But you are busy with McGyver on BW...he showed me your video. LOL. He was my student at Infineon. He has only 6 track days total...and had never been to BW...oh..and he has NOz and a turbo..and neon lights too.

orly? I was such a jerk in that video. oops. He did great. He killed me in the slow stuff, but on the fast stuff, my stupidity was faster.

The most embarassing thing I say in the video is, "the RS4 has 3 LSDs". Moral of the story is... I need an exhaust so that my voice doesn't get picked up on camera.

Some of our random topics of discussion were classic. My wife was laughing at the fact we were talking while playing with the rs4. Was he McGyver? He wasn't bad, but you can tell he wasn't comfortable in the open stretches threw bus stop and magic mountain.

Yeah..that is Mike..."McGyver". it was his first time at BW..and seventh track day EVAR. He is picking up speed.. If you look at my 2E9X's video with me on it..I brake too hard for several turns..but then exit pretty fast..this was because I was unfamiliar with the track..having not been there for 7 years. Mike is not comfortable with going fast yet.
Remember his car weighs like 3950 lbs with him not in it...

horrible case of thread-jacking here. Thanks S4! You know what they say about "audi guys". Someone brougut up the classic BMW joke and I kinda have to agree. You know... the difference between a bmw and a porcupine.



EDIT: dude, mcgyver did really good. We compliment him on video. It's just that he didn't want to fly though the fast part which is fine. That section of track after the bus stop can get hairy with cars as fast as ours. It sucks not driving your car home from a track day.

Well..I was an Audi guy for about 10 years...maybe still am an Audi guy...but I have owned four BMWs too. I guess I have bad and good habits from all kinds of places.

I wish I coulda come out for that event..but work wouldnt allow it..nor my wallet.

No problem on the comments...they were funny...especially about the LSD one.
