    I'm going to be in England for school for a few weeks (July 22-August 14). I have weekends free and was hoping to find some events, meets, rad cars or just car people up for chilling with a tourist.

    London July 22/23
    Coventry July 30/31 and August 6/7
    London August 13

    Thank you!

    So. I'm in Coventry. Would really love a rundown on any meets I could check out or even just to meet for a pint. Saw a pretty rugged MK4 Supra and an Altezza that was mostly wing when I was at the pub yesterday. There are cars around here somewhere.

    drift matsuri is on the 7th of august, although it is about a 2 hour drive from Coventry.

    Flatout Factory run drift tuition days at Birmingham wheels raceway, they have a day scheduled for this sunday (31st). I don't know what level of driver you are or if they have any driver spaces available though. maybe check the website.
