So while I was derping around on StumbleUpon I...stumbled upon (heh heh heh) a user who goes by christopherhib (http://www.stumbleupon.com/stumbler/christopherhib/likes). According to his profile he is a "passionate car person" and loves all things automotive, which is pretty damn aligned with what my interests are. He resides in the UK and the majority of the topics he has "stumbled" and bookmarked are categorized in Cars, Car Parts, and Motor Sports. He follows other categories as well such as Television, Sports, and Forums but even in these categories, the articles and websites he has saved are related with cars, specifically Japanese cars, tuning, and drifting.

I can almost seamlessly and endlessly scroll through all of the pages and articles he has bookmarked which I found out totals up to 400+. He also contributes heavily in discussion with over 200 comments and follows 33 other people. I also learned that he has created his own website (http://carsandcoolstuff.com) which highlights some of the articles he has bookmarked and he also provides event coverage for the drifting and motorsports events he attends. Unfortunately, through StumbleUpon I could not gather what he tagged his "likes" as and how active he is when favoriting but judging from his comments, he is quite active.

He also provides great resources through his website such a page full of websites/blogs he constantly frequents. Since he is in the UK, I now have a plethora of drifting and Japanese car tuning resources and content to browse through to learn more about how the tuning culture is like in the UK. Previously, my knowledge about drifting and the automotive tuning culture stemmed from the United States, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia. Its great to see that there is an extremely strong culture in the UK as well. http://www.driftbloggers.com/ is kind like the UK counterpart of Wrecked Magazine albeit less dramatic. I also learned that there is new movement and style of building drift cars called "tramp drift" that showcases damaged and battle-scarred drift cars. I guess thats kinds of like the missle car movement here in the states and Japan. Give a looksee into http://rat-look.com/ if interested.

Please give christopherhib's StumbleUpon as well as personal website a viewing as he offers a ton of great resources and has great tastes if you're into Japanese tuning and drifting. He has plenty of knowledge about the state of tuning not only in the UK but globally as well. I thoroughly enjoyed everything he has shared through StumbleUpon and I can consider him my quintessential social bookmarking soulmate.
