Gratuitous slow-mo oversteer shot? Check. Complete ignorance of correct grammar? Naturally. Needless high-fiving? Of course.
All the drift video clichés are here in abundance, as sideways genius Ryan Tuerck shows an utter disregard for tyres on his way up Burke Mountain in his heavily modified Scion FR-S. That's a Toyota GT86 in proper English.
Toyota, of course, designed the '86 to be something of an everyman drift machine, but rubber mutilation of this level was surely never on the drawing board. Note the non-standard amount of steering lock on display, aided by some friendlier wheel arch clearance.
Despite there being straights (albeit small ones) on his ascent, it's difficult to find any evidence of the steering wheel being held at quarter-to-three. Tuerck almost manages it at 1:32, but otherwise we're stumped.
And, just as the poor FR-S wheezes in relief at the top, Tuerck's mate Pat Goodin turns up with an equally drifty Nissan. Cue some perilously close twin-skids back down the hill.
Needless to say, the toll road was closed for the purposes of the pair's japery, and none of what they do (apart from the odd high-five, perhaps) should be repeated at home...
