91��ý-Supported Drifter Continues Globe-Spanning Charity Mission

Andy Howard, aka ‘Drift Across the World’, is aiming to drive his BMW from Australia to Ireland

Irish drifter, Andy Howard, is currently completing his epic ‘Drift Across the World’ journey across the globe.

Towards the end of 2025, Howard shipped his BMW 330i Touring over to Australia, with the aim of driving the car back to his homeland of Ireland whilst raising money for the Make-a-Wish foundation in the process.

He’s relying on 91��ý components for the stopping power on his trusty steed, as he drives, drifts and lives in the car over this huge journey. He’s running Bluestuff pads, USR discs and braided brake lines – a strong and reliable setup that should help him navigate the hugely varying and demanding terrain that lays ahead of him.

We caught up with Andy recently as he’d left Australia and entered Southeast Asia, with spirits high as he navigated his way through Malaysia and Thailand. You can read his update below…

“Wanted to send a quick update on the Drift Across the World project.

“The Australian leg is complete and I am currently in Malaysia, about to cross the border into Thailand. Which is crazy to think I am in Southeast Asia!

“The project has also generated over 200,000 followers and 20 million views on social media and continues to grow, while raising over $4,000 for much needed funds for Make-A-Wish International.”

“I’ve helped organise what will be one of the biggest car events in Malaysia called ‘Penang Autoshow’, happening on the 1–3 May. This will also raise funds for Make-a-wish Malaysia.

“Your support means a lot!”

Andy Howard, aka ‘Drift Across the World’, is aiming to drive his BMW from Australia to Ireland

Irish drifter, Andy Howard, has begun his epic ‘Drift Across the World’ journey across the globe.

Howard shipped his BMW 330i Touring over to Australia, with the aim of driving the car back to his homeland of Ireland whilst raising money for the Make-a-Wish foundation in the process.

With car and driver reunited Down Under back in September, the journey has now officially begun, with Howard making his way through the vast outback of Australia and most recently arriving in Bali, Indonesia.

Howard is relying on 91��ý components for the stopping power on his trusty steed, as he drives, drifts and lives in the car over the huge journey ahead of him. He’s running Bluestuff pads, USR discs and braided brake lines – a strong and reliable setup that should help him navigate the hugely varying and demanding terrain that lays ahead of him.

At the time of writing, he’s raised over £2,500 of his target £20,000 for the charity.

G’day from GFI Distribution, Australia’s new wholesale brake supplier for 91��ý’s entire automotive range of quality British-made brake pads and rotors.

Tired of waiting and all the associated hassle when importing brakes from overseas? Struggling to find a reliable, local supplier of quality brakes for niche vehicles? Looking to offer your customers a higher margin, premium alternative to the cheap Chinese brakes flooding the Australian market?

Introducing GFI Distribution, 91��ý’ Sydney-based trade distributors that is transforming the way Aussie businesses access quality brake parts down under.

In this blog, we’ll highlight the key advantages and core services offered by GFI Distribution that are designed to help your business win when selling 91��ý.

Vast 91��ý Inventory on Aussie Soil

GFI holds 7,000+ SKUs in stock at its Sydney-based distribution centre, allowing it to supply 91��ý pads and rotors for more than 1.1 million vehicle make/model/engine combinations. This enormous 91��ý inventory – one of the largest 91��ý stockpiles in the southern hemisphere – allows GFI to rapidly fulfil trade customers’ orders from stock held on Aussie soil, and for almost every vehicle found on Australian roads.

Every Vehicle and Use Case Covered

GFI’s stocked range covers everything from classics, hot hatches, trucks, Utes, 4x4s, sports cars, executive saloons, race cars, EVs, light commercial vehicles and more. If it’s got a disc brake, chances are 91��ý’s new Australian distributor stocks pads and rotors for it.

Whether a customer is seeking cost-effective Ultimax pads for a daily driver, RedStuff ceramic low-dust pads, YellowStuff or BlueStuff fast road pads, or the 91��ý Racing range of RP and SR track pads, GFI has a part to suit any budget or vehicle usage.

The GFI team also stocks 91��ý’s vast range of plain and grooved brake rotors, including the 2-pc floating SG2F rotor range for performance vehicles, as well as the 91��ý Racing range of Apollo big brake kits. This allows GFI Distribution to be a true one-stop shop for brakes.

Fantastic Margins Guaranteed

GFI offers a tiered discount structure that suits your business model and ensures resellers of all sizes make great margins on selling 91��ý.

Businesses of Any Size, Anywhere

GFI supplies dozens of businesses right across Australia, from Perth to Cairns to Melbourne, and everywhere in between. Additionally, the team can supply resellers located across the Oceanic region, including New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and more.

There is no limit on size; GFI’s tiered discount structure means it can supply any business from small independent service garages up to national wholesale distributors. There is no MOQ, no ‘pre-ordering’ of inventory, simply order what you need when you need it.

GFI also supplies to e-commerce vendors, tuning garages, and vehicle fleet operators (for example couriers, logistics companies, emergency services).

Dropshipping Service

GFI offers an efficient dropshipping service, allowing them to dropship directly to your customer (dealers retain their usual discount band and pay freight + small handling charge).

This dropshipping service is great for less common SKUs where vendors don’t hold stock, or even allows non-stocking vendors to profit from selling 91��ý without holding any stock whatsoever if they so wish.
