While taking a shot of Hoshino’s Silvia with steam flowing over it from a nearby overheating RX-7, Dino Dalle Carbonare remarked that it looked like something from Back To The Future.
So, I had to run in and do my best Marty McFly pose.
Thanks Dino!
Here’s the pics Dino has posted of of Summer Matsuri so far, part one, and part two

You utter a curseword and try to do something about it with the steering wheel and pedals, then there’s that sound like someone stomping on a really big soda can.
Then, silence.
You look at the other guy, nod in a gentlemen’s agreement and drive back to the pits to inspect the damage.

It’s funny to finally see yourself on a website you’ve been following for years.

Practicing close drifting inevitably results in damage. Repainting and restickering panels costs money, as does replacing suspension parts, and extra usage of a stressed race engine will only shorten its lifespan.
What’s the best way for a high-level driver to get in some practice without the equally high repair bills?
Drift a missile!

A couple of days ago, some rotary freaks from Belgium sent me an email asking for information about this Mazda Famila, with a photo taken by Ben from Japanese Nostalgic Car attached to it.
“Didn’t I already post a few pics of that car already?” I thought.
Sure enough, I’d posted about the Euro and American cars at the 2009 Time Machine Festival, and I’d definitely posted about the Fairladys that were there, as well as a put up a panorama photo of the meeting, but I’d completely forgotten to upload the rest of the photos I took!
So, here they are!

Skyline maintainence time! I noticed the front brake pads were looking a bit thin, and since there are quite a few events coming up, I thought it would be a good idea to change them.
Also, why is there an Emotion CR-Kai sitting there, test fitted on the back? Oh, I’ll never tell!
