Martin, Axel, and Andy.
Our buddies from Germany, Martin (pictured left) and Axel (middle) came for an amazing visit! It was super-radical to meet these guys in person. I feel so incredibly lucky that drifting has introduced me to so many awesome people – these two dudes included!

Dear blogosphere. I own you. We own you. Prepare to meet your maker: (more…)
Drifting is blah, I’m all about fashion now.
Why hello there!
So I guess Andy Sapp wanted me to introduce myself and tell you all about our down-under adventures. Well we don’t have enough time for all of that so I’ll just do the introduction.
Here is the short run down.
Every DM member tends to call me Nenders from time to time, so you can call me Mr. Nenders.
Ever since 2000 I have been all about drifting and loved the style and tuning of the cars, now I’m all about fashion.
and on that note:
hater dan
whats up ya’ll(southern)
I’m haterdan I’ve been around the drifting community since the dawn of time or 2003 if you wanna get specific. I dont drive. I dont have a “drift car”. But I do love hating on the new kids and fan boy’s I’ll be the one bringing the hopers and dreamers back to reality.
I drive this:
I ride this:
so get ready for the awesome because its here.
hello, world
I’m not sure how this should go. Ok. So, driftMechaniks has a blog now. Sometimes I’ll post on it. I’m Panda.
Please excuse my lack of a shirt. And if you come visit the driftMechaniks HQ, feel free to stop by my office. Its the dark blue one on the right.
IT’S ABOUT TIME.
Overdue. That’s what you could call this site. It has been a long time coming. We haven’t had a ‘proper’ site since… well… 2004? Let’s take a quick look back for a second.
This is me and my best friend Hooman circa 1996.
Back then… Hooman was running this beast:
I drove this beast (RIP):
My follow-up attempt resulted in a car that was awesome for the time:
That’s right. CLEAR. TAILS.
Around this time, Hooman upgraded as well.
I sold my whip:
Because of this:
Hooman also upped the ante. He was the first in NY to get one.
Hooman and I wanted to start up a drift team… because at the time – there were no teams in Atlanta.
So we did.
We made some shirts.
They became cake-face magnets:
Even UUUUUCHI approved.
The rest… as they say… is HISTORY. Or at least worthy of another post.
TO BE CONTINUED…
