    Its not really a stupid question, although I have not been here as long as some of you but I still feel quite strongly about the way things are flowing on this forum, I use driftworks as an online guide to drifting, a place were I can find parts, cars, technical tips, details on up and coming drift days. I want to be able to participate in adult conversations about drifting. But as time goes by there is less and less for me to read, there is an increasing number of wasted threads been generated through out the forum by Keyboard drifters.
    Its not my place to mention this and I expect a huge whoopin from some of you guys for posting this, but this thread could be used as a guide to who is the real deal and who is not. I know that the only evidence is to meet in person and see real drivers in action, driftworks issue drivers tabs to proven drivers but for some of us we rarely get out much because of work, in between cars or are not driving in the right places.
    But I for one would like to know who is who, and more importantly who I will except comments from, as there are to many guys on here with saxo,s parked in their driveways doing 5 min research via google and then making smart comment on this forum.

    What do you drive...?

    I drive a PS13 at the moment. I got this car from Harry a few weeks back, I did a touge event in it last week just to check it out, needs a little tlc on the cosmetics and a few bits here and there. But a good little skid car. I should be out and about more in the new year so I will meet some of you then:thumbs:

    I agree with this but I'm not old enough to drive on the road yet, therefore im a Keyboard drifter, i drift alot on LFS and Forza 2, the closest i can get at the minute.

    why does this seem to like a `blow your own trumpet` thread?

    im sure there are many people out there that dont drift but may also know their stuff. i.e people in other forms of motorsport


    i think most questions have been covered and its just a case of using the search button correctly to find information.

    if not, putting a thread up asking doesnt necessarily mean you get shit advice because it would be corrected by the people that do know.
