Impressive, you car still look sooooo clean and shiny!!! What's da secret? =P
Actually during my previous trip there were no rain at all, even off road tracks were dry... see the pic besides 4WD... it was off road 4WD track actually.
How did you make your Lion "wee wee"? =P
Seriously, Go to advance driving classes.... tips and tricks will be taught. Basically there r two things to control: steering and brake... must synchronise at the right time. Must also understand the laws of physics a little bit.. something like angular momentum and centrifuggal forces..etc . Not v.difficult to master the stunt do actually.
Probably I will learn how to do side wheely stunts next time.... but need major shocky and differential modifications...! Will not modyfy this car for that purpose.
Anyway, that's really a nice one, also a nice shot.
NOW, I just want to share with you how to do this 'stunt'.
First and foremost the stunt is not for the 'show off' purpose, it is the technique for safe driving in case of an emergency.
The technique is actually how to drive safely to a stop while avoiding a collision. The 'V-kang' is not the main issue actually.
If u observe carefully, at the road side there is a little sloping up, so as I drive towards it the front left hand wheel is being pushed up, and at the same time while turning the steering to left and braking hard the front right wheel is pushed down by momentum, hence the rear left hand side of the car would be lifted up.... hence it is called "V-kang" ['mat rempet' terminology....]
this stunt is not possible for cars w/o ABS and EBD. Cars without ABS tend to skid sideways and spins.

Well, reading the explanation of the technique it's really impressive, but will need good control, fast response and skills to do it.
From the looks and explanation of it, if overdoing it could over-turn the car. Dangerous technique, hehe. The shot was also nicely taken, I presume it's done fast, thus will require high ISO settings and good timing. Clean shot!
Looks like it'll hurt the suspension, did you do any mod to the suspension?
