Default Driver Training Courses

Hey Guys

Just wondering if there is anywhere in Tas that has driving courses?

Ive done an introductory course at Angelsea in Vic, which was great fun.

Now Im after something that is a level up from that, say a basic advanced course to start off with.

I was aiming to do the BMW one, which is about $450 IIRC, but thats in Vic.

I was hoping there would be something down there aswell, preferable where you use their cars instead of yours. If I did what I did in the previous course I would have killed the EL..LOL I was in a BA n/a XR6 which copped the punishment well..LOL

Cheers

Allan

Speaking of them Tim, when I did the FPV course a few weeks ago, Terry Bowe was asking if the club would be interested in doing a club only day with them when they come down again later in the year. Remind me to give you their card when i next see you (hopeless memory)

Thats more like what I am after, although do you use your own car? I dont think mine would be much fun.
