Like many of you I just got hooked years ago when I was introduced to the whole drifting scene whilst working in Germany of all places by two Canadians. Then upon returning home to Ireland I found a very small scene literally on my doorstep. Since then its been like an addiction. I have been been involved with friends and friends cars for ages and currently building my own car which by the time it hits the track, drift cars will be powered by water (or so I have been informed!), so in the mean time to fuel the addiction it will be drift blogging and hopefully making more friends along the way.

These are pictures from last friday from Goran in Japan, I got an email from Andreas (Raidopower Motorsport team boss) today and he said the guys have been doing nothing for the last 3 days only sleeping and drifting!

The Art and Soul of BDC

Stephen Brooks last video for BDC

“This is my last film covering the British Drift Championship , shot throughout the 2010 season I hope it portrays just how special this series is. I’d like to say thanks to Paul McCallum and Mark Buckle for allowing me to shoot the championship over the past couple of years and giving me complete creative freedom to do what I wanted. I’d also like to thank all the drivers / crew / and supporters .. you make it what it is.  Some of these shots were provided by Al Clark from Trackday Films who covered the final round of the championship up in Knockhill. Thanks man :) ”…Awesome stuff!!!


Project Mazota

Before I get got onto the sound deadening task I had a slightly bigger job on hand. Each time I was going to work on the car I was finding it tricky to get access to many parts of the car especially underneath and the arches. It was time for a mini project…project build a shell spit! Again like many parts of this project it was on to the interent…after a hour or two of jamming on the keyboard I had it narrowed down to about 3 designs. (more…)


The Deane Family in WorksMag

Great article on the Deanes in this months edition of WorksMag. Big thanks to SleepyCat (Colin and Glenda) for putting me in touch with the WorksMag crew for a few pics. Article starts on page 72 and I have a few pics of the lads on pages 80-81 and 82-83 which was cool. I am guessing that Martin Cunningham supplied the rest of the pictures and that Fuzzy (Paul McCarthy) did the interview, excellent job guys. (more…)

Prodrift Mondello 2010 Saturday

Round 4 of the Prodrift Irish series was an interesting event with the return of both Damien Mulvey and Eric O’Sullivan to the scene.

Project Mazota

Ok so now everything is out of the car and either in boxes or sitting on the floor. Kinda weird looking at it all and am hoping the majority of it wont be making it back onto the car! I now realize what a pain in the ass it is to work on the car when its sitting on the ground on the mini spares. Everything is just awkward grrrrr. (more…)

Project Mazota

Its mad when you start tearing down or stripping a car the amount of little niggly parts and components that need to be removed. I keep thinking to myself jeez should I be marking this or labelling that etc. The tendency is to go ‘nah’ sure I wont be using that again, dont need that etc etc. (more…)
