Honey!!!! I'm hoooomme!!
Just got in from O'fest! Hotel sucked. BMW still managed to run a fantastic event in spite of the accomidations. Will post more as I get settled. Have a great shot of me chasing a track-ready version of the new M3. Had a "Novice" driver in it so I was able to tail him for an entire session. The instructor was also the main driver of the car (M3) and he did not seem pleased with me chasing his student down. He later made sure it would not happen again (darn it!)
Will try to get caught up on the board and answer all the emails that are currently sitting in my in-box.

That M3 could have gone faster, but the whole balance of the car was thrown off by all those numbers on the side!

Welcome back! Can't wait to see all the pictures!

...and I'm sure that putting a travel agent in a bad hotel is going to be really bad for someone's business!

where's the student driver sign?
You should have asked the student how much the instructor charges then when you pass him and yelled out I'll teach you for free... haha

No, the reason the M3 was so slow was because the numbers on the side of the car created too much aerodynamic drag.

... "M3 driver to his passenger"
"... this M3 is incredible! Just one thing - they might want to get a new rear-view mirror that doesn't have an M5 reflected in it all of the time! ... then again, maybe that's BMW's subtle way of telling me that I should buy an M5?.... "
