I received an email from the peanut butter connoisseur, Will Roegge, which contained a photo of the newly wrapped KeepDriftingFun VW Westy. And well, it looks just amazing doesn't it?

I'm currently sitting at the desk of one Julian Smith from Garage D, who has kindly given me his office to get you guys up to date with the first round of the JDM allstars series that happened this weekend in Manchester, UK.

A version of the Hankook drift Camaro is also in the works. I can't wait to see
Got an email this morning from Efrain Arias of Boostiao.com in the Dominican Republic. To celebrate the opening of the first drift-only track in the Latin America, Formula D drivers Calvin Wan and Casper Canul shipped their cars out to help break in the new course.

Wait, a four-door drift car project that doesn't have a Toyota or Nissan badge on it? That's right. This E36 3-series BMW is being built by Swedish drifter Mikael Svensson for use in the Nordic Drifting Series.
