A Soiree in the Hamptons.
Put down your croquet mallets, Make sure your slacks are pressed proper. Tuck your double-windsor beneath your sweater-vest, and join me for a toast. A toast to what may be the greatest soiree to ever grace a private racetrack… EVER. Never mind the posh locale and upscale attendees. Look past the dress-code and fashion-forward attitude displayed with arrogance. This members-only event rivals lavish country-club galas and exclusive Ivy-league reunion brunches.
This ‘drift’ video is my attempt to take a different approach by focusing on what makes events like these so special: the people.

Old Jump Motion.
I found this old animated jump sequence that Sir Brady Himself snapped back in March of ‘07. Jumps make everything rad. Go ahead. Try it.

Papers: Hidden Amidst Napalm
An amazing desktop snapped by Shawn Watson. At first… nobody noticed my e46 buried within the smoke billowing from Tyler Clayton’s super-stretched tyres. I can assure you… the view from my car was about as revealing. I could only see the very front corner of his turn signal. The rest was like driving behind a coal-burning freight train.
Desktop Papers available in the following sizes:
1920×1200 | 1440×900 | 1280×800 | 1024×640 | iPhone
IT’S ABOUT TIME.
Overdue. That’s what you could call this site. It has been a long time coming. We haven’t had a ‘proper’ site since… well… 2004? Let’s take a quick look back for a second.
This is me and my best friend Hooman circa 1996.
Back then… Hooman was running this beast:
I drove this beast (RIP):
My follow-up attempt resulted in a car that was awesome for the time:
That’s right. CLEAR. TAILS.
Around this time, Hooman upgraded as well.
I sold my whip:
Because of this:
Hooman also upped the ante. He was the first in NY to get one.
Hooman and I wanted to start up a drift team… because at the time – there were no teams in Atlanta.
So we did.
We made some shirts.
They became cake-face magnets:
Even UUUUUCHI approved.
The rest… as they say… is HISTORY. Or at least worthy of another post.
TO BE CONTINUED…
