for me definitely, especially it handles v similiar to other bimmers so it was easy to adapt and thats a big kudo to bmw engineers but i imagine someone who needs 7 seats and good economy will pick the q7. caynenne has sharper steering and psm as standard but unfortunately understeers too much when power out of corner. to be fair might be if I have more time, I could find a line that I can go a bit faster, though tiff needell said the thing so probably not a lot can be done.

just returned from the q7 test drive. overall its a lot of car for the money but too heavy and steering feel is so vague that I needed to make minor corrections on the steering. from the drivers pt of view, I rank

x5
cayenne
q7

from practicality, value for money

q7
x5
cayenne

pingy - when is ur 5gt test drive?
28th

I don't think our body can last for more 2 hours of karting...unless you don't want to walk or do anything else for the rest of week....

lol...better all go massage after... we might not be able to hold chopsticks after karting...

I might be able to get somebody who are member at the Lung Gu kart track, then we will be able to rent 125cc ...

let me know when, i will make some calls..

Cheers,
Mike

How about 3pm on 22nd Jan guys?

But this will still need to be confirmed on friday night to see if the track is available for the "non member" or not
Me and my frds went there last time around 1pm and they said it was fully booked for the rest of the afternoon.
Their track seems like a private track for the owners or members rather than open to the public :thumbsdown:

Lets see whats what!
