Your doing that the hard way, just put it in reverse, get up to about 20-30k's then put it in first and dump the clutch, thats how i use to do it in my old charade that i posted pics of, and to top it off once it stopped going backwards you rip the hand brake on and sit there doing a burn out, in a FWD that is.
This does not help him tho since its an auto, had an auto telstar after a dumb bitch wrote off my charade, the auto only lasted one roll back then every gear was a forward one, even park, reverse and neutral.
