It was awesome having you over this side of the world; delighted you got to taste a quintessential Irish drift day paired with the weather, be great to have you back again 🍻
Those Micras were everywhere back in the day, I used to have one for 7 years, dirt cheap to run and bulletproof. Changed the water pump in the driveway and the pump was like 37 euros. Great fun.
It's cars like this that we look back to with a big smile :) my family has this beater Toyota Corolla that out lasted every other car we've owned. Up to today can't get rid of it
Unfortunately Literally 48hrs ago, Drift Games just had a massive fire and lost EVERYTHING. Soooo Sad! So many sick cars and builds along with mercy, computers, and years of coverage. Support them if possible.
I will never forget asking you where the release button was on my helmet and you saying its the red one then saying im telling him that as if he can see it. gave me a good laugh.
I love how this accurately portrays the state of Ireland. Some awesome people doing amazing stuff with cars and motorsports, but also all janky and archaic crap everywhere because everything costs a fortune to buy and run. Driving right into the centre of the capital city because our public transport is kinda shit and our city centres are half dead. We only have one racetrack in the country and the weather's too bad to use it most of the time. And Ireland is still one of the best damn places in the world to live in spite of it all 😂
The micra was the unsung hero in this video, many many a driver started in a micra in Ireland and to have one that's a 95 shows they go forever fantastic everyday hero of a car 👌🇮🇪
Micras and starlets/turbos🫢 cough starlets 1.3na made everyone go mad for a rwd turbo back in the day when we could afford to insure one, now its affording and insurance
Oh the insurance is beyond wild. For new drivers, you can expect at least 2000 euro in premiums. Even with 3 years experience, zero claims, I'm still having to pay 900 euro a year.
Alot of Irish people live in the countryside and drive single track back roads everyday since we were kids, aswell Tarmac rallying is our National Motorsport like v8 supercars in Australia or nascar in America is our Tarmac rally Championship. 💯🤙👌
Absolutely savage video man. Great representation of the place. The fella with the micra is spot on. Many younger lads starting cant get insured on anything bigger than 1.4L petrol or 2L diesel for the first 3/5 years. Have to be 25 to drive a car 25 years or older too. If you come back, come to Cork! Not many tracks but a good few meets. Also, two side notes. 1. The 10k that fella was talking about for the plates in the pits, scales based on the cars value when importing her. 2. I wish the 350z was our budget option! Lots of 3 series's, is200's & A4's for most fellas.
@@shona5512 ah sure I'm from Sligo, parents are dubs, studied in carlow and I'm in Cork. There's definitely many ways you can split accents extremely locally, but there's also wider regional styles
We walked by the temple bar pub yesterday, full of tourists and we laughed at the thought of them being ripped off for a tenner a pint, it's like the least irish bar there is because they peddle the paddywhackery to the poor tourists. Sorry to see you got roped into the place
Pubs are nice in Ireland, didn't get to see any drifting when I visited but definitely had my fair share of pints with mates lol. Also got to experience the authentic weathers.
When (okay, IF) I grow up I want a shed like that, with storefronts and what not. I already knew that before watching this video, but it's nice to see other examples of it for inspiration! Suppose you'll be back for a Juicebox BBQ some day, or hope so! Maybe Neil will have his 86 ready by then too :D
