Irish Ken Block Drifts His Home-Brewed Buggy around the House

Couples consisting of a car guy and a non-car girl are facing plenty of free time spending issues, with the most frequent conflicts seeing the feminine side complaining about the admittedly exaggerated amount of time the male half spends away from home.

Nevertheless, an Irish petrolhead named James Caroll has come up with a simple solution, namely home-brewed drifting. The plan is rather simple and while we don't know if the man has had issues such as the one described above, his scheme is perfect for all types of couples or singles.

To put it shortly, this guy is bringing us home-brewed drifting. There are three main steps that need to be followed here.

It all starts with the machine around you. James is an expert when it comes to this, since he's already at his third home-built buggy.

As he explains, his drift tool is animated by a Suzuki GSX-R1000 motorcycle engine, which means it packs at least 160 hp. To make sure he gets the right amount of thrills out of the thing, he chose to double the power compared to his last buggy.

The machine comes with plenty of tech goodies, including a limited slip differential.

"There is over 15000 thousand euro's worth of materials and over three years of late nights and hard graft put into creating my third buggy," James explains.

The second step concerns the drifting itself, which James also seems to handle around the house. Those of you who have mastered climbing your driving sideways will easily understand.

Then there's there are the plans. Despite his dog seeming to be extremely pleased with the extreme slip angles and tight-space sideways maneuvering James displays, he plans to sell the buggy, hopefully to build another one.

When a man spends this much time around the house, his lady can't complain, right?
