Default NSW - Drift School

I've booked in for 22-01-08.

If you're interested, you need to get on to this link and book.
http://www.drivingsolutions.com.au/Drift%20School.htm

Limited places are available, so hurry. If we get enough numbers from the B-series crew, I'm happy to postpone.

Cost is $200.

I won't be waiting for March but by all means, if you get enough guys make a list for March. However, I have found that a list is useless with these things especially when people pull out all the time. People who are genuinely interested should book and pay. This way, you know it won't drag on until Feb 2032 before you have enough guys turn up.
So my suggestion is, if you want to include yourself on the list, book AND PAY up front!

I'll bring the Macca's trays! And Falc'mans right, a FWD can hold its own sideways in the wet.

well it was only a suggestion guys and you don't have to make 10-15 people...
it can be less...

if the general consenus is a no... then I'll cancel this booking and book myself in for Feb as well... just thought It might be cool to see all B series cars... or all Fords... ( i have a mate who's got a Zetec R Focus...) but can start a list and if the interest is there then we'll do it...


March Listing
1) TheGuardian01 - NA XR6
2) Ross - Zetec R Focus

LSD not a prerequisite as drifting will be conducted on skid pan to save tyres and diff gears...

Hmmmm ... this could be interesting.
OK ... the work ute isn't B-series ... but it's still could be fun.
No use bring the Territory ... the damn thing is AWD.

Trust me I have tried ... the AWD system in the Territory is too damn smart ... sticks like you know what to a blanket ... even when it's bucketing down with an inch of water on the road.

Now if it was a Turbo Territory ... that'd be much more fun. My problem is the stocker Territory doesn't have enough power for the weight.
