An interruption from the usual programming, but one that I’m pretty sure you won’t begrudge us for. Elizabeth Tan doesn’t sing about cars (thankfully!) but her latest video – a collaboration with DJs Goldfish and Blink titled Somewhere New – does feature some four-wheeled action.
And not the kind of mega buck bling wheels that are so common in music videos too, but a pair of rusty old Toyota Corollas! The dance track, which rides on the trend that has seen the likes of Calvin Harris and Avicii top the charts, shows the DJ duo and the pretty YouTube star play cat and mouse around KL, before jumping into cars for phase two of the chase.
Seeing the pair of KE70s dance around on tarmac and gravel reminded yours truly of a day behind the wheel of a similar car. Back in December 2009, I went for a Goodyear-organised “day course” in drifting by husband and wife pro drifters Ariff Johanis Ahmad and Azrina Jane Abdullah, who gave us beginner lessons in the rear-wheel drive KE70 and AE86.
We were taught how to initiate a drift, counter steer and modulate the throttle, all while “feeling” the car and keeping mechanical sympathy out of mind (full account here). Plenty of laughs and crushed cones, plus sore arms the following day. Fun activities that we don’t get to do enough of, unfortunately. Maybe it’s time to get a RWD banger to let off some steam!
Surely Liz didn’t actually drift in the video, did she? Who knows, she might have taken lessons from Jane!
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Got both DX and GL, sweet.
Good choice. Amoi prefers Toyota instead of Proton, only Auntie chooses Proton

The body motion was very nice.
She should be with me.
I mean the car, the grey ke70, while drifting.

Nice music. Yeah awkward cos she smiled too much into the camera. Should have just stared blindly ahead, she will look cooler.
Came here cos I am disappointed with the B9 Audi. Staying with Beamer.
Is this post about the Elizabeth Tan video or is it about Danny reminiscing his drifting experience…
I think Danny wanna drift Elizabeth

KE30 & KE70 are the legendary Toyotas that puts the Corollas into stardom for reliabilty and durability
How dare that guy touch my Elly arm!!!!

No VSC. Better use Proton
Nice drifting sequence, but unfortunately the music is not in sync.
