JDM AllStars Wembley 2010
The place ….. Wembley Stadium
The event ….. the JDM AllStars Drift series – round 4The scene is set.
For 2 days in late August the locals around London came to watch the 2 day specticle of a bunch of men skidding in their pants.I say that, but one of the skidders was just a boy …. of 13 (I kid[sic] you not).
I went along to see what was occurring ….. waved my golden ticket (aka my NUJ card) at an Oompa Loompa, donned my fluro jacket and chased the cars up and down the carpark like a 14yr old chav princess looking for a DSS handout.
Ok, not quite, but while I was there I took some shots of the action. Got some shots as well as totally drenched in a downpour … thank you Nikon engineers for creating cameras with better water sealing than a fish’s butthole.
Did a small accompanying video … 5 minutes of HD goodness. Grab a cuppa and a biccy and enjoy 🙂

The Gumball 3000 GRD Built Subaru STi Promotions Car
James Greenwood of Greenwood Racing Developments asked if I could take some pictures of a car that his tuning company built on Saturday just gone.
So I turned up at the GRD‘ workshop and I saw the Gumball 3000 Promotions car sitting in front of me.It turns out GRD built the Stage4 500+bhp Subaru (owned by Andrew Brimecome) that Gumball use for brand promotion
James wanted some pictures of the car for the GRD website, so he passed me the keys and disappeared.Andrew enters the Gumball 3000 in his 1250bhp Viper and lets them use his Subaru whenever they want.
It’s currently lined up to be at a trade show in September and he’s also giving it to them to use in next year’s Gumball. He thinks it may be the Jackass guys, but the celebrity has yet to be selectedAn hour after starting taking shots, Andrew turned up and after chatting for a bit he called some friends so I could do some rolling shots.
These are some of the edited images from the shoot:
