          Great video Ferd, and nice way to match one of my favorite tunes with one of my favorite pastimes.

          Nice work!

                  Yeah I have a bunch of friends that went to Sno*drift this year, seen multiple pics of that car there. I saw them at LSPR a year and a half ago.

                  Edit: Check out this video, E30 at about 2:00. Almost taps someone else sliding into a corner.

                      mine is starting off as a rallyX car, but in the next few years I'd like to build it up enough to do some NASA rally. But it's an e30, and it will be getting dirty come march....

                      I also put star specs on the street wheels, and will likely do some trackday in it as well. Though it is really slow, and has really tall suspension....

                          The only car that made it clean there was the 0 car, and he was on studs.
                          I only counted 5 drivers that did a decent job taking that corner, and most of them used the snow bank as a brake.
                          I'd love to drive the 0 car for rally. cheater studs FTW!

                              I'm running Gislaved Nord Frosts (aka General Altimax Arctics in the US).

                              I'd rather have some rally tires, but I blew my tire budget for this car on some Star Specs for the euroweaves, so I could autocross it too :)

                                I miss being in MI for Sno*Drift. I haven't made it to a stage rally since I moved to NC. One year I ran a Toyota Matrix at LSPR and Sno*Drift.
