12:17am. Tokyo.
Its early morning and the guys are all hanging out at the garage as they would any other day. And randoms… as usual, are knocking on the door to see if they can get in just as they do on any other day. Feroci is a member short (disco inferno) since last time something big went down… I guess the sexual favors that got her in stopped being so favorable... Although, to her credit, she'd have been of SOME use today for a few people today.
With one member gone, a space for a new member is open. Upon paying off the fine and selling the smoldering RX-7, petrol seems to have had a glut of money lying around.
It's expectable… even normal.
But noone would ever expect what was about to happen. A foreign sounding engine note draws everyone to the window. It’s noone other than diesel… And with a tuned Ferrari no less. Wait-what the bitch?! Ferrari?! Having a lot of money after selling a heavily modified legendary car is normal. But over 200K?! That’s just unheard of. Someone has most certainly been saving. Now that I mention it, he does look a little thinner. Guess he had to make spending cuts somewhere to save..
Everyone pours out of the garage to ogle the new car, and that draws the parking lot patrons over to the space right in front of the garage. …Everyone but zap. Once he sees he’s alone, zap decides to take this opportunity to stuff himself with those energy bars Dal has been hoarding while noone is in the room to stop him.
Once he finishes gorging, he waddles… err… wanders outside.
Upon reaching the doorway, the first thing he sees is diesel, the Ferrari's invisible to him. His eyes widen, and in a spurt of pure rage, he runs over, leaps over the Ferrari, and tackles diesel and starts throwing punches, two strike diesel's face, puncturing his lip, 4 hit his chest, 8 are blocked and the final one hits the black, oil-stained asphalt next to his head. "How dare you show your f*cking face around here after abandoning everyone?!" diesel explains his actions, and zap stands up and turns to walk away. diesel stands up, cracks his knuckles, turns zap around and lets him have one right on the nose. This catches zap off guard and pretty much drops him on the spot. A few minutes (and pictures) later he comes to with Maceo standing over him saying "you got knocked the fuuuuuuck out!" and he hears the loud roar of a crowd’s laughter. His honor's been torn to shreds. "This is unacceptable" he says. He still hasn't noticed the red ferrari to his left. "You’re a loser, your car's sh*t, and you drive like a girl!" he spouts, "your crappy little RX-7 has no place here!" "Why do you think you didn't even manage to finish the last race, huh?"
diesel grabs zap's head and zap cringes expecting another blow. But instead of striking him, diesel turns zap's head about 60 degrees and a glint of red catches his eye. "Hey… w-w-what happened to the seven?" he asks. diesel retorts "it just wasn't working out.. I mean, you said it yourself. The car was sh*t slow, crappy, and all that other bad stuff, so I switched cars." zap puts on a forced smile and says "yeah, it was. That’s why I always beat you driving it… and I can beat this one aswell." He grins and points to his right, where his car is normally parked and nothing there but a white Hiace. Then he remembered he came today with Stef in the team van as he’s without a car while his XJ220 is being further modified. He runs in and snatches a random set of keys off the rack in the office and runs back out. The tag attached to the key reads "number 56". zap runs in to ask .59 which car number 56 is, and he points at the big numbers painted on the ground. “Do I LOOK like someone who keeps up with where people park? I’m not a valet, you know. Go find out.” Zap feverishly searches the lot for the space numbered 56, and finally finds it. In this space is a 2F2F R34 Replica, made for a local car show. Lucky for him it's in the build process and it's being turned into a real car.
zap runs over to the car and starts it. That's the first step.. He then drives over to where diesel's standing. "I bet I can even beat you in THIS piece of crap" diesel, absolutely dying to get a chance at a race, takes him up on this offer. The odd non-japanese engine note was once again heard after diesel starts the Ferrari to take on his challenger. The two rivals speed off toward the on-ramp and enter the freeway.
Engine notes rise and disappear to nothing.
There’s an empty area in the parking lot tonight. I guess some people decided to stay at home and do whatever it is they do on valentine’s day…
Stefaan gets an idea to set up some cones for a little drifting. And it's on.
The team goes into the office to plot out a course and returns a few minutes later with a used napkin with some pencil squiggles on it, a pile of cones, and some spray paint.
it takes about 30 minutes to set it up. But it's done.
oh yeah, diesel won by the way, the 34 was misfiring… the lucky f*ck.
zap vows to beat him with his XJ next time he's around, and attention once again focuses on the little faux drift course set up in the parking lot. First up is Stef. He slides gracefully. Gentle left, right-90, a clean sway down the straight, a long sweeping drift around a loose left turn… A twitch, and then a snap drift to the right, 2 more fast smoky lefts, another sway down the back straight into a left right combo, then a long roundabout drift back into the first left-right combo. He comes out of the corners onto the front straight, and does a huge smoky burnout right in the middle of that straight, then he opens the driver door and does a long donut until the left rear delaminates and explodes leaving him limping the car to the garage to put it away to change a tire.
Then Dal comes out with his new EP3 and gives the course a go with some e-brake drifting. It's a spectacle, but no smoke show like it is when done with an FR car. If only more of the team members weren't focused solely on highway racing and using overpowered Wangan cars set up for stability and top speed.
Alvin (tries) to attack the track next in the Koenigsegg, but the car's just too fast for drifting. He does a burnout from the start position, straight lines the chicane, and ends up spinning off-course after the end of the straight at 140 km/h and decides it would be a little smarter if he puts it away for the next Wangan battle. viperman pulls out his quad for a little tarmac showoffery and does 2 impressive laps around the course... Who would've known you could do such silly things on a quad…
Maceo, as usual has to be the center of attention, so he has a stab at the track with his bright orange bB. He pulls the e-brake down the length of the front straight while hanging out the window smiling at the crowd. Then he pulls a long sway around the sweeping left and stops. He signals a girl from the audience to hop in the passenger seat, and continues the show. he grips the tight right corner and handbrakes the two lefts that follow. He then powers down the rear straight and inertia-drifts the next combo. In the roundabout turn, he grips around, half-throttling, and comes out with tires smoking. He had enough, and drives back to the far end of the garage…
hmm… wonder why he went over there... oh well… no matter… 2 more unfamiliar engine notes are heard, and 2 cars appear from the darkness. A camo-painted Trueno 3dr, and a silver R31 GTS-R.
Damnit… how'd THOSE two know everyone was going to be drifting… I didn't know they were going to be here THAT fast. Noone even told them about it..
After crashing the party, the two cars go toward the track and begin a twin-drift. They both shoot down the front straight and the rear brakes lock momentarily to break traction on the Trueno, while the rears just spin up after a little feint motion and throttle on the R31. The two cars speed toward the hard right and the 31 sways across the track aggressively cutting off the Trueno. The Trueno follows him carefully, both cars smoking the tires. They attack the lefts with endo in the Trueno pulling ahead of skyline in his… well… Skyline… thanks to its nimbleness on corners. The Trueno comes onto the rear straight followed very closely by the skyline. As they get a bit further down the straight, the skyline’s inline six rockets it past the weaker Trueno into the left right combo, endo follows closely behind with big drifts. The two cars both go around the roundabout twice with the Trueno drifting from the inside to the outside to swap positions on the second go around. From there, they slide into the final left right combo. After exiting the series of turns, they accelerate down the track and the skyline crosses the s/f line first. Upon hearing the raucous outside, .59 peeks out to see it’s these idiots, and he comes out and yells "what the hell are YOU guys doing here?!" "You’re lucky my Cefiro's not finished being set up, or I'd send you guys home". They laugh "yeah right" and .59 welcomes them inside, and the rest of the team returns inside for some random nerdy activity that typically happens after a bit of racing. zap pushes the defeated 34 into an empty garage stall and comes back in to join the fun. Another good night… another fast race, another lucky ending. Everyone hangs out in the garage for another 3 or so hours and eventually the lot is left as it was before they all got there... it just has a few paint marks and a lot of rubber.
Dorifuto kurabu no mayonaka. tachiagaru to dorifuto!!
The sun rises once again to start another normal day.
