During the week-long Holiday celebrations, I had a chance to reminisce with my siblings and cousins of the silly things we used to do when we were young. The unforgettable moments that we laugh at till today. That gave me the idea for today’s  Nostalgic Wednesday.

Here are some videos I found of the drifting scene in Japan early 90s. Back then, as we set our time to when there was less competition, less hype, it was all about the hobby, it was all about just going out and having fun with friends who share a common interest.

I love how the background music perfectly exemplifies  the mood of each video.

Please excuse the video quality, they have been transfered from a VHS copy. (lol)

This shows that not all Japanese drivers can drift as soon as they get their license. Most of the well known drifters started somewhere, they spun a lot of times before mastering the corners. A perfect example of practice makes perfect. And as we reach our prime, we look back on to those days and realize how far we’ve gone, the feeling of achievement.
