Big events have held up by blog updates as my attentions were turned to my big day. Without the unwavering support from my now wife Ruth I wouldn’t be able to persue my drifting passion like I have done, and we got married a few weeks ago. For obvious reasons I subsequently missed the second round of the EDC at Knockhill, and was pondering an offer to attend the Paddy Rally event at Mondello.
The Paddy Rally event was a supercar owners track day at Mondello and after party at the Cultra Inn; I had been kindly invited to do drift demonstrations at lunchtime along with Mark ‘Buff’ Luney but I was only home a few days from honeymoon so prep time was non-existant! I decided at the last minute I could do it and made the trip to Mondello really not knowing what to expect. I was in for a treat…
I had arrived about 10.30am at Mondello to fairly empty pits, and soon after I was greeted by a jaw dropping selection of supercars including Lamborghinis, Porsche 911s, Nissan GTRs (I love them), a Honda NSX, Lotus Elises, an Aston and a TVR in there as well. Toys for the boys – or the girls, who were in an orange Lambo Diablo!
Spot me below if you can – somewhere behind Cool FM’s Pete Snodden! You might also notice the back of Plum Tyndall in the pic – he was there with the whole RPM crew who were filming the entire event for a special RPM show due to air in late July 2010. Also at the event was Mr Paparazzi - I took his associate out during the first drift demo and he was glad to get out at the end of it!
My second drift demo run of the day was with familiar looking gentlemen – none other than Britain’s Got Talent’s Stavros Flatley! Dimitri absolutely loved the drifting after his run with me and was raving about it all day.
The rest of the day was spent mingling with the other drivers who were there for the track day before heading back North to the Cultra Inn for a great after party.
