Goffey"s demeanour was deliberately understated, calm, and practical when dealing with all road tests on During a race among all the presenters in SEAT Ibizas in 1996, Clarkson noted that the last time Goffey had been on a track, he had been "tearing the tires off an Audi 80". Later Goffey was one of the presenters, alongside Richard Hammond and Brendan Coogan, on the first series of Dream Deals, a motoring show which aired on the Men & Motors channel, in 2001.
