Just needed to know if I was going to need to clear a spot on the roster for you. ;)
 
@Bks I know you do :P and I do.
We also have a belkin router just now. It's the one orange supplied us with, but their sending out a new one so hopefully it will fix all the issues I've been having.

When I started I use comfort softs, then I moved to hards because I thought it's what everyone used xD I thought comfort hards are the easiest to drift on :S
 
Anyone who isn't getting Outsiders, you're seriously missing out! It was awesome.

Did you go to the cinema premier? :drool: I was gonna get a copy but had to buy my sister a birthday present, will get it soon though 👍
 
Got my copy of the Outsiders as well. It really blew me away, I am 100% determined to make it to Japan in the next 5 years no matter what it takes.
 
Sorry, can't. However I will say the delete scenes are just as interesting as the movie itself.

The deleted scenes made me laugh when they was taking the mick out of that Aussie who swore all the time, haha.
 
When Mitto was talking about the danger points on Bihoku and the little drop at the clipping point and how the track was off camber was awesome. Just shows howcommited they are to a hobby.

Was so right about what they said aswell, the rest of the world go big power and massive sticky tyres is what you need for drifting, but it just isn't. I seriously can't wait till I'm able to finally visit Japan.
 
For sure haha. We could have one giant meeting of online friends lol. The commitment level of the Japanese is what makes them such good drivers. I wish I had the money and the time to do the same. Or even the facilities for that matter seeing as even at the grassroot level in the US everyone runs a V8 and the only tracks we drive are ovals and parking lots.
 
I would love to go for a Matsuri. Just buy a missile and then drive it till it falls apart and just leave it somewhere. Haha

You have that atleast. Here in Germany it's just the big tracks and a few airfields, but that's all 500km+ away from me.

I will have to do it on the street. There is one small kart track here that could work, but I would have to speak to the owner. It's only used for karts and supermoto.
 
We recently found a kart track as well. Its pretty darn narrow however but it costs $750 to rent for a day and we could use it to practice.
 
Well over here I could ask the owner if he lets us drive there when it rains. He isn't making any money anyways, so if everybody puts in like 50€ for a day he should actually be happy.
And if we get a decent amount of people we could maybe have 2 days or so in a month to drift there when it's dry.
 
If enough went we could all throw in a bit of money and buy a cheap missile car over there, lol.

When Mitto was explaining about the commitment level they have to everything though, they have professional tea makers! What the hell, haha.

Practice days over here are the same though, there's Santa pod which is basically a car park with some cones in it, the odd day at one Silverstone in a car park, Mallory park has stopped days there, Buxton raceway which is an oval, Norfolk which is an oval, Essex arena which is an oval, Crail which is an old airfield I think, odd days at Lydden hill and that's it for the main ones. Used to be days at Lydd go kart track which was an awesome little track, but got stopped due to noise regulations even though it's near a firing range o.O
 
I really want to go to Japan as well. I really just want to drive Nikko, Meihan & Ebisu. Would be so awesome. Adam, where did you get your copy of Outsiders from? I'll get my mum to get me it as part of my birthday which is coming up very soon. >.<
 
The only good tracks in the US are out in the Northwest. PGP and all of that business, that's where I'll be moving if anywhere. I'm fortunate enough to have a family friend in Japan so I can go stay with him if I need to. Hes 35 minutes north of Ebisu lol.
