Doing my homework tonight

[Enid_Puceflange]

We are having a launch this weekend of the 2 new models from BMW
The Slightly Odd-Ball 5 series Grand Tourismo (which to be fair to it is a stunning piece of equipment but wierd looking)
And the new X1 model .
Im dead excited as I have never been involved in a new model launch before.
But I got loads of bumph to read up on and I feel like im back in school with the books and $hit

Gc

Good luck - X1 looks nice and a decent size, but haven't seen one in the flesh.

If you need someone to do a long term test in Singapore I'll volunteer

it must be quite cool to be part of a launch.

when mercedes launched the new sprinter van (bear with me here) our local dealer hired cadwell park for the day. sadly they had a 70mph speed limit on the circuit.

i took a couple of vitos out with one of the sales staff and it turns out he races karts and knows the track rather well. encouraged me to break the limit and gave me some great tips for future track days.

free burgers too.

a great way to launch a van!

them vitos are quite fast btw . i mind sitting at 120 mph on a private road coming back from stirling in the cossie and a vito was trying to pass me i droped a cog and went for gold and the boy in the vito just flashed me and pulled back in behind me....

what engines do they have ?
