Default Driftskool

Just got back from a day at the driftskool at silverstone.

Fookin brilliant day got quite good but have got a tiny bit of experiance, Couple of D1 lads there as the instructors and they were top.....

Had a passenger ride with a lad called Matt Steele(i think) who was very good and so fuckin smooth..

Well recomended if you into that sort of ting.........

And ended up with clubman level license outta of it which allows me to compete in the euro drift series......



Just got to get the 325 ready and get the hell out there............

Not too sure on the price as the other half got it for me as she got fed up with me doing it in the E46...

But they were using 2 s13's one with a welded diff and one without to give both sides of the coin...

Was alot of people there today so didnt have hours and hours drifting, also JTuner mag was there and the mag that Itsmeagain works for as im sure he was there.....

All in all prob got an hour actual driving, but when you going round and round ten mins is really enough in one go...

So did i!

I didnt know that was you!

You the guy who came down from Manc, but not originally from up north? Came with your mrs? Redhead bird?

How crap was you? Pretty good i bet, but I didnt notice, as i was busy being fucking SHITE

Any skills I had 6months ago (which were low back then ) have fucking dissapeared

I literally just got back, me, that fit bird we was with, matt (steele, the one that took us all out and shown us how bad we REALLY are, lol ) and 4-5 other drifters went down the pub for a bit after, and ended up there for 4hrs

That was me, the gobby twat who didnt shut the fuck up all day...

Was a top day, and going out in Matts motor makes you realise how shite you are at it even tho you think your doing ok....

You were doing fine mate, i think you had the shit car without the welded diff and it made it hard to drift unless you were really fookin going for it...

As you can see from my other half i dont really go for the over the top birds with their arses hanging out their jeans, but that aint to say she wasnt a nice girl....

Yeah, you was loud, cracked me up tho, loud in a funny way rather than loud in a dickhead way

I had a go in the one with the welded diff too, but was still shit, mainly cause it wouldnt countersteer properly as my legs were touching the wheel cause of that gay seat

Yeah, Jennas jeans were lowest ones ever, at a few points you could even see the top of the V of her vag

Your mrs nice tho, you make her sound boring in that last post, lol, im SURE i recognise her? She do work for something car related?

What ford is an even remotley good drift car? Or gonna go for a trampdrift style?

A skateboard has more steering angle than a Sierra

(IMO thats the best bet mind, GLSI Sierra or similar, destruction derby special)

My trampdrift stickers for my S13 arrived earlier

Already told Dan what cheap ass stuff to do regarding geometry, diff, etc etc etc to get a sierra behaving like something that handles pretty decent for drifting, and i like cheapo stuff, so ill be helping a lot.

Should be good, and make interesting reading

well looks like our Ł75 sierra has fallen through

it turns out that it cant be driven, no loom, and its a diesel,, with a snapped cambelt lol

although the shell is mint, its gonna be too muck effort and too expensive for what we want really.

so if you hear of a 2.0l saph for sale for less than Ł400 let us know

Stiggy was cool as, But i bet they get fed the fuck up with going round and round with twats like us that cant drift for shit....

Stavros, I think i alienated pretty much every one there, was taking the piss outta the couple from Liverpool , winding up all the girls telling them to learn to park before drifting and so on....

All in jest of course

And that fookin seat was so high i had to crane my neck over to stop me head hitting the sunroof.....

Still a brilliant day and the owner Terry was a good lad and let my other half have a go at a doughnut.....

I think it helped that i was there with a good bunch...I.E stav, the jtuner lads and all others as everyone seemed up for a laugh and nobody was trying to be daddy cool and being to competative(spl)
