"Z8 in our exhibit"
They came to pick it up and saw your makeshift auto-x course set up ...

Nick,

Normally one of the top sales guys gets
to drive the exhibit vehicle from the office
to the show (about 3 hour drive).
This time, BMW said, "Nein! Vee vill
schippen zee Zed-8 to zee show direkt.
No fahr-prufung und fahr-schule!
Vee vill komm to pick up at end of show.
Verstehen Sie?!?!"

Needless to say, the Z8 left us in exactly
the same condition as we got it in. If we're
good little boys, maybe we'll get the
new seven or the mini next year!

John
