- We take our heavily modified, custom built, drift spec, LS3 swapped Land Rover Defender, along with our ever popular Ford Escort drift van over to Mondello park in sunny Ireland to take part in Retro Stock 2024. After nearly 2 years of building the Land Rover, we finally get to test out what kind of animal we have created! With one of the little clips of the Land Rover gaining over 5 million views on Instagram it has certainly proved a popular little creation. It wasn't all plain sailing on the day though as you'll see. The Escort van was faultless all day pouring out smoke at every corner, and pulling some insane angles! We even managed to pick up a couple of awards on the day for "coolest build" and "most entertaining drifter" As always we try and get as many different angles as possible with the external and onboard cameras.
A big shout out to @woodencustomcars for sending over his track side footage for us to use in the video, massively helped out as I was in the garage for a few of the sessions helping with the Land Rover teething problems.
Anyway, enough rambling, time to get your cider (or should it be Guinness on this occasion) and watch along to see how the day unfolded.
Don't forget, if you like the video give it a thumbs up, and get subscribing to the channel!
This yolk is gonna break the internet😂😂 we seen it in action at mondello park unreal 👍👍👍
Was such a good day! Looking forward to getting back over there 👌🏻
Sander and grinder switched off, ready for this 🔥
👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome video, thanks for sharing behind the scenes🏁
Thanks for sending over your clips! Filled in the gaps nicely 🤝
Looking forward too seeing this mad motor
🤙🏼🤙🏼
Now that’s driving. You boys make it look so easy
😅😅
What an amazing Show, looking forward for more smoke 👍😃
More smoke after a new gear box!
Love how you 'finessed' the bodywork on the Landie. I did similar to the front corner of a mate's Group 4 Mk2 Escort at an event a few years back, much to the horror of the spectators.
"You cant hit a Mk2 with a sledgehammer!"
"Watch me..."
😂 hammer is the quickest tool in the box in those situations
Mental build!

Brilliant day at the track. Smokin good
Very good day overall! can’t wait to get back over there, such a good track 🤙🏼
Well done lads and well done jack for throwing that landy around. Cant wait to see what you can do with it after its dialled in
Once the fuel problems were sorted it was flying! a few more tweaks, and learning how it drives and it’ll be awesome!
Landy looks the mutts , watched the build crackin job lads 😉👏🤘that was a workout jack brilliant! 🤘
Cheers! It was nice to finally see it on track
Yeesssssss 🙌
I've ditched my plans tonight just to watch this.... Let's just say, the doghouse is pending 😅
😂 hope the video is worth it! No pressure 😅
Love those shots off the back of the van, and the landy is just the right amount of mental. 👌
Was some sight seeing it sideways around the track 😂
Absolute superb work what a great creation.
Cheers, glad you liked it!
Honestly, you boys are such a vibe! And your man in the van is 1 hell of a driver! God damn!
🤙🏼🤙🏼
Smokin 😎
💨💨
Fantastic 😉 great footage, enjoyed watching nearly as much as you did taking part👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Nice one lads

That was fucking brilliant. Fair play you boys can drive that's for sure. Its a bloody shame the Land Rover didn't hold out but im sure Jack will have it fixed in no time and no doubt will have it going better and madder than before!!! Well done boys, and fair play to ya!!!
Finally got to see Jack out on a track
About time really 😂
Thats propper avin the crack, good on yer lads love it😆
🤙🏼🤙🏼
Awesome, well done guys👌👌 🥰 wish I’d been there😅
Next time! You and Dave going to Anglesey end of October?
@@avin_the_crack oh yes 😁
We’re trying to get there as well, depends on gearbox availability 😅
The landy is gonna be a beast once the teething problems are sorted and sounds immense
But got to love the sound of that JRE xe lump slurping through the trumpets
Another great video with crazy builds
Ive said it before and ill say it again i cant see how you dont have 50k subs plus
1 of these videos are gonna go viral and you will get the subs you deserve
Yeah was always going to be a bit of a test day at its first event, went well on the whole though! The XE’s do sound awesome especially when they’re pulling hard! Can’t wait to fire the one up in the mk4 Escort project!
Cool👌
😎😎
That Landy looks a right hand full but what a ride that is awesome 👍
Bit of a wrestling match to start with but came good before the gearbox expired 😫
@@avin_the_crack what gear box you got in it l think it may need a bank loan 🤷♂️
Tremec T56 magnum, had a specialist look at it and he said be easier to get a new one 😂
@@avin_the_crack shit that’s not good it means it’s going to be expensive
New gearbox, plus we’ll be fitting an oil cooler and heat blankets on the exhaust sections that run down either side of the box 😬
Great video guys, shame jack keeps breaking it lol 😢 nevermind he'll be back at it soon and good ole faithful van still going ok Josh 👍❤
He does like to test things to destruction 😂
Any local shows planned with this ? I'd love to see it in the flesh !
Once we’ve got a new gearbox and ironed out some other bits we’ll make some plans. We’re trying to get it ready for drift matsuri 😅
You guys are off your heads, Would have loved to have heard the guys thoughts in the BMW and the Mercedes when they looked in the mirror and saw Farmer Jim coming hard 🤪
😂😂 thought we were on a track not off roading!
Great coverage of sweet drifting lads. Jackos landy is a big old girl to get sideways😂
Cheers, yeah she’s not your conventional drift machine 😂
Pukka video you lads can definitely pedal these motors keep it up lads
Will do 🫡🫡
Jacko landy did good now to sort out the bugs.
Sorted a few things out, new gearbox to be ordered, fingers crossed it’ll be ready for drift matsuri 👍🏻
@avin_the_crack I was looking at the tremec site.. I see they sell a cooler kit. Maybe you could make one up for the Landy or something close... might help with heat situation... lol at least the axles held 😅 this time
We’ve got some exhaust blanket on the way for the sections that run down either side of the box, and going to run some ducting to funnel air in and around it. Expensive oversight 😬
Who needs expensive polish and cloths when a ratchet strap and hammer does the job 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂 straighten it out and drive it on 👊🏼
That Land Rover defender v8 is totally mental. What the bhp on the Land Rover?
An the vans a bit tasty also. Whats engine and bhp has the van got? Top job by everyone. Seems everyone was definitely Avin The Crack.
Landy has around 550, the van runs a C20XE making 260 👍🏻
@@avin_the_crack wow that some good numbers for the Land Rover, you mite get a bit more power (around 40 bhp+) from the van, if you need it.
Was a fantastic video tho, told some mates about the Land Rover drifting, they soon changed their tune when they watched the video tho. With a lot of F words.
@Vince_Paul we had a few upgrades dropped in the LS before it went in. That’s what we like to hear, spread the word 😂
