I think i need some lessons on driving techs..

Hi-

I've been driving rx8 for...about 2.5 years now..and it was my first manual car.

I don't have problem with everyday use driving.

but i guess i need some lessons for enhanced driving skills. Like shifting, clutch works, cornering..etc etc...

are there any place where i can actually attend near sydney area?( maybe.. some sort of club or school thingy that teaches you? )

I'm feeling by driving skills are pretty bad :[

Maccaa: why is it downside T-T...haha

well i found about Peter's..from google.. but was too costly for me.

I had no idea how much it will cost...basically my expectation was around $100..
it was something like $250 if i'm not wrong..

I guess i will have to stick with my own personal effort and practice :p

Fair enough. Sorry if I sounded a bit tough on you.

Might help though if you tell us what you've already found out before you ask the question. Most of us would have confirmed that you're unlikely to get a course for under $250.
