Movie: Drift GT-R

Check out this Japanese movie entitled Drift GT-R that was released in 2008. Basically the storyline is like this:-

Ren, a young street racer has just defeated a red RPS13 on the mountain pass. A moment later, he found that the tires of his BNR32 were stolen by a local tyre and car parts stealing gang! Miyu, the daughter of the gang’s boss challenged Ren to a race. However, Miyu asked him for a favour after she lost the race. Now Ren have to challenge three cars on the touge, 2 RPS13 and the FD3S belonging to the gang leader. What would be the outcome? Watch it to know. :P

Yes, corny storyline but what the hell, I'm just watching the show for the cars! Tyres and car parts stealing gang? Geez!!! LOL :D

Directed by Kichitaro Negishi, it's a pretty short film of just 1:13:29. Stars include unknown people like Taiyo Sugiura, Kazuya Kimura and Mizuho. Acting is pretty dodgy and at parts can be a pretty repetitive. You have been warned. Oh and the lead actor looked like a girl to me. LOL :D

ER34 Cop Car Dorifto

Check out this 4Dr ER34 Japanese Police Car. Cop car can drift too. Don't you dare run away!!!

This reminds me of this blog post where I found a halfcut of the ER34 Police Car. Hmmm.....could it be this car in this video? Hahaha

The drifter in me does not exist....

Well, today was feeling kinda below the wind (upset la), thus while driving decided to do something to bring a grin to my face (read as stupid). While approaching a sharp u-turn, I turned off the TCS (traction control system) and did a flick into the corner.

The tail swung out wildly and I'm oversteering to the curb on the left side of the road. Countered the steering and now I'm heading to the right curb. Basically, the car went from left to right to left to right and back to the left again before it manages to finally go straight. My heart beat goes to like 100 beats per minute during that time, a little longer and I just might have a cardiac arrest. :P

The above is called Choku-Dori (yes it's Japanese) which is a slow side-to-side feint like drift where the rear end sways back and forth down a straight road. In my head, I was already begging the almighty to save this poor soul's ride from suffering a broken bumper, a dent rim and a possible dent suspension arm. :O

Thank god I did not hit anything and the car 'escaped' unscratched. Phew......what a relief.

*wipes off cold sweat*

After that, needed some calming. Pop in my Fish Leong CD for some good tunes for the rest of the journey home. :P

Drifting? Nah, maybe not for me. Or I just plainly suck at it. Hahahaha
