FWD DRIFT couldn't believ it!

Last night I was driving back from the Razorbacks game with my fiance in my 91" Charade, and as I was going around the roundabout, the car want in a complete drift as if it was RWD. I kept on the throttle and had my first FWD drift. 
I felt like going around again. 
Can't wait for my motor to be run in, in my Sprinter, getting frustrated seeing guys wanting to race and I need to take it easy. 600km to go.

Nah no handbrake I just took the roundabout quick, and next thing I know I'm doing a crazy DORIFTO!

Who needs a handbrake, with standard suspension just tap the brakes to get the back light and it'll step out. Did it in my 162 when the shocks were... well not up to standard...

yeah I pull that shit all the time in my corolla  , no hand brake or foot brake application needed, it's all about weight tranfer and accelerator control, once you understand how it done in a FWD you don't need braking at all, takes a lot of practice to control really well, but it can do it as good as a RWD, wouldn't dare try that shit in my celcia though, it's too valuable incase I slip up an do some damage.
I'll tell you the best drifting FWD car I have ever driven.................. Wait for it................... a FESTIVA no shit for some unknown reason they seem to drift fantasticlly, was going round a roundabout one night (in the dry not raining) the back just naturally slipped out (didn't even have to try) I just followed it through all the way around the roundabout and came off fine, Looked back and there was a dude in a commodore with his arm out the window giving me the thumbs up

I have done FWD drift once or twice in my sprinter before.
I did it once un-intentional when I was coming around a round-a-bout doing a right turn. It had been raining and I was ready to use the hand brake, but the arse end went out sideways and I corrected the car and end up doing a perfect turn.
I was stoked about doing a drift-o, and I had a mate in the car we were both laughing but both suprised that it turned out alright.
I have also done a few with the hand brake and also not really drift but power slide on dirt too.

Just wondering how hard it would be to drift on dry road with a FWD, its easy in the wet though.
I also like understeering in FWD. Just turn sharp in a corner and step on the throttle, your turning left, or right with the steering but the car is going straight, then you just back off the throttle and turn the nose back in. Is there something wrong with me!
