The recent DriftSouth Teretonga round was held the Sunday just been.  Sadly there was very little retro content, I expected to see a few E7′s getting thrashed.   It was not to be, the only older car there was an AE85 with 3SGE engine conversion, it did perform very well though finishing in 3rd place, I believe.

This shit is never-ending and we haven’t even got around to Saturday yet. I am almost glad for all of our sake that I had to work on the Sunday and so didn’t make it to event then, otherwise I would probably have several months of photographs to have to go through. I’ve already skipped a million of the damn things. I digress, photographs of motor-sport is what we’re here for so let’s get this show on the road!

Real.
