Time has moved on and unfortunately, it moved on too fast for the Sil-V8 to make it to Round 1 of the British Drift Championship.
What an incredible start to Round 1 for this season in Prodrift.It is true to say we have some world class talented drivers living in this country and going by the quality of Semi Pro’s and Amateurs coming up the ranks things can only get so much better.
A bright,crisp Saturday morning saw Ennis mart full to the brim with a splendid array of both new and older model revamped cars.All ready to go into battle for their place on the winners podium in round 1.
When I first set eyes upon this machine, I was instantly hooked. The aggressive styling blended with gleaming paintwork is a testiment to the work that has gone into creating this iconic car. This is by no means a concourse winner, this is driven in anger at every opportunity.
“How does that look?” asks Jim, a 26 year old engine builder from Spalding. “Just fine” I reply as i begin taking photos of his 300bhp Skyline R33 GTST.

As Round 1 of the Irish Motocross Championship in Downpatrick,Co.Down will be taking place this Saturday all thoughts are on who is going to win . Many great well known riders will be racing this weekend but who I think everybody should keep an eye out for is H3F Images featured rider Jamie O’ Keeffe. As this his is first year racing adults and no youth racing at all he is getting ready to be as fit and prepared as much as he possibly can. Jamie has countless amounts of races and championships under his belt in the youth championship and now its his chance to make it big in the adults. He should ride well in Downpatrick if he keeps his head down and focuses on the race ahead of him. Throughout the year I will be working with him to make plenty of videos to show his skill, his determination and his pure crazy corner speed. Expect big things from this talented rider.

Today I had the pleasure of helping some friends work on their R33 Skylines.
After a year locked up in its garage, the Sil-V8 is once again going to make an appearance.
