My initial response was going to be "Why would you want to", but then I saw the second video and thought - what a complete prat!

Cool

Inspiring it maybe and fun it is, but best done in a safe place and not on the road!

I have no problem with the first one as it off road. The second one, well, don't do when I am around. I think the comments above sum it up.

How can a car with no traction be an inspiration?

IMO the driver is a complete idiot for doing that on a public highway.

Everything is a bit of fun till it goes wrong, if it was to have gone wrong doing what he was doing God only knows what would have happened. We all enjoy a bit of fun, we have all been young, sometimes we get wreckless.
But young and wreckless disaster waiting to happen.
