I was going crazy I missed this last year, so this year I made sure my weekend was free to trek up to the AE86 track day. It had been raining all week and was looking bad, which is typical in Ireland. Somehow the rain decided to take a break only for that Saturday and mother nature even showed us a bit of sunlight which is always a treat.
Gotta say I love this car, have been keeping an eye out for it for a while now over on DriftIreland, and Dara has put a serious amount of work into it. Matt from SuperFortress did a good job on these photos also.
The weather had managed to hold off, all it needed to do now was stay dry for just another couple of hours and everything would work for the better. The clouds were getting darker and it looked like mother nature was going against everyone but then Aaron came out blasting the Foo fighters and everything seemed to be just fine!
Yup, its about that time. Where we go lurk the car park of another car show to see what the people are driving. Its always a good insight into the scene itself to see what people are driving, and usually you will find something good or something very bad. Check it out.
Holy shit there is even a k11 RWDmicra and what it looks like, a RWD EG in this video, its fucking insane. Enjoy!
What a cool video of the most epic KE70’s ever, these guys are definitely having a good time, and seem to be very handy behind the wheel of these KE’s. Im sure you have all heard of Motorfix by now. If not enjoy..
As we arrived down at 9 the fog was not moving . Behind the mist we could see the faint sun . The drivers were called up to the briefing and as they were finished the sun had brunt all the fog away . There are not many days were you can say you have worn a t-shirt in Mondello , as some say its one of the coldest places in Ireland but today was going to be a hot one.The day was as the title suggests about practice and anyone can do it .

Check this amazing KE70. Ken Nomura, Daijiro Inada and Manabu Suzuki decide to get in for a spin as it starts to snow out. Everything about this KE is amazing The colour, the stance, right down to the Longchamps XR4’s. I would give anything to have one.
Some day maybe….
Stole this from garagehachi’s blog, too good not to post. That KE70 wagon is fucking so good!
Another round of Prodrift, and another Irish car show where mother nature was good to us. I have to give a big shout to Simon Connaughton for hooking me up with images of the final 16. We ended up getting in a crash the night before Prodrift and decided to be cool and stay up buzzing from what happened and drove to Dublin. What a bad choice, as soon as the ” adrenaline” and monster (thank fuck for that but only sometimes because you will piss green) we collapsed and the stiffness settled in. All good fun.. Sort of.
Another Irish car event. Another round of prodrift, and another round of car watching. The reason we do this is to show whats going on in the car scene in Ireland from the normal point of view. To see what the people drive. This time there wasnt as much cars in the car parks, or maybe we missed a car park, city west was in sections so it was weird to get around and stuff. Nonetheless, here is another installment of carpark watch.
I’m glad the paddock section went down well. I figured that there were too many snaps but I guess you can never have too much. This year the course had been made shorter due to some new buildings but this certainly didn’t spoil the entertainment.
