....now that would be some serious fun 
You'd have to have your smile surgically removed after that one.

Adv 1 looks like a waste of time.
You do need Adv 1 b4 you can register for perfection.
You can however register for both at the same time if you call.
I'm very tempted to get a couple of my buddies together for this as some form of male bonding thing. :P

Absolutely great day at the BMW driver training
They really run a first class program.
This was the AdvII class.
We got to play with the E90 330i... these were right out of the box, less than 500 km.
They ran with 2 instructors: Aaron Povoledo and Robin Buck.. 2 pretty talented guys.
They set us up 2 to a car and we alternated as driver/copilot.
This course is aimed at drilling the basics.
The time is spent on two skid pads (slippery as packed snow);
Weaving the cones;
& a finaly, a timed AutoX.
It was a really full day from 8:30 to 5:30....
I learned how many many bad habits that I have to work to un-learn
All in all highly recommended
(as long as you aren't expecting track time)
Here's a few pics from today...
PIC-1 Chomping at the bit to get going.... part of the fleet in the background
PIC-2 This is what we play in the next time in PerfectionI
PIC-3 Skid pad working the Understeer
PIC-4 Skid pad working the Oversteer
PIC-5 Aaron getting ready to set the AutoX benchmark
