He was trying to do a handbrake turn & it all went pear shaped. At least he got the car up the right way! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I thought FFRR's had electronic handbrakes, more like a reverse bootlegger turn. |

That was what I was alluding to, I doubt you could do one a modern car with all the electronic safety gear. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

It has very little to do with how slippery the surface is, it's the swing and let the engine weight carry it through whilst the rear end is retarded, the problem with doing it in a high 4x4 is that there is so much energy in the spin that when the tyres grip the car falls of its tyres |

The Discoverys and Range Rovers with manual handbrakes all had a transmission handbrake on the end of the transfer box AFAIK- which locked both front and rear drive shafts thus effectively applying braking to all 4 wheels - absolutely useless for a handbrake turn but better than a simple rear wheel handbrake for holding the vehicle in slippery slopes
