First ride in a 135i and I was utterly amazed. The power, the delivery and those brakes! Very impressive

spotted me losing my licence thanks to this drive.....

will be contesting to keep it though.

What happened Ryan?

smarm · 12-03-2008, 12:50 AM

Given it's a public forum, I won't post all the details, but caught at excessive speed > 50km/h then the limit on a deserted road on the weekend.

The fine/points don't bother me, the 12 months automatic suspended sentence is the killer. Spoke to a couple of barristers today though, should be easily reduced in front of a magistrate given my job. Learnt my lesson though, it's staying on the track...

AussieRacer · 12-03-2008, 02:38 AM

swarm glad to hear you are okay and the lesson has been learnt.

I took up racing when I had a "close" call with the law and realised I needed a legal release. It just so happened to be more fun on and off track than I expected and made me a better driver on the road too (although more aggressive/confident).

Did you get the letter already? Or it's pretty much guarnteed. Did you get on the Vicroads site?

Feel bad for you man, we were having a bloody good run too!

WAY · 12-03-2008, 09:40 PM

Ryan, I hear it's up on your Facebook status? Doesn't sound as quick as what you were doing in the TT with me tailing you. Haha.

I'm sure there is a couple here. And it may be for sale, but you will need to be willing to part with half a mil for it.
