yassa Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 a fair few lessons and 1yr but mainly due to issues with bsm messing everything up and my first instructor making me run his errands and teaching me nothing, been doing drifting since i was 15 (now 18) so plenty of previous driving experience, passed my test 3rd time.
