did any1 watch 5th gear yesterday on SPEED channel? they had a CA pwered 180, but they called it a nissan 200 - is that what they call 240's in UK? but anywayz, it was just a short bit about drifting in UK. they showed a bunch of 240, mostly hb's and kouki's, bmw's, porche's and alfa's. it seems like its just satrting there judging by the size of the crowed. how is the drift/auto-x scene in UK? ne1 know?

drifting in the UK is about where Drifting in America was 8 months ago. they have a monthly "drift day" type of practice event, on real circuits, not in parling lots or on ovals. theyve also had a D1 event there, though it wasnt a competition round.

btw, that episode came out almost a year ago... I downloaded it in march, and it was old then. jsut takes speed forever and a day to get new episodes.
