Just got back from a very .....VERY......wet wembley.

Well done Ffrenchy and Ross, to get that car ready from a drag car to a drift car in 2 days AND qualify for the top 16 was some going lads!!!!:god
It was that raw, that the lads were mapping the car in practise!

As soon as my 141 photo\'s have uploaded, i\'ll post some pics.

All i can say is, that car looks better going sideways than in a straight line:chat.

Hope it carries on for next year!

Wow it looks absolutely superb !! Much more at home on the drift than the drag strip lol.

That 350z with the big wing just looks stupid !!!

It was spuerb, if the weather had held off....it would have been perfect!

The 350z does look slightly mad, but the Driver was Dutch driver Olaf Cummins, and the spoiler is his respect / homage to the group B rally car era apparently, so even if it doesnt have too much effect, at least its there for some reason :D

Was up with ross,frenchy and paddy till nearly 10 on friday night helping with the car. Early stages of mapping in the dark.
Was finishing off my car for Brands Time attack round but I have had a nightmare with the trailor, something to with hydraulic tilt as trailor jammed in tilted position had no way off getting the car there!!! Gutted is a word!!!!:2Mad. Would have driven it there but didnt think a 41/2 hour drive there was an option.

I wondered what happened to you Matt! What a shame!! Was a good round too and nice weather.

Well done Ross, you certainly pulled out all the stops to get the car ready in time!

Really really chuffed to see an FD skidding. There are loads that have done really well in Japan but very few over here perhaps due to the FD tax?! Good to meet Ross and the others, hope to see the FD at Lydden Hill where it could really show its true colours at one of the fastest and most challenging tracks thats being drifted at the moment :)

another phot:

Thanks fo posting up the pics Royal. Very pleased with the car and driver, he just needs more seat time and we will see the true potential of the combination.
Ffrenchys comments on the car were very positive, lots of grip, lots of go etc, ao  all we have to do is move the seat for for the next event, which by the sound of things will be this next BDC round.

Is Frenchy doing the British Open in it then?  p*ssed I\'ll miss that. I\'ve cancelled the events I was doing this month as I\'ve skinted myself, although may do a track day at Lydden Hill as they\'ve just started doing drift sessions there and I really want to support them if I can sell my arse or something!
