Sorry to see you stop drifting the 360, but I can understand. A dutch guy does drive with the proff class in Holland, with a 360 b230 turbo. Maybe look for a car transport? You doesn't have to pay the insurance. However, its your own choice.

I still want to go for competition drifting, but it will take a while before its that far...

Grtz,

Got the mag on wednesday because I subscribe. Congrats Ali mate, was a good article and you must be pleased. I kinda like how even PPC look down on 300s, calling them OAP carriers.

Crap photos I know, but it's a good mag anyway so everyone buy it.

i would subscribe as it would make sense but i keep moving house so it sort of doesnt make sense.

i may get my mummy to buy me a subsciption for Xmas :oops:

i love the mag and the guy Toby Unna with the e30 M30 turbo iws on my e30 forum which adds to the fun. he has been very useful with my m30 conversion.



pics look good man and thats a big article :D but now will the price of 300's go up as more peopel realise they can be used as a drift car?

Prices started going up ages ago when Nev first bought one as a drift car ;) Me and another member on here used to out penny starting bids on 300's on ebay, and on a few occasions it looked tight for me to have to go and make room, and I know Hugh got at least one car that way!

Ali, looks awesome mate, I'll try and get hold of one!

It is nice to think that its just drifting that has upped the value of 300's but most old cars are now fetching more and that is because of scrap value. Only a few years ago scrap iron was down at about £5 per ton now its over £80

Wow, ok, didn't realise that. Now you mention it, it was harder finding a £100 shed for the autotest the other day.

I've ordered my copy from my freindly local new agent. I prefer to use the small shops where I can as they need the support and the service is much better.

I'm looking forward to the read
