Hahahaha... that's rad!

Those of you interested need to shoot me a PM by 6pm this evening. I need to figure out the logistics based on who's going. I have a general idea who's down - but I need to know for sure.

Werd up.

wow, just got back from the "Manji or Die", mucho fun, my paranoid ass only did two runs. Andy was tearing it up, as always! I also realized how hard the FC is to drift, I need some more practice.

Hahaha... yeah man! That was mad fun! A rad way to ring in the new year! My car was acting a li'l different with 245.45.18's in the front and three people in the car.

A VERY VERY SPECIAL THANKS to everyone who came out to spend New Years slideways!!! I didn't expect all of you to come out... but it really meant a lot to me that you guys all came out. It was awesome!!!

I still can't believe Tyler got the Impreza sideways and I missed it! I'm glad he corrected & countered out of it.

*Side note: Tire Flys RULE! I got laughed at by a Civic on the way home 'cause they were still on the car! Bwaaahahaha!

tonight was awesome although a little bit scary. i was right behind tyler. my heart dropped to the floorboard when i saw him go sideways. i know he's done it a million times in the honda but the scoob is different. i was even a little concerned about my own speed but thankfully angels were around. three of them actually, named "A", "W" and "D."

i had a temporary flashback to when i was 16 and only a week after i got my license. i was cutting up with a friend of mine and we came over a hill too fast. when i topped the hill all i saw was his truck sliding all over the place. when i saw him out of control i panicked like any 16 year old idiot would and slammed on the brakes. no abs in the pontiac. he wasn't in a suby either. it was more like a longbed F150. to make a long story short he shattered a rim on a curb and i had a blowout when i dropped my rear tire off the road. no serious damage though, except for my ego. tyler you are awesome for maintaining your composure. it's a true judge of skill. i'm glad tonight went as it did.

oh yeah, i apologize about the shit talking cody. halo (and vodka) does something to me. it turns me into a monster.

for what it's worth you had a nice slide before you headed out. to be honest i was paranoid as hell about the cops too. i think you missed both of my little powerslides.

and if i remember correctly i was the only one who did the firecracker! well it's really late and i'm tired and probably not making much sense. so happy new year's drift mechaniks! i look forward to an awesome year ahead. Manji or die 2005!

Yeah, happy new years. And it's manji or die Charlie! Get it straight.

it's cool charlie, it takes more than that to offend me

. but yea, i sorta wish i would've stayed around for a while longer but i'm also one of those paranoid people, and figured i'd ditch out quick. round 2 at wal-mart went pretty well too though, even though we didn't stay there very much longer. overall i had a blast thoguh, and hopefully that set us up for an awesome year of sliding

Andy, when should we be expecting the footage?

icantdrift · Post by **icantdrift** » Sat Jan 01, 2005 9:03 pm

now that i've read how great it was i'm even more pissed that i missed it

. i ended up going to the lamest new years eve party in the world and left at 12:01, went home and went to bed.

Hahaha... oh yeah - I forgot: the e46 is officially a drift car now. I may have hit part of a tree.

The damage is super minimal - just some scratches on the rear 1/4 panel/deck. They may even buff out - I have to scope them in the daylight.

I'll see what I can do. Since the lot had no light - the cameras couldn't focus. I knew the footage wouldn't fair too well... but there are a few decent shots.

Big big thanks to Charlie and Mike for manning the cameras!

No worries man! We'll rawk it out next year! Sorry to hear the ImportAtlanta/WhirlyBall party wasn't much fun. We definitely missed you out there!

Hahaha... it almost didn't happen. Trying to get a group of us anywhere on a time schedule is near impossible. We left DMHQ2 @ 11:50 (20 minutes after we planned to leave) - and were trying to get to an undisclosed locale approximately 15 minutes away. I had to make an executive decision at the last minute to head to a new spot that was closer. We ended up with like two minutes to spare, lol.
