The fear of 13

One of the newest drivers of the team happens to be the one who makes the most impact, and in more ways than one as you'll see the further you read, the driver in question is Ian Williams otherly known as foot...before drifting Ian was taking part in Time Attack with his Mitsubishi EVO IV, but caught the bug and so evolved not only a new NightWalker...but also a now familiar S13.

For those outside of Wales you may recognise the car from Round 3 of the British Drift Championship, but for me the main memory of this car will be the first time it was used at a drift event, completely standard CA18DET but driven so hard a 309bhp BMW M3 could not get the prefacelift 13 out of it's rear view mirror.

Well on the "Making an impact" comment earlier, during a recent visit to Santa Pod Ian had a bit of bad luck, after nailing the track all day and the car not missing a beat, the luck of the Welsh proved to be non existent in the sense of the car doing 90mph in 4th, down into 3rd and shift lock and then hitting a pot hole, sending the car in the opposite direction and into one of the 1.5 - 2 ton concrete blocks, which got knocked back a good few feet, when talking to foot his comment was "I didn't event have time to say OH F**K, i only got to OH FU", some photos now to finish off...
