I thought there was a drifting topic here but I was too lazy to look. Sorry! Anyway, after work I didn't wanna jump right into traffic so I stopped off at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. There was this news stand across from Starbucks and Claim Jumper and in the Trade section I saw this German magazine called "Sport Auto." Inside there was an article about a drifting competition called the "Drift Challenge." It was pretty cool and pretty crazy, too. They were drifting all generations of BMW M3's, M5's (Those cars weigh 4000lbs.) all kinds of old school BMW's, Porsche 911's (996) Boxsters and 928's. There was even a VW BUG drifting for pete's sake :thumbsup Very groovy baby :p

yeah, i remember seeing a video (either Option or Drift Tengoku) where they covered a drifting event at the Hockenheim circuit in Germany. you could see everything from Porsches to Jaguars trying to drift. of course, then Orido came by in an S14 and put everyone to shame :D

Or, just go rent Ronin and fix a glass of cognac.:)

Kazaa has more than a few viruses lurking in it - make sure your utilities are updated.
