Absolutely amazing pics. I'm just stunned by how well those pics came out.

Yup those pics really put mine to shame... especially love the water coming off the 1ers in the slalom.

was just having a discussion with my mates, does anyone recall from your BMW training course what the stopping distance from 100km/hr on the 1"s or 3"s was when we were testing the ABS braking?

Stuart@BMRAutowerkes · 02-17-2011, 06:21 PM

from 100ks it was 30-40metres. maybe ~37?

thanks, looked much shorter though guess because of the speed and sudden braking

Hey Cruvon, it was nice to meet you on Wednesday. I had a great time. It's not everyday you get to drive someone else's M3. The car that really impressed me though was the 123d. Those things really fly. I now have a newfound respect for diesel cars. I am thinking about going to the track day in March. I will contact Wopalx to see if any spots left.

Hi ABC99G, was great catching up and was nice chatting with you. Did look for you when I was leaving but couldn't find you, was an awesome day indeed! Looking forward to see you at the March track day

Blue ford laser in the background has more eye candy than any of those drab coloured cars.

Driving at 225km/h out near Mitchell (Qld) in his BMW Z4 the Driver hit a Kangaroo..

The kangaroo disappeared!

The driver stopped and wondered where did the kangaroo go?

Not sure if it was actually a roo or not but I'd say he may need to clean his intake.

nahhahahaha! I missed this on my initial read through - pictures must have been loading at the time. Lucky one of the later posts got my attention and I went back searching. Funny post. Thanks!
