Big Cry in the US on the 8th.

15th is a possibility but promised my wide I'd take a week off then (she might not want to spend it touring a LR factory Confused )

Don't try and plan round me - I'm out of the country more than I'm in it but if I'm about and not pre-committed, I'd love to come along. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS

The tour is going to be the morning of Friday 15th April.

Get there for 08:30ish the tour starts at 09:00 sharp.

We are having a 'special' tour that will give us more of the Defender build and will only involve the Defender. You can take the other tours if you want.

The price is normally £45, however we are getting it for £30.

There are 20 places available I have taken 4 of these, so there are 16 left. Places allocated will be on a first pay first booked basis.

Contact info
The Experience Centre is having a make over this week so I have been asked to get guys to wait till Monday next week before you call and make your bookings.

Contact Cat on 01217004619 tell her that you are with the Defender group and the password is Discoballs.

Address for the centre.

Land Rover Experience – Solihull
Land Rover
Lode Lane
Solihull
West Midlands
B92 8NW

Directions from M42, Junction 5
Take A41 towards Solihull.
Stay on Solihull by-pass; do NOT take slip road to Solihull town centre.
Go straight ahead at the first set of traffic lights (it is wise to be in the right hand lane).
Turn right at the second set of traffic lights into Yew Tree Lane.
Follow this road (the name changes to Damson Parkway) for some time until you arrive at mini roundabout.
Go straight ahead at the roundabout to enter Land Rover through Gate D2 and report to the security gatehouse for further instructions.


Directions from M42, Junction 6
Take A45 towards Birmingham.
Stay on the A45 until you arrive at the first set of traffic lights.
Turn left at these traffic lights into Damson Parkway.
Follow this road through another set of traffic lights until you reach a mini roundabout.
Turn right at the roundabout to enter Land Rover through Gate D2 and report to the security gatehouse for further instructions. 130's have feeling's as well you know Smile

Can't make that date unfort.

Perhaps later in the year, we could look to organise another one for those that can't make it. Don't mind organising etc in due course.

Enjoy it chaps Thumbs Up Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless.
