bump this thread back to life

 

haha, soon to be fc driver here.
i've waited soooo long.
but finally i have one.
just got to bring it back to life.
colorado has great mountain roads but the city roads are horrid.
pot holes, random holes sometimes 3 feet wide!
i think it may mostly but up north by denver, but it makes driving even normal family cars annoying.
the weather changes so fast here its nuts.
but yeah, touge's fun.
city, not.

 

well since it is winter/wet season....not a whole lot of touge runs go on. usually in my touge i run into wet and dry spots so it gets hard to get everyone out (everyone usually goes to drift the touge and its hard with wet and dry spots) that and it gets icy if its not raining. but two weekends ago it was dry enough and we had a good group driving up and there was a new comer to our group who drove an alteza (is 300). anyways he was telling me how he drifted the drift turn once and was getting used to it in the touge. well with my friend mark tearing the drift turn up with only parking lights on. the alteza guy wanted to rep so he tried with just fog lights on and his first attempt with only fogs on he got the oversteer he wanted and then all the sudden.....under steer and he just slid straight with his car sideways. so passenger side going face first into the wall. when this all happened everyone cringed until he hit and everyone said..."ohh...ouch" so we check it out and his cars front passenger side was crushed into his wheel well.....

long story short....dong get cocky on the touge especially if your new to it, you'll ef up your car.

 

Or even if you do know and try it in bad weather.

 

well that is what happens when you watch too much initial D. but that is more like common sence. to bad i dont have any stories to tell. it really sucks living in florida!

 

 

wow that looks like a hell'ova lot of fun
nice action shot too

 

Here are 4 short bad quality no audio videos from the mountain run I did back before I crashed the TII. (also when I was a dumbass who drove with one hand on the wheel)

Lamest road in CO

 

haha exactly... i know i aint drifting in the touge...main reason. i find it challenging keeping up with my friends gripping...no way in hell im gonna be able to drift like them on the touge haha

 

Them pics are awsome !

 

Ha, I have no intentions of drifting around here either.
I dont want to be a mad tyte drifter yo.

 

nice pics!

 

well for me it about being mad tyte lol i just drift for fun, and the touge spots around here are too full of locals coming home from bars to drift. let alone doing touge runs up and down hill twice. usually i do one run up and one run down and just chill on the beautiful mountain haha

 

i used to do a lot of touge driving, but haven't been doing it a lot lately. gonna start doing it again though. i never really take pics tho, but i have a cool one that i took right before an uphill run with my bro's FD up in front of me.
