Good morning readers and welcome to my trip to portugal to be part of the kd drift championship. Where the best of europe come together for a massive 2 day attack on the classic lousada race circuit. Situated right in the centre of the town.
This is my second visit here and after a 2011 upgrade on equipment and some better knowledge on technique I'm more confident and prepared this time with the Nikon D40.

So after a 9 hour travel from manchester to liverpool and then off to portugal. the biggest risk I took was to hop into a local porto taxi and sit back as the 50+ year old guy drove like a hero doing 100mph. (Note to self get another 90's merc haha).
On arrival to the hotel (which bear in mind was a challenge as the taxi driver had no english and I knew sod all portugese). I was recognised by the reception girl which was nice. Who informed me that she'd also seen other people from last year who had just left the hotel 5mins ago. After settling in and watching what can only be described as a fat camp reality show I ventured down to the local in a blind hope of seeing the other guys and I was happy to hear the cockney chav slang from local burberrun ken 'jungle power' wingate, as he sparks up another fag and drinks what I was told was his 6th red bull + vodka. So a few drinks later and a 2am passout, that finishes day 1.

Oh and to see the cars parked outside the hotel is one hell of a sight. Especially with the southern european background. WOW!
