That's funny I just read that in the TBT a few minutes ago. Pretty cool, I wish I could go to Japan just to learn about drifting. I wonder what her preferred car is. She's probably sick of John's old motorcoaches.

 

the article says she and her son rebuilt a 240sx for racing

 

Wow the media makes me cringe sometimes..

"The difference between driving and drifting through a turn is dramatic. When a car on a highway approaches a sharp left turn at, say, 75 mph, the driver slows down and turns the wheel to the left.
"But that's not what happens in drifting," said Justin Gardiner, a British journalist who covers the auto industry from Japan and has drifted numerous times. First, a drifter must have a powerful rear-wheel-drive car, something like a Corvette."


"She and Jack then rebuilt a Nissan 240SX, installing a tricked-out engine and other parts conducive to drifting (the car is not street-legal)."

I winced in agony at "tricked-out engine".

 

You go girl

 

I had heard about her being into cars, That is pretty cool.

 

Wow, I was waiting for the actual story, like "McCain fishtailed her Bentley into a pole while driving intoxicated". Last thing I expected to read was that she is literally into drifting.

 

LOL ^
