    Well bored with my drift limo, so i built a 960 drift volvo to go with my drifting 260 GTO tribute car. Now bored with them, so i get a call, my buddy is crushing an Alfa romeo spider veloce. Some ones pride and joy, hit in the front and been stored for 17 years. Couldn't see it go out that way. So i bought it. Drifting alfa now on the works.

    Put a turbo on that 2-liter 4-cyl and you'll have the drift machine.

    Except for the unfortunate departure from the track it pretty much keeps anyone from passing.
