I've invented a new sport, THE OFFICE DRIFT. This is kind of based on the glass of water in the Fujiwara Tofu Shop AE86 in Initial D, combined with being without my car at varios occasions.

Objective: To do fancy footwork, side steps, and slides, all whilst carrying your hot cup of coffee back to your desk.

Rules: Yet to be defined, But spillage is frowned upon.

Scoring: As this is an artistic mpresion there will be two sets of scores, similar to the floor routine in gymnastics, for Artistic Impression, and Technical difficulty. These two scores are then graded against the level of the coffee in your cup. IE The fuller it is the higher you score.

There are bonus points sytems available also, these can include office drifting around the boss, carrying two cups, and just about anything.

Help me share this wonderful new sport to the world, make your next coffee break more interesting, do a big power over coming out of the kitchen ad keep it sideways all the way to your desk.

OFFICE DRIFT WHENEVER POSSIBLE AND POST YOUR STORY HERE!

I think the final setting was thursday night, two weeks ago. That was the last thing I can remember doing, and didn't even realise it at the time. But I can specifically remember making noises whilst doing a 360 through the door before offloading the drinks and performing a perfect park job on the couch...then ofcourse, this ended up leading to stumble the stairs and into the taxi :lol:

Huh! ... great idea Doc..

I have been office drifting for a week now (on and off as the confidence fluctuates), and today my manager caught me in a huge drift (Power over -- moved into a Fiento -- then onto a Sido)...

No, i didn't lose my job or get frowned apon by him... he actually challenged me to a drifting duel .... "we'll drift for pink slips he says" .. so i'm like whoaa! ... totally up for it ... then b4 i know it, he performes a massive drift in front of this presentation with all these parters in the next office and .. well, i just couldn't compete ... he had the guts to perform a power ower with opposite lock not once, not twice, but 4 times without spilling a drop or breaking a sweat!

bla bla .. lost my mug .. so any suggestions to the best style of mug for office drifting?? .. i need to beat this manager!

As I discovered the other day by mistake, a spray of Mister Sheen on your floorboards will add spice to your Home/Office Dooorifto session. There is now a frictionless section on the left hander from the kitchen into the dining room before you swing right to make it through the door to the living room and the grip of carpet. Get it wrong and it's straight into the lounge chair quickly followed by your toasted sanger and Milo. Get it right and you're a king! :D

or does when anyone else confront a crowd in a major shopping centre, you mock downshift, quicken your pace and weave your way thru the people, followed by a triumphant handbrake 180 when you get thru???

i do this all the time at parra westfields in the foodcourt on a thursday lunchtime, (close to uni) most of my friends think im nuts but they are starting to join in...

:uh-huh:

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
