hahah, i do that a lot in my school as well

Haha! It kinda reminds me of school. When in school back then, I would race my friend to the top of the stairs. I'll use my hands on the handrails to take the shortest and fastest line.. its cute

... when you don't just drift the shopping cart, but also simulate the FR/RR feel by arranging its load.

ya i do that too, i like to put the heaviest thing in front of the cart to simulate r34, in the back to simulate mr2 or mrs lol

When theres nothing, i stopped...people ask why are you stopping? No engine sorry.... haha

hahahahaha nice one

cool pic ishida

Oh the picture is my current ISHIDA avatar....

I hear talk of Shopping cart drifting!

If I may note, shifting the weight does nothing to make it feel like an FF or an FR. It's more like MR or Heavy FR. Since you're pushing from behind, most of the force comes from the rear, essentially giving us a RWD shopping cart.

Don't you just hate the ones that have all four swiveling wheels? Sure they're fun to slalom, but you can't throw them sideways like *that* since we don't have a steering wheel to countersteer.

Looks like everyone who play D5 will turn into car freaks.

When we arrive late to any arcade meeting - we always tell the other person "No boost in "CP4"" >.>

LOL, i definitely don't do that xD

Well, the shopping carts at Cash and Carry seem tolerable for me when I power slide them around. When I feel the need to make the cart's wheels face in the right direction again, I just tighten my grip on the handle.

And those were the days wherein I'd usually let go of the shopping cart while it's moving, esp. when nothing and no one's in front of me.

Oh, but they do make a difference. I used to shop for gallon-bottles (those 19-liter containers for water dispensers) and if i shop for 2 (meaning, ~38 kg of water), shifting them to the front end of the cart makes it slide a tad easier, a bit like FR cars.

Second type of cart i loathe after those 4-swivel wheels: those unbalanced carts that pull to one side. I can barely countersteer in those.

I thought you would use the water to cool down your engine since it must have overheat even with an air conditioned race track...Inter-Cooler! haha

Not for FF or FR though. Even if the weight was in the back it'd act like an MR or an RR car. Sure it might be easier and predictable up front; but then again, the majority of FF cars have their engines... well, up front. Just like FR cars.

On a side note, simulating a braking weight shift by lifting the rear as you slow down and then swinging it around helps break traction.

I think we need a topic dedicated to Shopping cart drifting.

..when you see gutters at a different perspective.

hahahahahahahahahaha !!! intercooler, good one ishida! hahahahaha

.... that when you see roadworks and diversions ahead, you automatically think "Chicanes to tackle!"....

You know, I thought was the only one who uses drives a shooping cart differently. Even all jokes aside, drifting with a shopping cart is actually practical since your allowed to take a better line which saves you a few seconds.

Not really needed, but it does feel better. Although I have a feeling the shopping cart's tires is getting wayyyyy more tear than any other person would use.....>__>

When the adage "Get your mind out of the gutter!" mean differently to you.

Well, the traction of most shopping carts' wheels is really subpar, they help when you must drift but they are a countersteering nightmare. I'd like to try drifting a rubber-tired shopping cart, though.

I don't know about you guys, but from what I can tell, ALL shopping carts here have rubber on their wheels.

phillipines shopping carts have rubberon their wheels? cool!

except in malaysia, shopping carts here don't have rubber wheels

There's two kinds around my place, the hard plastic one and the rubber one. The rubber one is usually mounted on the swivel-wheeled ones.

And that, my friends, is how you make an FR-simulating cart.

Anybody tried any FF shopping carts yet?

Of course, grips like no tomorrow but controlling the ass is a bit hard since you must feel it.
