From an unknown location (for our safety, and yours), we bring you footage from deep within the underground vaults of the Castle Diffin archives. This weeks selection was recorded in East LondonDerry at a meeting of 'The Full Throttle Crew' in 2011. The FTC are a clandestine organisation of an unspecified size that are known to be linked with sectarian activity in the area, the throttle in their moniker serving as a warning to rival Diffin factions. A crowd of hundreds gathered on the day to pay homage to the Diffin skills of the FTC, though undoubtedly there were as many present out of fear as there were in support.

The high spec vehicles on display speak for themselves, there was some top-class bappin in progress that day. Interestingly, the video title declares Diffin in a twin-cam to be literally akin to ballet: a highly technical form of performance dance that originated in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century. Indeed the similarities are manifold when watching the twin-cams lurching gracefully to the squeal of their own tires. Both ballet and stearin from the rear require years of training to learn and master, and much practice to retain proficiency.The comments section of the video attests to the quality on display at the meet.
