This was my first s2ki drive and I had a great time. The pace was more aggressive than I expected and tested my limits. One thing is apparent: I definitely need some time on a track to explore the limits of my car in a safe setting.

My first time out, I was like "WTF, these people are CRAZY, we're all going to DIE!" And then there was an incident (not me), which really served to put the fear of god into me.

By my third time out they wouldn't let me run in the medium group anymore.

I believe he started from scratch and took specific design cues that were going to be incorporated into the rest of the lineup eventually. The design language is very Italian, as he's an Italian designer who used to work for Alfa Romeo.

ahh got it. BMW needs to step up their game in their interior dept. The new 5 series has a nicer interior, but still not as nice as Audi imo.

This is a fantastic shot! Is there any chance we could get the full quality version of it? It makes a great multi-monitor wallpaper.

Haha.. I like this pic.

Caption -

"See that guy? Yeah, the guy that's over in the other field... his name's Anish. He's oblivious to this driver's meeting and won't have a clue where he's going on the drive. Whatever you do, do not follow him."

In my defense, I didn't get lost... The CHP officer that asked for my autograph was happy to point out where I needed to go that day, and in approximately the next month.
