Three Tauranga children will be motoring around, tackling life at new speeds, since receiving shiny new wheels this morning.
Local BMW dealer, Coombes Johnston, has teamed up with charity Go baby Go, to give customised mini-BMWs to children with disabilities.
Four-year-old Kaleb Carter was the first to receive his new
wheels this morning and was quick to take the controls.
His mum, Ms Carter, said the car would mean Kaleb, who has cerebral palsy, was able to keep up with his older brothers now.
"He can get out with the kids. He's got his own little way of moving about that's just something more fun," she said.
