In this episode of The Breakdown, we sit down with Rhys, a South Wales-based car enthusiast with over 24 years behind the wheel—from drifting Fords to taming his beloved Nissan R34 Skyline, known affectionately as “The Boat.”
We get into:
⛽ His full journey from Ford days to JDM passion
🏎️ What it’s really like owning, modding, and driving an R34 Skyline
💨 Drifting stories, car mishaps, and embracing imperfection
🛠️ Why these machines are meant to be used, not just polished
🤝 How the local South Wales car scene keeps the culture alive
Rhys brings a refreshing, grounded perspective to the car world — one that celebrates the people, the stories, and the seat time, not just the spec sheets. If you love real builds, driving hard, and car culture with soul, this episode hits home.
