I don't know where we are all travelling from, but there must be a point en-route where we can meet up and convoy :D .
Any suggestions?

Oh, and as I can't get the Prodrive pdf to work :roll: , some directions would be nice.

Blobster :D

Not sure where we'll be meeting up. I'm coming up from the M25 end of the M40.

There are some details on the location here
http://www.prodrive.com/defaultflash.asp?M=1

I just looked on www.rac.co.uk to get directions. (Prodrives postcode is on the first link) :)

If half the cars are at NEC for the Autosport show (starts the next day) and the other half are out on the recce for the Monte will there be anything to see? Have we chosen a bad date?

Trust we're not planning a group photo because I'll be in a muddy Cavalier..... See you all tomorrow. Ooh I'm all excited, Prodrive tomorrow and Autosport show the next day!

We didnt have a choice on the date, they only do 1 Tour a month !!!

We were very lucky to get a tour.

There will be plenty to see, trust me, The Museum is packed with history ( and plenty of scoobs )

The workshops will have engines being built along with private customers rally cars being prepped and built.

I have just checked with the SWRT workshop and we have plenty for you to see including the Monte Carlo cars and as Brian mentioned, we also have cars we are preparing for customers in build which Ben will show you.

The tour will also include a look at all the manufacturing processes involved in preparing the Subaru World Rally Car.

See you all tomorrow! :wink:

have fun guys, you'll enjoy it!

jus watch out in case Sir Richards decides he want to go out in his helicopter!

its very surreal when you hear this mass of noise then look out the window to see a chopper about 3feet from the building!
(i work for Prodrive in case your wondering. Michelle, i dont think we have ever met, i work at the Warwick site) ;)
