Yeah Boiii Not only 17 year olds do handbrake turns. Most teenagers do handbrake turns, especially boys. However in my country you're not allowed to drive or get a license until you're 18
And here I am. 18. Two days ago crashed my father's Freelander trying to do this because a friend of mine (a girl obviously). I'm still not sure if I impressed her.
many credit the presenters of top gear with the discovery of the link between female arousal and handbrake turns, but there is sporadic evidence of earlier pioneers in auto-erotica. For example, Professor George A. McDoyle from the Penistown Institute of Mechanics published a thesis that revealed Henry Ford created a top secret R&D program after an incident involving a ridiculous amount of oversteer and a female passenger.
I was smarter. I waited until I was 22 and had proper car mastery. Had a nice small corner without any traffic nearby that was frozen over, so I could execute a slow and safe 90° handbrake turn - perfect execution with countersteering and all. Turned out she had placed a 10 liter bucket of white paint in the trunk (can't remember whether I knew about it beforehand) and this was probably the reason a decent amount of it was spilled. Tldr: It was the perfect handbrake turn but she hadn't closed the damn lid tight enough.
After years of pootling around in my Dad’s old Astra (beggars can’t be choosers!) with an e-brake, I went to move his shiny, new, ultra-modern Toyota off their drive to make room for a delivery and I spent ages looking for the release button, only to find it had a good old-fashioned handbrake lever! Toyota are listening, at least…
ironically, turbos used to be exciting, now they just made it not fun and soon electric cars... they are forgetting cars are felt not just driven by enthusiasts...
Also if it was the same girl if the girl was 17 when she was with Jeremy, she would have been 25 with Hammond, and probably not going to art college with him.
soundseeker63 normally I'll agree and joke about it but I would say they are maximizing space efficiency but that also means the car is never fully off as the brake master cylinder is always engaged. always buy cars with old school brakes ;)
Seriously though, it is safer having an analog, cable activated handbrake. If for some reason your normal brake pedal fails you can apply ever increasing handbrake to slow yourself down. With the push button ones they either wont work at highway speed or will activate fully with both outcomes likely ending in a crash.
Absolutely! because the push button ones are usually tied to the electronic brakes they dont want you to have it activated at highway speeds and thus... i see it as a safety nightmare
In the north of denmark were i live. An old couple was driving their new golf. Not paying mind to the bridge going up. They tried everything to stop even resorted to use the electronic handbrake. Nothing worked and they died
My 944 doesn't have a strong enough handbrake to lock up the wheels, not to mention it's tucked between the door and the seat. Maybe that's why I don't have a girlfriend.
Jack Lines Yeah, but that involves tapping brake lines, moving the seat, and quite a few other decent jobs. Also, I don't have the money to burn through rear tires.
If you want to do handbrake turns, make sure you have a RWD car. Because if something goes wrong (ie. the cable snaps) you can clutch kick and pretend nothing broke
Its funny cause yesterday I was executing said handbrake turn in a snowy parking lot to impress the ladies watching, and hitting one of their cars in the process.
I’ve finally was able to experience the handbrake. It certainly comes in handy in snow if you pull it at the right time when you don’t have a LSD equipped front drive car. Thankfully I haven’t overdone it yet.
A mate of mine owned a mini and tried to impress his new girlfriend with a handbrake turn…got it up to about 40mph, cranked over the steering, yanked on the handbrake…slewed it around… and ripped all four tyres off the rims.
@@DLTX1007 I had to attempt in a 1.8 fwd civic, in India of all places. It actually went reasonably well, though I wouldn't do it again, I have a quiet and calm driving style and handbrake turns don't really suit me.
Mini vans more often then not have pedal brake or foot brake levers not a hand brake levers. At least here in the US they do. I have tried to do a foot brake turn or even drift using a Foot pedal brake and it doesn't work. The reason is because of how the pedal brakes work compared to hand brakes. The pedals have to be ratcheted on and then canceled out. As much and as hard as I tried I could not rachet it on and cancel it out fast enough to slide. I tried soo hard but no beans.
Watching a video on them talking about unplugging electric cars and then watching this right after caught me by surprise. I went back to see if it was from the same scene, and they are. Ending with Jeremy saying “now” and starting with him saying it again threw me through a loop. I enjoyed this occurrence Not to mention the videos are from two different TH-camrs, the first being called Swift
Yeah i made a hand break turn on a 87" integra on a muddy road to impress my crush,almost crashed into a river ,but i didnt luckily god of traction saved my ass
When I was younger, I tried to impress a girl with a handbrake turn in my mk4 Ford Escort. Did it in an empty carpark, but with a static burger van in the centre. I dumped the clutch, went to pull the handbrake but in my excitement, slipped off the clutch, katapulted towards the only thing in the car park and took the open door and a load of plastic bread baskets along for the ride. 🤣🙈 she pulled that face!
Somewhere I remember seeing or hearing something about Top Gear being "An insight into the Male Mind" or something like that. This scene is a perfect example.
Handbrake turns only work when you can do a full 180 using throttle and be in gear when you let off the lever and get going in an instant. It helps when they are drunk too.
Had a rear wheel drive Ranger, all i had to do was slam the accelerator (was a supercharged V6 on a company truck for some reason) and the rear would break loose, let off and it'd come right back. Good times...good times.
Our neighbour (He was a window dresser for several big London stores) could not work out why he could not do a handbrake turn in an Alfasud. Those that know, will understand. As will drivers of SAAB cars of that era.
@Ex Gamer na they just lost it cause top gear was genuine in terms of they were really crazy like going to syria and try to pass to lebanon or something and the syrian army didnt let them did u get it bro. and now theyre trying to make it real but no the need go back to real f*** things they did in top gear

I find talking with the woman WHILST performing a handbrake turn yields better results just don't say "Watch this"
I like this. Just casually keep talking throughout the maneuver. Power move
Yeah, especially if both of you talks about things then you performed the manoeuvre as smooth as butter.

Those already exist. A lot of modern sports cars have ways of increasing/decreasing electronic traction control.
Is nobody gonna talk about the fact that both Hammond and Clarkson had a girlfriend named Cathy who lived in a farm when they were 17.
Just to clarify
Clarkson's girlfriend name is Cathy
Hammond's girlfriend name is Katie
Sorry
Also if it was the same girl if the girl was 17 when she was with Jeremy, she would have been 25 with Hammond, and probably not going to art college with him.
Manufacturers are doing it so its another thing they can charge you £££s for when it breaks, rather than £30 for a pair of new cables.
