Modified Live is one of those events in the UK consisting of a Car Show, Time Attack, and Drifting. We usually don't see these 3 separate events happening at once all together.
Here's a short summary of the event shared by Rich from his site Fast-N-Modded.
Sleep, often we all take it for granted but as 4am rolled around on Saturday morning its the one thing we all wanted more than anything, but knowing the great show that was in store we soon chirped up after some filthy dubstep and monster!

Leaving the Humber Bridge lorry park at 5am we set out to meet the crazy Goole gang which included Carl, Matthew and a few others. For some strange reason we had a lot of drop outs, some cars not being ready in time, money issues etc but as we rolled out of Yorkshire with 4 top modified cars all entering the Kleers show & shine competition we still felt that it was going to be a good day, after all.. its what you make of it !

The journey there was one of the most uneventful things ever in history with us munching the motorway miles in no time, before we knew it we where creeping over the speed bumps into Oulton park.

The sun was just breaking through the mist and through the trees as we parked the cars up, traders already up and ready , polish and wax busted open, we cleaned all the cars up and then headed trackside to catch some action !
Let's start this off!

Every time I take a look through Rich's coverage of events in the UK, I always come across a Skyline and that triggers my enviousness. Dam California with all their stuipd car laws.

Matte Black with Pink wheels? That's one way to stand out.
