I posted about that awhile back 😛  
He has a WRX now, we talked cameras for a bit, talked cars for a bit. He said he misses RWD, and that the new WRX is too soft.

chasing girls or drifting (back in the 00’ era), that’s a pretty hard choice.

but hey, at least i got a good taste of the scene 🙂

The day after DX1 I started looking for a 240, 6 months later bought a black S14 and still got it.

What I loved about that event was how close you could get to the drifting. No sitting way back in the stands. You could stand pretty much at the curb with the Signal cars getting as close as possible. I remember leaving I was just filthy from all the smoke, dirt, rubber.
