2006 BMW Advanced Driver's Training Photos

[Mockngbrd]

Here's a number of photos i took during yesterday's ADT.
It was great fun to be able to basically be a hooligan with the new E90 330i. Those are some great cars to drive.

Was it worth the $500? Like amost everyone else says, "YES!"
The only drawbacks were having to wake up really early in the morning

I'll do a writeup soon enough.
But for now, the many many photos!!!

(Have to wake up and leave the house earmy morn... what a drag)

Bedok -> Raffles Marina in Tuas...

Breakfast was provided (not that great though). & Boarding the bus to ride up (quite comfy)

Nice fleet of cars with brand new tyres for us to "use"

Instructor dude...

Lecture first... quite fast and not too boring...

Pocket billards

330AIGHT!

Rule #4 was don't wreck the car

Soapy water for emergency braking

Lined up for brake+swerve

Off to the track at a nice slow pace

Emergency lane change (this was pretty fun and easier then it looked from the outside, i guess the car played a part)

nice new tyres for us to use

The most bestest fun bit, Understeer / Oversteer (Instructor dude over the comms, "We are not here to learn how to drift, Louis...")

tyres were covered in cooking oil, actually, the WHOLE car was covered in cooking oil, smelt like it too...

Gooder Gooder

Reverse flik demo (to get us to sign up for IDT...)

2 cars doing reverse flik together side by side, i tried to take a pic whilst inside the car, tough when you getting thrown all over...

Timed slalom... got a lousy time (i blame DSC for cutting my powah)

Nice Pics Ah Mock.....

For me, the worst part of the day was sitting behind Mocking and he was trying to get the oil slugs out of the tires.

It was like being punched in the body left and right by King Kong 20 times.

And Yes.....Mocking will trash/floor/full trottle/whack/abuse the car whenever he gets a chance...... and i mean whenever...even if it was for 5 meters. Haha! But hey, who wouldn't?

Throughly enjoyed myself and got myself a homemade video of Top Gear Singapore Style.

Will try to post some videos.............

Cheers!

haha this explains instructor's comment "that's not 70km/h", "you gonna burn-out the active steering" and "be careful oil pan is slippery".

sorry to interrupt though was not on the saturday group, just returned from the sunday ADT. nice pics there and very very well taken. My sunday group just did it today and we could see the wear on the tyres by the saturday group. There were a lot of non BMW drivers in my sunday group, probably 80% non BMW owners if not wrong who took up the course bcos their companies sponsored it. These people including myself were very impressed by the prowess of 330i, truly an awesome driving machine. After driving the e90 330i today, I feel like throwing away my e90 320i
