Enthusiastic women declare their support for drifting

fragrance

Something I've noticed on recent reporting trips: there are lots of couples at track days! Of all the possible date spots, choosing a circuit shows how understanding these girlfriends are. Even in this heat, they look like angels filming and helping their boyfriends!

Questions for the women: nickname / occupation / usual hangouts / height / body measurements / boyfriend? / driving license? / car owned / favorite or desired car / favorite drifter / favorite celebrity / current interests .

From the editors: when she wanted to buy a car, she was actually looking for a Cefiro. But she found and bought a Laurel, then became a Laurel fan. She really visits circuits two or three times a month; perhaps she will soon make a name for herself in competitions. We look forward to it!

Seeing my friend Rie drift made me think, ‘Girls who drift are cool!’ So I decided to start. I got my license and bought an 180SX…

I'm going to…

…start drifting!

…and now plan to fit an LSD, coilovers and other modifications. Even before getting my license, I practiced in cars in the mountains [as described by the interviewee]. I can already do steady circles really well!

The 180SX is apparently a 1998 model! [Mileage/price sentence damaged.] Even so, it was inexpensive!

I used to ride motorcycles, but about six months ago I decided to take drifting seriously and bought a C33. Now I drive on the street at weekends and visit circuits two or three times a month, aiming to be like Toya . Say hello if you see me! I want more friends in drifting.

Hello! Summer is almost here. Summer means driving season! I love going for a drive around dawn. Cutting through the clean morning air feels wonderful. What music do you listen to while driving or drifting? I listen to B'z's ‘Craz…’ [song title truncated].

I'd like to know!

Once again… I did [fragmented text]
