    My Wakefield experience

    Hi everyone,

    So i was at work and my boss told me that i was being sent to Canberra for new product training.

    The training was completed over two days.

    The best part of the whole experience was being sent to Wakefield Park in order to put Audi's best cars through their paces.
    It was all very controlled, we had a lead car (Either S8 or S6) and we followed them around the track.
    Down the straight they kept the speed pretty limited but absolutely cranked it up through the bends.
    They had cones marking where you should start braking, where the Apex is etc.

    The highlight of my day was driving this beast (manual too) flat out around the track
    GTI. Leather.
    tint,Eibach pro-kit,Whiteline adjustable swaybars,Forge s/brace,BMC,Forge T.I.P & D.V, Cupra R, APR. EBC & 3''dump pipe

    And so, Mitch, what was the good reason you have -- any reason actually, for not inviting us good Canberra folk? We're all aspiring Audi owners!
