Here they are! (at last, I hear some of you say....)

As usual, just email me if you'd like a print (or mousemat, mug, etc) of your P&J in action: A4 £10 & A3 £15. When you order your print I'll mail through a high-res jpg for you to use as wallpaper too.

hehe Drifting was all done at the end of the day, photo's already in the bag by then. Worked out with the queue of people I had I must have done over 15 runs, the tyres stood up to the abuse surprisingly well

Just wish someone had got a decent snap of me smoking sideways evilhehe

Every credit, you are, as they say, "da man."

It is simply unfair the manner in which you hold a 45 degree powerslide and the Needellic period of it's sustain.

How, the f@ck, you don't crash, remains a sublime mystery.

Man man Reggie's got a 3.0 Z4 turning up very shortly, perhaps you could learn him the necessaries at a future event?

I thankyou very much! I'd be glad to try and impart Reggie of the requisite skills (hoping he's gone for the coupe). I suspect your 993 would be perfectly capable of 'significant' angles of attack whilst remaining recoverable (albeit somewhat trickier than the Beemer). In fact next time, why not bring the king of drift machines (aka M5) and indulge in a slice of smoked rear tyres too? idea

Thanks! I'm afraid I dont, I've posted everything I took. I do try to get everything, I suspect I probably took a couple of the other M5 and thought 'got that now' I could paste your numberplate onto it?

That reminds me - I meant to ask you at the time but forgot - you did me a lovely shot of my car last year @ VMax 7... I don't suppose you still have the high-res file I could get hold of?

Alfa_GTV_V6_red_DSC_0126.jpg was the filename of the version you posted in the forums.

Cheers,

Pete

Hi Steve, Z4 Roadster will be the Mrs new toy after she spectacularly spun her S2000 720 degrees. Decided she needed traction control and found a Z4! I would love to learn from the driftmeister, but don't think I'll get near it for some months. Don't know if DeR mentioned, I've got as 335d coupe on order - now that should be fun with 580Nm on tap. I'm still practising my photography skills with the EOS 20D, but once again you have demonstrated the gift of a good eye in these photo's - fantastic. Hope to see you at a future vmax for more top tips
