Audi Factory Tour / Euro Road Trip Update

[P_G]

P_G I can't commit at present apologies.

No problem, thanks for letting me know.

Can do of course. My only cocner with a large number of cars / people is getting enough accomodation in the same place for everyone. I was guestimating on 15-20 people and we have 11 so far and a possible 3-4 others at present.

I'll give those who originally expressed interest time who haven't replied to advise whether they are still want to attend ad then ask others.

i only do 5 star !!! ...................................................

in fact you dont need to worry bout a room for me, ill just pull a bird and stay at hers !!!! lol .............................

You can pay for the rest of us to stay in your 5 Star hotels then! I'm looking at accommodation over the weekend and will post up a list of alternatives and hopefully prices for you all to look at on a separate thread.

OK, so I have spoken to our man at Audi for organising tours and we can tour the R8/Quattro GmbH production facility (all one place) from 11am in the morning and the D4 A8 and perhaps A6 after lunch say 2pm and be away from there for 3.30pm-4.00pm. It is four hours to Davis from there or we can stay local. It is also 2.5 to 3 hours from Nurnburgring to Neckarsulm but all Autobahn so the times are 'conservative'

There is also this place near Neckarsulm to look at which is all big boys toys;

Everything from cars to tanks to the Tupolev TU-144 if we were to stay local after the factory tour.

What do you all think?

[johninspain]
