I took a driving course a couple of days ago at our local track (Mission Raceway). It was incredibly fun - if you haven't done this before you have got to do it!
The instructors were great and I learned alot. The car was incredible too - the faster you go and the harder you push it the smaller the car feels. Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera (and thought twice about posting this without photos). There was another M5, lots of M3s, and Audi R8, Lotus Elise, etc. I've now got the bug.....I need more track time!!!
Is it just me or does anyone else thinks this is the most fun you can have with you clothes on?
