What do we have here? A drifter from New Zealand, sliding around in the snow at northern tip of Hokkaido in Japan.
It sounds like Mad Mike is enjoying his most recent trip to Japan, even with temperatures at -6 degrees! The car in the photo is Mike's new FD, which was built from the ground-up to be his new Japan-based car.
Expect a Driver Blog covering his latest adventures soon…

A rotary started in the winter?
Now that is awesome! I'm back to a FWD this winter, I have to make do with left foot braking and handbrake sldies and I miss throttle-induced-rooster-tail-shooting-sideways-in-the-snow hooliganism.
Soooo jealous!
thats sick !
no bn sports kit there either, so is he annoucing a full D1 car soon?
Desktop?
Another car... far out, so thats 3 cars in different countries I know about. Is it done all the same as the 'original' FD with the 4-rotor?
that's.... (wait for it...) cool.
This is sick,,,
I hope those wheels are for him sliding around on the snow, Cuz i would be so disappointed if he got rid of his Weds and perfect fitment. I think I would cry... Yep I would cry...
That takes skill to drift in the snow.
ground up? so this ain't 4-rotor?
Hmm i wonder where the original car is going...
jk, no reason to wonder on that one
Yoshioka (or Yoshi King for the dorks out there) did it with a Lan EVO 8 and Droopy's Honcho 2 years ago.
It was bound to happen that someone would copy it....and more to follow I'm sure....
lol looks like my back yard
This is just madness(in a very good way)... no wonder they call'em Mad Mike
i am very interested in this post. is he the only one there doing this at the time of this photo? who else? any other photos? if so, where?
This car sounds so damn sweet when you hear it. 26B baby (Yes, 4 rotors, like some of the above posters have already stated.)
