Volvo 340 in bdc!

Post by theo2468 » 07 Nov 2012 11:21 pm

Some of you may know but if not, danyellowlights? I think he's called on here has got his pro drift license this weekend in his 340!!! There's many pictures and videos of him on the internet! Real shit hot driver.
He's currently building his drift car for bdc next year, which will be Liam's 360 shell but running a 340 driveline and a 182 cup engine. Should be interesting to see what he can do! Sure he will do well. Would put some pics up of him drifting but I'm on my phone!

He's the white hatch! Gone on his Facebook there's plenty of picture of him drifting. Dan firmager a his name.
Go on YouTube and put in the legend of 340 and there's a video of him at lydden hill.
Or put in gymkhana trax 2012 and he's in that video. Worth a watch he's good!

When do you think the BDC events will have a date set? Also from a spectators point of view what do you think is the best track? :)
