I liked the industrial techno remix of Pink Floyd - Time!

Car was impressive, a good build.

It's not really a BMW any more, is it?

I had wondered how long it would be before people started making silhouette cars for drifting, maybe we'll see more variety than the ageing Japanese imports in the future.

Wow, alot of work to put in to a car thats not even for motorsport and is going to be doing donuts outside Maccy Ds.

it could prove to be a lot of serious fun

I wonder how fast it is. With a proper diff', longer ratios and a driver instead of a drifter it would have been awesome.

Engine swaps are very very common.

Usually its different nissan/toyota engines in jap cars but some of the more interesting ones I have seen are a BMW e36 with a s2000 engine, an opel manta with a lexus V8 and I know of an RX3 engined mark 1 escort rally car that is used for a bit of drifting, some interesting cars about for sure.
