    my Co-worker has basically lived out of his parents home for years and does not pay rent to afford the payments on his Z4M so I'm guessing many of these guys have made some "interesting" life choices to be able to have these cars. Also I'd say a fair few are shop owners cars so it helps to promote their services.

    But on topic really that red NB is amazing.

    A cars that did catch my eye. The first were the flared E90's on what looked like cheap Ebay flares not sure I liked how they look IMO with BMW's you cant really pull off that bolt on racer look without really going all the way and making it a road racer or a track toy. The early mini looked awesome so nice to see them not forgotten.

    Yes, they had them last year also. Pretty cool but those things are expensive iirc.

    I went and it was pretty good. Some of those heavily "stanced/modded" cars on bags and stuff are sponsored or company cars, the others I don't know how those people afford it. This years show was definitely a lot better and way more organized than last years. Any of those three miatas belong to anyone here by the way?

    Back in the day (before the drift scene) you would just take the rubber tires off the R/C car and boom, instant drift car. LOL

    Me and my brother had all wheel drive RC cars. We glued PVC pipe of the correct diameter to the wheels. We then proceeded to become grounded by my mother for drifting them in our kitchen.

    Did you and your brother use your lift to take off the tires?
