Charlotte,

You skipped over the hour long tutorial on how to avoid using an indicator, tail-gating for best effect and “why-it-is-okay-for me-to-use-a-bus-lane” sections. The standard part of any BMW event.

From experience, I can say that it is the best defensive driving course out there

Oh and Hamnida, thanks for reminding me I don’t possess sufficient misery nor hatered to be a sneering leftie.

But anyway it’s also fun driving some POS little Toyomazda that cost you $1500, and hanging in there behind a BMW whose driver is trying – but failing – to show you his superiority…

My little toyomazda has been lowered 30mm stiffened 20% and sits on v good rubber
Love it when some prat in euro rubbish gets up my arse on the highway. I do NOT speed…… nor do I slow for corners….

Interesting that people feel the need to drive BMWs while 270,000 New Zealand children live in poverty.

North Korea is that way, Comrade >>>>>>>>

Meanwhile, in fun NZ – Boomrock looks great!

It doesn’t surprise me they need to train people to drive them properly… the capabilities of most of the better cars on NZs roads seem to be completely lost on the sorts of people that typically own them.

But anyway it’s also fun driving some POS little Toyomazda that cost you $1500, and hanging in there behind a BMW whose driver is trying – but failing – to show you his superiority…

(And for completeness: I’ve driven a couple of BMWs… 323 Ci E46 and 325 E30… lovely cars, but I wouldn’t want to own one, a few too many $1200 electronic black boxes under the dash for my liking!)

Shame Emma Gilmour is sponsored by Subaru. I'm not doubting Mike Eady's skill but if it's going to be a ladies day may as well round the whole thing out.

Sheesh Hamnutts you sad little smallminded POS.

It is called “LIVING”

Your idea of fun being half an hour on a ratepayer funded skate park on a childs stolen tryke and arf of chips no fish from a bin on the way home is not fun.

This blog features more product placement than a Hollywood movie.

[DPF: No it doesn't. It features none. I got nothing for agreeing to the review]

“..man or lady.”

Definitely written by a woman.

Next time, try ‘man or woman’ or even, for goodness sake, ‘gentleman or lady.’

Hamnida, you have access to a computer and the Internet – while, according to you, 270,000 New Zealand children live in poverty.

The Internet is a luxury. So is a computer.

Do you have difficulty sleeping at night? You should.

Both were fantastic cars to drive… .. even in the ‘wet spot’…

Really?

Don’t they have difficulty sleeping?
