Martin Ffrench's 435 bhp S14.5 car * For Sale * - Page 2 - Drifting forum

KrisD1 · 13-06-2008, 18:46

Nice car, I've seen you drift a couple of times at the ovalring at Warneton (Belgium)way back when it wasn't as popular as it is now. You are one of the reasons I got into drifting. I really hope you can stay so I can enjoy your driving.

RED · 13-06-2008, 19:16

Stunning car. Im shocked to hear that you can't get sponsorship. Dismayed to hear your quitting as your one of the top drifters in Ireland. Im sure you have your reasons for doing so.

Wolvreen · 13-06-2008, 19:25

Is it a front end s15 or just the lights?

skylineslider · 13-06-2008, 19:38

2young2drift · 13-06-2008, 21:37

Sorry to see this Martin, good luck with the sale- and I hope this isn't the last we've seen of you.

Dont do it Ffrenchy, you are one of my favorite drivers, pure balls out style!

Cruising_R32 · 14-06-2008, 10:56

WOW I'm really sorry to hear that you are going to quit drifting Martin.

I love watching you drift- the aggressive drifting style you have is so entertaining, especially when you twin drift and scare the shit out of your opponent by pushing so hard

Its such a shame you can't get sponsorship, especially considering how entertaining you are in every round

Best of luck with what ever you decide to try next

well lads sorry to inform you there will not be a new car thats it for me im afraid due to lack of sponsorship and some other things regreatably there will be no more diffen for me.

full explanation to follow shortly.

Oh FFS

Man that sucks, I've been busting my arse to get to JDM at Wembley and then ProDrift so I can go up against awesome drivers like you and the lack of sponsorship is keeping you and many others out

if you can't get any, what chance do the rest of us have

I really hope someone with dough sees this and realises you are clearly worthy of sponsorship. I've got my fingers crossed for you mate and am praying something comes up before you actually sell her.

Sorry, thats rubbish. LOL From everything I've seen, and from the one time he drove my car, on the road, with me in the passenger seat, I'd say he's probably one of the best drifters in the world.

retrodan · 14-06-2008, 20:06

agreed, he is my fav driver by far, such a sound top lad aswell, i feel bad having sponsership when someone ALOT better than me has none!!

dude cant u just stop for while rather than sell up?!?!?

RandomGuy · 14-06-2008, 20:37

surly there is an alternative??
sell your ass!!!!

What stoooopid sponsors have turned that oportunity down!!!!
Fools!!!!!

Messydan · 14-06-2008, 23:03

Ive just about watched every video of you on youtube and more. As RandomGuy says, sponsors are mad you let you give it all up.

You never know, you threatening to sell up, may spark something off. Good luck fella.
