Where would we be without Keiichi? A living legend, Keiichi Tsuchiya is a professional racing driver also known as the “Drift King” (otherwise as Dorikin) for his nontraditional use of drifting in non-drifting racing events, and his role in popularising drifting as a motorsport. He’s also known for touge (mountain pass) driving. The car that he uses to drive has become one of the most popular sports cars these days, Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno (a.k.a. the “Hachi-Roku” in Japan (hachi-roku meaning “eight six”)).

I’m sure the news is getting out there, but I’ve been working full time at Buddy club Australia for a few weeks now (and I’m loving it!). I’ve already made a few print adverts which you’ll be seeing in up-coming magazines such as Auto salon, HPI and Hot 4’s and I’m already tearing apart the web site which was an exact mirror of the American site.
I’m taking the unconventional method of working on it as I go so you’ll see changes there almost daily. If you’re curious you can check out the differences already between the US site and the Aus site. I’ve also included recommended retail prices and applications on all products on the site as well as a page where you can find your closest Buddy club dealer.
Also, if you have a car with Buddy club products on it, please send me an email with photos and some details and I’ll add you to the Buddy club customers gallery!
