Drifting: V8 power in action

Had a full plate over the weekend. Ample servings of auto-related activities were generously dispersed.

I was told about a car stereo clash at Hott Wheels in Portmore, so we rolled through. A different but unique experience it was and entertainment was never in short supply. It will be marked on the events list. I was told it is an every Saturday link up so I will definitely be a regular patron!

Sunday brought its own menu of motorsports cuisine. A notorious battlefield was revitalized and the masses came for their fix. The circuit was packed like a slave ship! Details of the drag-fest may be forthcoming, but I am not making a promise.

Continuing my V8 theme, Dai won the 2011 Formula D championship and the fact that his machine is cranking V8 power augers well for the continuation of the growth of the V8 phenomena. Other heavyweights on the grid use American muscle and their machines, even when they are parked, scream agressive stance and rumble with inherent potency when they come alive.

It should be clear by now that I enjoy the ‘healthy’ sounds of a V8!
