Visit to Factory 15th April
Anyone fancy a visit to the Land Rover factory?

There are different levels of the tour, and morning or afternoon options. Please take a look at the link I posted earlier and decide what you want to do and discuss here. What we normally do is the 1/2 day in the morning then take the option to eat at the LRE centre (this is an extra cost) or convoy to the local pub for a pub lunch and chat. Those that may want to do the off road driving in the afternoon can then return to the LRE centre to do so.
We can tailor the tour a little suit our needs (Defender I expect) however we will be in groups of 4 or 5 or there abouts so if a few want D4/RRS or FFRR they can stick together and do their tour.

I will post some dates next week.

How to book
Once we have the preferred date agreed. I will PM all those signed up with the contact details and password, this will ensure that we are all booked as the same party. You will then call the LRE centre and make your own payment.

Keep the questions coming Thumbs Up 130's have feeling's as well you know Smile

Mine is due to be built in May - if the timing works out we may see them glueing it together Laughing John

Having looked at the site I'd be fine with the "bronze" tour. I don't fancy watching someone else drive the course and also don't feel the need to drive it myself when I'm out on numerous lanes quite a bit anyway.

looks very interesting and I would like to be there, but the cost for me will be extremely high Sad Sad

Cheers and please sneak some photos of the "Icon" if you see it Wink Eduardo

Bronze would be OK for me too. Would be nice to see how many nuts and bolts they have left over after building one Whistle

JK No the other left . . .
