Harry Morant · Jun 9th, 2004, 02:18 AM

I'm down for the afternoon session at Eastern Creek on the 7th of September

poki · Jun 9th, 2004, 03:52 AM

Congrats guys. It is looking much easier to get in this time around.

Todd! · Jun 9th, 2004, 04:19 AM

The women said they were very popular in Victoria...

I suffered from Trelo syndrome - no credit card!!
(Still not even old enough to have one!! Dad sorted me out luckily)

Do you pay up front, or on the day?

poki · Jun 9th, 2004, 05:27 AM

We had to pay upfront. If you have to cancel you do your dough by increasing degrees the closer it gets to the big day. Someone didn't show up to the Sydney session so I assume that they lost $395 on that bet.

Is it still that price?

Harry Morant · Jun 9th, 2004, 05:42 AM

Yep $395 it is - they did say you could cancel or postpone but there was a certain period for which you had to give them notice. I can't remember what that period was as I had no intention of not going and wasn't listening

minigolf · Jun 9th, 2004, 07:02 AM

Damn, mrs minigolf and I both want to do this, but we just need to get to the other side of our house move before we can cop the bill I'm afraid!

-blacky- · Jun 9th, 2004, 07:22 AM

I think if you can get in - do the course - you will have heaps of fun fanging around with great instructors

MickyD · Jun 9th, 2004, 07:52 AM

I seem to recall my dealer mentioning that if you are in the BMW EPP (Executive Preference Program) you could get the training for something like $150 instead of $395, can anyone confirm this??

Todd! · Jun 9th, 2004, 08:12 AM

If your up for it Micky, jump in the same time as me!!

We'll have a ball!!

Phone BMW Driver Training and ask I guess... At $150 it would represent fantastic value!

cityclinic · Jun 10th, 2004, 01:44 AM

Can't recommend doing the MINI Driver Training enough . . . . definately a great intro to the more intensive courses which will be announced next year. If you are really keen do the Advanced 1 or 2 after you do MINI. Even though these courses are in BMW 3 series including M3's you will learn heaps which can be applied to your driving on road and on track

MickyD · Jun 10th, 2004, 02:12 AM

Just chasing it up now, hopefully I can get in on the 29 september session

edit: just confirmed that EPP members get the driver training for $150 !!
booking it in now, for the afternoon session.

Harry Morant · Jun 10th, 2004, 07:44 AM

So is the EPP something one joins or is part of for buying one of their vehicles?

MickyD · Jun 10th, 2004, 08:17 AM

it's the 'executive preference program'. It is something to do with the company you work with. I work for a large public company, and apparently that makes me eligible for it :-)

Todd! · Jun 10th, 2004, 08:25 AM

Sweeeeet Micky!!

I cant wait - reverse 180s here we come!!

Todd

IML337 · Jun 10th, 2004, 08:38 AM

Ask the instructor in the M3 to give you a demo of oversteer while you're on the skidpan too
