do you drift at all?

You havn't read the thread have you? haha
The S14 is a drift machine (as are all my old cars)

It's what I do bud, It's my life!

When I move back to CPT next year I need to find out where this spot is from you. I can even give you some pointers if you need.

oh sh*t sorry never realised was talking to you, haha my bad buddy wow very embarresd....
ja that sounds like a good idea, i know another place but havent been there yet. ja lol im sure ill need some.
1st time i went side ways ,and controlled it....was amazing, i couldnt stop after that. to save tires i went on wet days , havent been for a while tho, my car went in for spray so ya.

No worries bud

how long have you been drifting for and who taught you?
or did you learn by yourself?

I've been drifting for about 2 years I think....But I havn't done as many days as I would have liked to during that time (money and car issues mostly)

I taught myself for most of it but as soon as I got to my first drift day people helped left right and center. They still do till this day! The drifting community is the most friendly and generous community I have ever come accross!

I hope to bring that to SA if it's not the same vibe there already

thats kwl man, moneys always a problem, in everything.
well you see drifting isnt as big here and there's not really "big" events for it that often. drags are more popular here, but when they have drags they also have drifting (in the background) on the other part of the track.
anybody can go, its a practice thing. im gonna go to the one on friday and get in some practice, its just an oval so should be fun to practice.

Yeah it's my mission to bring it up in SA...especially in CPT as I know it's bigger up north
I use to live in CPT and I wa involved in drag racing too so now how big it is there

haha yes, joburg has a big place, CPT has....nothing really.

CPT has a lot...its all just undiscovered and new territory....all us capetonians take a while to catch on haha

lol dats wat i mean like we dont have big drift events.
so tru we r too lazy and layed back . haha
how long have you been overseas for then? and are u gonna ship the s14 down?

Been away for too long...accumatively about 3/4 years now.

Yes the S14 is coming with me, including my whole garage. The S14 will be the company demo car

wow, so u missing CPT?
Nice, would like to see the car up close.
how was the first few months of learning to drift? wanna know what to expect if i get into this properly

Yeah that's why I'm moving back. Came back from a holiday there 3 months ago and it confirmed it!

You always learning to drift bud! And the level is always being pushed up so its always interesting. All I know is drifting has been fun....and always will be!

Just enjoy it...It's what it's about! Never think much about it other than developing your car further and pushing yourself further as you develop.

Drifting has come from people stuffing around in their cars...having fun....so nothing will change.

Anyone can learn to drift in a day (under the right guidance)...its all about developing and pushing yourself further and further all the time.

Thats cool, CPT is unique, its so homey if you know what i mean.
ok i see, ja it is just so much fun!
im nervous tho, like with trying to enter the corners at higher speeds, i supose il just have to build up, like gradually go faster and faster.
but ill get there , just practice, practice and more practice.
