Hi all,

Been into drifting for quite a while – only watching! I have certain people to thank for this. They successfully passed on their enthusiasm for it a few years ago by flinging me round roundabouts and it’s kinda stuck! Then i met some other guys who were just as mad and realised i kinda liked it! I used to be at Turweston a lot and now I often help at the D1 events @ Silverstone and go along to any more that I can elsewhere (Brum!!!). Post as Xcite on SXOC. Am currently getting my ass into gear to actually learn to drive and not rely on other people all the time! Want to actually get round to drifting proper when I can, so far just been sliding around a field in an AE86 – which was fun!!! so far i can do burnouts and donuts better than i can drive...

hoping to be at UKD1 on Sunday and i actually get to enjoy this time cos im not working! (got fed up of being called a traitor :P)

Lau, LJDJ, Xcite...whatever!

Avid Merrian accent: HEllo to U fellow driftboys! (/end accent)

My name is Milosz. Just started drifting a couple of months ago, and I love every second of it!! My most addicting passtime (when I can afford it). It isn't easy being a student and being a drifter at the same time u know. My car is a 92 facelift S13 with some suspension, brake and minor engine work done to it. There is still a very long way to go until its complete. But hopefully it'll be morphed into a jap by the time I'm done with her (someday ). So I'll introduce myself with a Thumbs up to all you drifters out there, keep it up! Thumb up Pictures here!


DORI-DORI!

Alright boyo`s!!

My names Matt Townsend, mattyboi to everyone. Been in two drifting for two years thanks to crazy clips on the `tinterweb!!

I have had my S13 for just over two months and am practising as much as poss and hopefully entering the clubman D1 next year. I`m only 21 so had to sell my old car and everything that wasn`t bolted down to buy, mod and insure my beast. I have started my drift team, TEAM HIRO, with some mates so they can help me out with mods etc so thanks to them

Hello

Got myself a Skyline R32GTR, and once it's 100% I intend to try some of your sideways action

Car has been off the road for 4 months having the engine rebuilt, but I've got the car back now and am in the process of sorting out a few minor problems before getting a new MOT and I can finally drive it properly again

Hi!

My name is Martin I´m 20. I´m from Germany and working for an isurance company, so my english is not the best :-)

I drive my S14 nearly 2 jears, and often got to the Nürburgring Nordschleife, or Hockenheimring:-)

But unfortunately DRIFTING is not so popular in germany :-( If u will practise it on the openb roeads the cops will catch you:-)

Thats my car :-)

regards Martin

Hey what's up, I'm JOnJ0n and I just found out about this place from www.ziptied.com forums. I got a couple sites up right now also. I have a drift only site up at www.dritosenyou.com and a team website up at www.midnightillusion.com... If you go to my drift site there are a lot of good videos you can download. From local videos to drift videos from where ever. Enjoy...

Oh ya, my bad. I live in Okinawa, Japan right now and slide around my Nissan C33 Laurel. To see pics just go to my team site. A few things have changed since those pics but they are kind of the same...
