So I suppose I should give you all a little backround info.
First time I was ever exposed to drifting or rwd in general was seeing my mates older brothers AE86 Corrolla leaving my school gates sideways after school one day (I think I was about 13). I always wondered how in American movies cars always slid around corners in the chases but I never saw it in Ireland! Then I asked my friend and he says (sher all di shit we hav iz dat front weel driuve bollox) yes im from Dublin but no I dont sound like that:)
Anyway that was it I simply typed rear wheel drive corrolla into the oul dial up and the rest is history. I am however one of those unfortunate chaps who couldnt afford a proper RWD car in school, or in college, but now I work ;)
Im currently working in the oil industry so spend 6 months out of the year where there are very few cars (at sea)(where I currently am:) but when I get back I plan on picking up my very first RWD car at the age of 23...how sad:'(
So everyone on here be my new friends because unlike most I am the ONLY one out of my group of mates now that even knows what RWD is which is an embarassment! My mates still ask if I have a concious when I talk about 2, 2.5 or 3 litre cars because of emissions and that (i did mention I work in the oil industry right:) so no I dont unfortunately:P
But thats getting off the point, Il be back in Ireland in a week and want to spend about 6000 on my first RWD car so if anyone is selling let me know! Il prob post a WANTED thread in the clasSified bit but just to give you inquisitive folk a heads up:)
(i do still have a soft spot for the 86 corrollas and truenos but will consider anything. once its japnese. pre 99. 6 cylinder(bar the AE86). and turbo (bar the AE86)
So there you have it! Nice to meet you all:) and im looking forward to any seeing any cars that may be for sale;P
