So I can complete the crazy similarity going on here.

And in other news… I am… the Burger King.

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.

Found this old picture coming back from St. Louis in 2007. Good times.

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.

Andy Sapp — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 06:51:00 +0000

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…
