JamesK Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hey guys I have a friend who is still on her L's and she's not really confident to drive on the roads yet (No she's not driving my car lol) she has an Excel.....don't laugh...I know its hard, but anyway I was wondering if anyone knows of a big open space where she wont hit anything (Although i really wouldn't worry about that since I doubt we'll be going fast enough to do significant damage). I know in the Canada IKEA would have massive carparks but I haven't seen such here anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Also something totally unrelated, awhile ago I saw this Deca (or similar video of 2 Skylines battling) I think it was on YouTube, the course seemed like one of the harder teirs, and was wondering if anyone knows what i'm talking about, the significant feature of the vid is that the cars were almost in complete unison throughout the course. It was quite amazing and I really want to find and bookmark it, thanks for you help EDIT: Just realized.....Don't hurt me Lauren! I love Excels I really do....I'm a wannabe Excel owner deep down inside honest! EDIT2: Were located near the Caulfield East Area Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/242052-where-to-find-nice-open-area-ie-carpark-for-learner/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

R31Nismoid Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Caufield east? Easy. Just drive up dandy rd about 10mins or so. There is a masive carpark on the right @ the sandown hotel or whatever. Usually fairly quiet later on @ night on a weeknight. Ensure you have a driver off thier P's though. P's cannot instruct. As for youtube - just use "DECA SAU" etc as option, you'll find heaps Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/242052-where-to-find-nice-open-area-ie-carpark-for-learner/#findComment-4222394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
