A couple of years ago I took a course to get a racing/drifting license, just for fun. After the practical part of it I was hooked. What a fantastic feeling of freedom, to be able to drive as fast as you want, with only a minimum of rules involved!

Freeeeeeedom!

I had to get a car, and found a Nissan Silvia S14 with a clean SR20DET. My friends and me did some changes and it worked more than good enough for an amateur. After starting with drifting I also came to understand just how much beating a car actually can take.

Opooops... A little too eager, but the car still worked just as fine afterwards.

Unfortunately my drifting career ended a lot earlier than I had wanted it to. The doctors found some junk on my spine, and that was it. No risky activities that can cause hard bumps to my body from now on. Boring...
