Ferd, here's a video that someone took of my sessions at the BMW performance driving school. I'm driving the #1 cars - with one exception - I'm in the passenger seat of the metallic orange 1M, rather than the driver's seat.... and yes, the white M5 on the skid pad is me spinning around. Fun stuff!

A yellow Porsche and an Audi wagon? What a great combo!! The black one was on her way out (a friend still has her at 200+K).

It was fun. I'll probably go back again one more time this year, then look for more dates next year.... they have a good set up down there.

Thanks, I have to say my Miura is the rarest and favorite. It started the term "Supercar" and was the fastest production car in the world in its time. Still one of the most beautiful sports car designs.

Agreed. That Lamborghini is awesome. The rest are nice, too. Thanks for sharing.

Ah, an alternate ride thread.

Here's a shot of my K75S which sees as many miles as the 996. I'm a newish rider but this bike is like a 911. It does everything well.

My wife drives a 2004 Audi Allroad 6spM. Atlas grey. It's a beautiful car, and it impresses me once in a while.....but it's a pain in the *** to own and maintain. I don't even have a good photo of it so.....

@exotic car guy: I still think the 928, in its time, was an beautiful performance machine and one of my favorite Porsches of all time.

This is my daily commuter. The 996 only comes out on weekends. The other one is my go fast.
