darn.. somebody beat me to the fact that it was a Pug... and I do like where the spare is.. to the point where I have already planned on that for my spider...

 

wow, um I think he just lost control. probably too much speed + inexperience 02.gif

 

A lot of the newer cars are coming out with those, not many on the car side of things but I know there are a ton of vans with them. My parent's Sienna has the spare under the car. PITA to change a tire though.

 

Saw that vid on a different forum. I doubt he was trying to drift, just too fast for conditions. Aren't 206's FWD anyway? That scooter guy was lucky he wasn't in the way.

 

damn! poor car!

 

Another reason that Front Drivers make bad drifters... you can never get the same steep steering angles you can as on a rear wheel drive car. Front Driver's only let their wheels turn so far to avoid stressing the CV joint and touching the axle... If he could have gotten a steeper angle of attack on that wheel.. he probably could have steered out of that drift.
