random 2008 photos

after an amazing trip to norway we headed to the good old U S of A to find sum hot weather cheap beer and sick rivers, after a week of hanging out in Coloma working on the tan an picking honza up from the airport we did the all night driving mission to Hood River Oregon for the gorge games. Waking early in the morning after a bad sleep on the side of the road we headed into town but sam didnt fill up with gas an we ran out, so with help from the freindly locals to the gas station we got into town. Later that day we hit up the Little White Salmon which is 1 of the sweetest runs ever, but i came off second best on Spirit Falls with one huge black eye the day before the race. Raceing in the head to head was a little hard only being able to see out of 1 eye but i cant complain with 3rd

NZ Drift round 4

On the 11 october i headed down to Taupo with tom and his girl freind for the 4th round of the still vodka nz drift series and dan had been waiting there for a few hours after a long night on the beers and a big drive to taupo with all my tyres for sunday. we checked in to our motel and headed into town for tea after a good feed at breakers. After a good night sleep it was time to get mc ds and head for the track, with all the paper work out of the way and 1st practice ready to start i was getting a bit nerves cos i hadnt driven my car for at least 4 months.
Every thing went well and i couldnt beleave how easy an nice the car was to drive with the new set up.

2nd practice was good but i was trying to push it abit harder and changing my line and had a few spins but all good.


qualifying, i just went out to try and be consistant which i was with 3 good clean runs 78.1, 79, 81, with no real mistakes but wasnt really going hard enough. but all good an had so much!!!!

then got to go out for a thrash at the end an scare the hell out of rach, she loved it!!!!!
