Hello, for anyone that is interested...
Still going at this drifting lark. I think i'm getting a little bit better each practice day. I'm now getting a lot more confident in skidding. Mostly going to Buxton and now Birmingham wheels. This is good and bad, cos it's good that i'm skidding more dangerous tracks, but bad cos I keep trying to keep up with the big guys and 'wall rub', which could end in tears
Here is a little video i took on my little spy cam of the day:

Buxton Sunday 8th... Be there!

I want to try and master it to get all the way round the corner... Got Buxton at the weekend so we'll see then.
I'll come back with either a bent car, or a massive ego

Had it custom made... It's chopped off now. I had it upswept, then went off it...
Chopped it off.. It resonated behind the bumper and made my ears ring, so i slipped over something to bring it out about 300mm. Then went off that and cut it back
See below:
Just looked, not got a photo of it now. It's just standard ish looking.

Mini update:
I noticed small amounts of surface rust on my arches the other day, so I ground them back to good metal and 'special metal' primed them. This left me with a decision... Whether to try and colour match and risk it looking shit, or make it look completely different.
So I opted for the later and painted half my car matt blak with rattle cans in the wind.
Now i'm not the vainest of people, but I really like the way it looks. I'm half satisfied to drive it now in public

Right I suppose it is time to update this, just in case there is anyone looking at it.
Recently had skid woes.. Crashed into the steel/concrete wall at Buxton trying to show off. Bent some bits, car is poorly.
I'll get a couple of photos up of what it looks like now.
But good news: After getting 10th at the 2010 ODC (and best entry of the day) I have scraped enough money together to have a pop at the 2011 ODC.
So look out for #808 at Buxton Class A Qualifying.
P.S. Any advice on how to get better before hand would be greatly appreciated, as I don't do too well at Buxton, but at Mallory I can do well :S
