I finally took the level one course,
A very good group of instructors and a blast I would highly recommend it. If you earn the instructors trust they let you get a little more aggressive too. You only get to drive a manual STI in Level 3, so that was a bit disappointing, but we drove A4s for the beginners course which was OK.

jacky,
You are THE man,
I'm coming next week to Brisbane for good. The most top on my list is the driving courses in Autodrome. I wanna ask about how much such courses cost.
Also i'll be buying a car what would you recommend and what car you own?
Anyway, will also appriciate if there are car enthusiats gatherings.
Cheers mate, hope to see you in the mirror of my car.

jacky,
The beemer is a nice car, i'm actually still thinking about getting a 325 cab or 330ci, but prices are high for recent (last 5 years) models. Still eager to get a Lumina SS coupe, price seems affordable. 50+K.
How is the price of Supra? model etc?

Dont get me wrong the BM is a nice car and Im happy with it but this is Brisbane, they are as comman as a black and white taxi in Egypt.
Im not a fan of Luminas, typical American trash, sure they may have some power but go around a corner at more than 50 and youll realize they are only made for the straightway, no offence though just stating an opinion, I do have to admit American branded cars look way better here than they do in NA. I just would always prefer handling over power.
A Toyota Supra twin turbo will run you about the same coin as your SS but itll be older, a 95ish shouldnt cost you more than 55k in really good condition, the problem I have is finding a car that isnt an automatic, and Id prefer one that was originally left hand drive.
Good luck in whatever you choose, the beauty of Brisbane is, most everything is available here.

Lumina is actually a rebadge Aussie trash car - dime a dozen there, namely the "Commonwhore". Typical no taste yobo car. Good for chewing tyres but terrible around bends.
Supra not that much better... GTR anyday of the week!

Skylines are nice, very true. One of the guys in my building has a really sweet one but I don't know, i've just never really liked them. To each his own though.

Very much agree - to each their own. Just that when you prefer handling over power and like Supras - its just contraWakerleytory.
