The misses was offered VIP as a guest of BMW and tickets arrived last Sat for this Sun which includes 2 admission tickers, lunch and refreshments throughout the day in the BMW pavillion and the best part the day starting at 0800 at the Goodwood race circuit, tuition one on one driving of the M range on track with Tiff Needell in attendance giving hot laps.
Thank you BMW for the nice intro to the brand.......... Festival of Speed is well worth it if you have never done before, I have really enjoyed in the past. |

Nah she went through Park Lane BMW for her order as its right near her work
She did enquire about the 1M through Synter Canary Wharf but wasn't happy with the sales try on from the finance guy not realising she is an international sales manager for a large company herself so she wasn't having any of the bull so Park Lane she found totally different in their approach and she knew what she wanted before walking in.....I think they were also impressed with her passion for speed having done a number of track days, many nurburgring trips and so on lol |
