DRIVE TIME > >

It all started with a lawnmower!! Lynne happened to mention to Paul Bennett of Sytner BMW at one of The Business Network lunches, how fed up I was that I had to take Lynne’s son Ryan’s petrol lawnmower to be repaired, as it wouldn’t fit in the back of his 3 series BMW Touring (2006 model) - a note must be made here that it fits quite easily into the back of my Ford Focus Estate (2003 model) Paul could not see how that was correct and offered Lynne a test drive in a new BMW Touring. As we were going to Betws-y-Coed in North Wales for a weekend the following month, Lynne gratefully accepted the offer and, as arranged, Paul dropped off to our door a brand new BMW 3 series 320d Touring Sport (just 2000 miles on the clock). We set off on a Friday morning, me, Lynne, my grown up son Sean and my mother (aged 82 and still not grown up!) and set off not looking forward to the 4 ½ hour drive. The first thing everyone noticed was how much space there was inside, in the back as well as in the front and how comfy the seats were, which really helped as it meant my mum slept part of the way and didn’t always criticise my driving!
