the way fowards is sideways!!!!! well not in my polo, but in my beemer tramp drfiter it is. drifting has been going for years over here and majorly in ireland. tramp drifting is more common because its alot cheaper and not as competative. in bideford (were i live) there is a group of kids that call them selves BDA (bideford drift association) they go everywhere side ways.lol . loving some of those cars especially that soarer.

that looks so much fun, wish i was born in japan :(

is there much of a low level drift scene over here? only ever heard of that D1 thing (i think thats what it was called any way).

To be fair we sort of invented it in Europe...

Autotesting:

Some boys do it at Crail 1/4 mile track, very UK car though... :( Shows that people are doing it at a grass roots level though which is good :

Meh, not biggest fan of jap cars and hate it even more when they tag it with

"JDM" hate that almost as much as "scene"

dont think they realise what JDM stands for

altho i do want a hot rod

Unlike "scene" JDM is actually a valid term though...oblique it's thrown around a bit too much

Love the wheels:

defo going jap for my next car

the power to money ratio is just too good!

i can not aford own them nor would it fit in the garage tu much crap (AND I DONT MEAN THE POLO)

BUT there pimp as fook tbh

That Alfa is gorgeous.

But some of those Japanese motors are awful.

In the theme of drift, but not jap however, check out this video... e39 m5+ rain + a few miles of "de-restricted toll road" + one awesome driver = fun and games, i wish i had been in the car!!!

Impressive. Here is a link to the Nurburgring drift video, Faszination. Some heroic driving in a quite obviously brutal RUF CTR "Yellow Bird":

Here is a video of the man who is probably most responsible for the popularity of drifting as a sport. You'll need your speakers on and turned up to enjoy the rukkus noise of the AE86:

...and here is the Drift Bible...pretty much all you need to know on how to drift. Keiichi Tsuchiya as above doing the tutoring: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO1uXMPc0yo

This boy can do a 360: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2z58i97KhE

I'd love to own a classic skyline though

That's why god invented race tracks...

...or in the case of Japan mountain roads

What happened when you got caught?

car confiscated and got baned for 12 months, 6points and a £1500 fine, bloke in subaru tried gettin away n got 4 month in prison but his car was stolen too

Most of the cars in that link are poo imo, but I'm bias as i dont like 99% of Jap cars.

That red one posted by will_pig and the one Heartagram look mint though!
