Frits 340L "84

Post by **Frits** » 26 May 2008 11:58 am

This week I'm gonna pickup a shitload of stickers. Again I got a few new sponsors. It's going awsome fast. I think I need a day to get it all on the car lol

8th June round 4, during Gofast event... Suspected number of people 25.000 who will be there.

This and next week exams for school.. So a few days before I still need to replace the radiator. It's gonna be a volvo 440 one probably.

There will be even more prodrifters this time, so its up to me to show what I can

well done! - I wish I was interested in a motorsport with sponsorship!

Post by **Frits** » 27 May 2008 10:54 pm

I'm rolled from rally into drifting. Also in rally there is a lot of sponsoring going on. Rally is awsome great, I think even more great than drifting. Drifting is reachable for beginners, especially when you have some driving skills, you can get up with some good known drivers. People easely help/sponsor you when they see you do it all by motivation.

In rally you can't get up with pro's, because of the money. But rally is still very going on in my head.. Once...?

Talking about Holland/Benelux

yeah, you can't get near proper stage rallying over here without bags full of money!

But you probably have more fun than the rich people who pays a ton for a day driving

and even destroy it

Just ask yourself what you want.

The hilarious thing over here is beating the guys with the stage prepped mk1/2 escorts that have cost loads. Last slalom I did I had people asking how much I wanted for Fake, as it was soo much faster than their XE engined 'scrot. All the gear, no idea. I prolly could have got a lot of money for her that day....

Frits, seriously, don't take away from what a great achievement you have managed here. To get sponsored in ANY sport is a big thing, it means you are among the best. Be proud dude, you deserve to be.

thats more a credit to your driving chris, you really know how to drive a standard 340 to get the best from it. (and I really mean it, though you have overcooked a couple ambitious maneuvers in your time

)

Excellent!! I've really enjoyed watching how you and your car have progressed, and seems that you're playing with the big spec cars now

Congratulate!

But why are you always driving on wet surface?

Post by **Frits** » 13 Jun 2008 11:41 am

The track owner(s) don't want rubber be left

Besides, its more lowbudget. You can drift 2 days on your tires and you don't need 175 bhb to finish top 5. Its all about driving skills

I see you've got the stickers now, looking good

I really like the thick 80's style 'pinstripe'. Not sure if it's to Steve's taste though
