Yesterday I went to Philip Island with a bunch of my colleague, for the Drive day. The event starts with dividing us into groups with colours on our badge. My group starts the day with leisure driving around the island with ranges of cars. Alex and I start off with the 740i, this car actually cost over $200G which is nice if you are an old man, then we step of the Z4 3.5 convertible, I can feel the power on this one. then Audi A1 is the next, which is really slow, followed by the new 118d, which have not been launched yet, this new car now comes with standard mounted display but no GPS. Then the Merc C250, which somehow I manage to lock to 30km/hr speed. As the result of this the cars behind me got stuck and I didn’t turn where I suppose to, so I had to step out of the car and hop on to the X5. The next one is the Lexus, which feels normal like any Japs car. The last car we get to drive is the 520d, but Alex did the driving this time.

The second event is driving the mini couperS around the witch hat and see how fast you can go on the wet track. The fastest lap that I did was 17.1s I think. The next in the line is the Braking and steering making the use of the ABS. This is quite fun. But unfortunately Alex get sick and I had to do the rest. The exercise is to be able to brake hard and steer through the gap. I completely hit the corner cone dead center, but on the second try I manage to avoid the cone.
The final exercise is to drive around the lap with M3, this is quite an experience because this is the closest you can get driving like a race car driver, it feels like you are racing, then I get to swap to the 650i and drive it around the lap too. This simply become the car that I love, apart from the M3 of course. Then the instructor took us on a hop lap, which takes the car at 260 km/hr on the track, this is an amazing experience, and they drift around the corners like anything.
