I started drifting in August 2004 when I bought my first rear wheel drive sports car. This was a Nissan 200sx S13 and I instantly caught the bug. During 2005 I started attending the first drift display sessions at Santa pod. Drifting to entertain the crowds at shows such as Japshow, Redline Rumble, BMW Show etc.
As my ability progressed, so did my knowledge of Japanese Tuning and my car followed suit. I purchased a Nissan 200sx S14 off Charlie at Bridgegate motors in Godstone. I then extensively modified this vehicle over the next few years into what ended up as my White Driftworks S14.5.
The majority of my driving is been on the UK and Europe’s display circuit. Attending and driving at events such as Japfest 1 and 2 (2006/2007) all major Santa pod events across 2006/2007. Trax 2006. Mechlin International Motorshow, Belgium – for the European Drift Championship’s European Launch. Zolder and Venray shows in Holland, this is just naming a few.
In 2007 my hectic work/display schedule allowed me to enter some competition’s both in the UK and Holland. I entered Eurodrift round two at Teesside Autodrome and finished in 5th place after crashing out while twin drifting against the event winner and eventual 2007 Eurodrift champion, James Hudson. I also entered events at the Zolder Fast and the Furious Three Launch in Holland and competed in the BENLUX (now the Xtreme Drift Series) 2006 final at Venray.
2008 is looking to be a very exciting year, with a new (and massively unique) car being built – new sponsors on board and some impressive achievements yet to be announced.
Look forward to seeing you out there!

Nissan S15 Spec R
Technical Specifications
Year : 2001
Engine : VH45DETT
In the process of being built.
The vehicle is currently undergoing it''s chassis preperation at RS Fabrications in Banbury and is a bare shell build. It will be running a 4.5ltr Alloy Block V8 engine, custom modified and twin turbo charged. Once finished, the car should push 800hp and 750ftlb''s of torque, breaking the 200mph barrier.
This should make it one of the most powerfull drift car in the UK, if not the world.
I will be using this car in the second half of 2008 and 2009
