Spotted: Skyline GTR? in Beaverton

Whoever was driving the the gray Skyline R33(?) GTR(?) with BC plates last night around 8:00pm westbound on HWY 26 from Portland and continued to HWY 217 southbound, nice car! I was trying to catch up to you and give you a thumbs up, but I think you mistook me for racing. I was driving the red Evo VIII.

I thought I could catch up to you after the 26-to-217 cloverleaf, but alas you kicked out into a drift the last 1/4 of the turn and then sped away at what looked like about 100mph. I dare not attempt that stuff in Beaverton as I'm sure they would lock me up & throw away the key.

Anyway, if this gets to you, nice car and driving skills.

Could have been, note the (?) marks, meaning they were my best guesses. Probably not a lot of gray skylines around town, although this one had BC Canadian plates so maybe it's another one.

Canadian Skylines are actually getting fairly common. This, or maybe last year they pasted the canadian age limits (well, some R32's atleast) so they are legal now. R33's are in another couple years and the R34's have a few years to go.

Is he the type that would go drifting in such a way? If so, that's probably the guy. Please give him a thumbs up and a compliment on his drift technique from me

yeah he does, but he doesnt drift his R32 that much anymore, he has a 240sx with like 50k into it. He goes down to PIR for the drift events, by the way there is one tomorrow from 8-5, $10 to spectate!
