This is a trick used by one of Sweden's (and the world's) top rally drivers. Obviously it's hell on the brakes, but it can be used to bring your tail around in the same manner a power skid does for a rwd car. I've tried it a few times and it does work. To get out of the skid, release the brakes and drive into the skid. Best done in *big* icy parking lots than on skinny country roads. Vic Lee -- St. Olaf College
