Looks like quite a nice day for it today. I'll be down for a watch in a couple of hours.

Well, I showed restraint and managed to stay a spectator for all of 45 mins before getting on the track with the car! Just looked too good to miss.

Thanks to Steve for getting me on for the afternoon, and to Puppy for lending me his trousers.....!

The two tracks were superb for drifting from one corner into another, the surface was so low friction the S had no problems at all getting into a drift and mantaining it - what a car

Anyway the driving put paid to the photography but I did get these in the morning.






































Looking forward to everyone elses pics - and the next Drift Day!

I have some video, i'll post it later.

Hi everyone!

Well worth the 1 hour and 45 minute sleep I had this morning after getting in a 4am and being up at 5:45 to be ready for Baz to pick me up for 6:15am!!! (sorry Baz for stinking of Sambuca)

What a fantastic day I have had, good to catch up with you all and to meet the new, Shane and others and the MAD DOG Puppy! Who got me into lots of trouble and my camera nearly conviscated! And your exhaust is mega loud!!! Quality for getting black flagged for your one handed drifting technique!

Thank you Kiwi, Puppy, Gav and Baz for letting my have your passenger seats and Kiwi for the helmet! It was an amazing day. Next time i'll be taking the 5 on there!!!

Got lots of pictures and videos to sort through right now so I will be posting them up later after I have had a little snooze!

Anyway my mind is now made up and Kiwi its gotta be..... 18 months = JDM + white

For those who are on facebook, pics are on here! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=1406...92655312&ref=mf


Thanks again everyone!!

That looks like cracking fun. Did the tyres take much of a hit or was the surface sufficiently slippy to look after them? Do any southern tracks do anything similar to this? Ok enough of the questions...!

Thanks for a fantasic day with all you mental drifters and especially for the sideways rides

Being an Invidia fan it was lovely to hear it's sweet music again. In fact I can still hear it now, thanks to Puppy
