Manchester drifters - Drifting forum

xlogic · 13-05-2008, 00:19

Is there any drifters in or around Manchester? I don't know of anyone round here that does it...I dont mean streeto, would like to get a team together and start competing in amateur events or at least have some people to club together and help work on cars/exchnage tips and maybe go on some trackdays. Ive done other "extreme" sports and it always helps to have peers to have a little friendly competition!

I'm only 20 miles out and work in manchester, I'm still trying to make it to DWYB so as of yet no real seat time

Plus i got the car everyone says you can't/shouldn't drift (Z32) but i still plan to try

Did you get a new one? I just picked up a S14a i'm too scared to push it sideways...its just too nice!

Bolf · 13-05-2008, 14:35

LOL I can't comment, i've never seen him skid

but he said he learnt in one so i'm guessing that means he learned something from it, hopefully not "never buy a Z32 for drifting"
