| Olympic Diver Becomes Learner Driver Tom Daley Dives Behind The Wheel Of A MINITeam GB London 2012 hopeful, and now learner driver Tom Daley has taken delivery of a new MINI One D Hatch just days after his 17th birthday. Tom is a member of the BMW London 2012 Performance Team, an initiative designed to provide Team GB and Paralympics GB with support as they prepare for the Games on and off the field. Over the coming months, alongside his rigorous Olympic training, including preparation for the July FINA World Championships in China, Tom will take his first driving lessons in his new MINI. Supported by MINI UK, he will also be enrolled onto the MINI Drivers at Goodwood programme, the UK’s first dedicated motor circuit-based young driver training programme which is focused specifically on teaching safety and developing good driving habits. Speaking at the handover of the car Tom said “like every other 17 year old I can’t wait to get behind the wheel of my first car, but in my case having my driving licence will be a huge help in my training and preparation schedule for the Olympic Games. When I learn a new dive, it’s all about practising until I get it right. I’ll apply the same practice and determination to learning to drive.” |

| Ah that's funny, and good that we are all inclusive, I want to buy a Range Rover Evoke next year and hoping to keep my Copper S too... If I can't afford to then at least I can stay in the club as I LOVE MINI's! |

| So sad, even more so that he didn't get to watch Tom in the 2012 Olympics |

Agree but as BMW Mini are sponosing him/ Olympics then I am sure Mini will keep it looking pristine as they can not have publicity shots with a dented Mini!! |
