2 Fast Motors car donation to Media Pool Competition

"This is the first time in a long time that a car dealer has actually given a car to a competition - it's quite rare these days," says Media Pool Competition chairman Colin Taimbari.
"Normally, sponsors give money and uniforms - but not a car - to the organising committee of the competition to assist with transport in running the competition. I am grateful that a little-known car dealer like 2 Fast Motors can come out in a big way to support the competition. The car, which carries the company logo, will be a mobile advertising for 2 Fast Motors and people should go and buy cars there as well as get their cars tinted, spray painted, waxed and fixed etc. "

The quest for the Holy Grail begins!

Used car dealer 2 Fast Motors has donated a K40, 000 vehicle to the Media Pool Competition.

This was revealed by deputy chairman Joe Kaiyo during the launch last Friday and will certainly offset the transport burden of managing the affairs of the competition.
