juanchan Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Could be interested, date dependent. Might it be an idea to move this thread to National Events section? Seeing as there appears to be a fair few people willing to travel if something like this went ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 i dont see a problem with kids being there, if the let us two in they should have no problems letting kids in I think the FAQ said something baout a minimum age *goes to check* Yep - minimum age: 7 yep - it also mentions a limit of 40 people, which is looking like it might be kinda low. However, as I'm going to be asking for special treatment anyway, I'll see what I can do. I really like you Ste in your new events organiser role It always best to pick someone without a life. Ahh, thanks mate. I'd have got back to you sooner Bernard, but unlike you, who was sat posting on here, I was out and about all weekend having a life! Might it be an idea to move this thread to National Events section? Good idea - but I'll see what the answer is when I ask about limiting numbers first, just in case they say tough luck. has any one attended this before whats the normal day runnings do we get to belt around on thier tracks in on of thier demo cars Tour FAQ & outline here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 A few years wgo I went on a tour of a GM plant in the UK, it was very, very interesting and I was gobsmacked at the level of automation they used in the production process. The tour guide was superb and explained the systems they used in great detail. I'll be a cetain for this if it can be arranged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be a cetain for this if it can be arranged I managed to get to Everett in Washington State last month and took the tour around the Boeing factory, it was good to see how they moved the parts of the plane around like lego. They make the 747, 767 & 777 aircraft there. I'm not really a plane man but, had the afternoon free so, thought I'd check out the largest building by volume on the planet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Not yet, they dont start opening their doors till April. I'm on the list to be notifed of what's going on & when.... I did call them a couple of weeks ago to ask about the chance of increasing numbers and possible special treatment but didn't get very far, but that's probably because I was asking the tour-organising people att he factory and not Toyota UK marketing/PR people..... I shall be trying a different tack soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgtX80 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I work there, its pretty crappy & they dont let you see a lot of the areas. Youll mainly get to see the car having the engine put in & the monkeys putting in the interior. The tour doesnt come past me anymore on quality control. Think you see the weld shop & assembly plant(s) wont go in plastic shop, you can only go in the paint shop wearing a baby suit to prevent seeds & contamination & im certain they dont do that. They should show you the graveyard, all the cars deemed uneconomical to repair & all the cars the idiots crash on their way to the yard You have 0% chance of getting within viewing distance of the test track & -100% of getting a ride round it. I got a go when i started Mostly i see school kids & old folk on the tour which is in lil golf buggy train things. Were making the Cor...sorry Auris in my shop & Avensis in the other. They do a 280bhp V6 version of the auris in Japan. Why do we always get the shite cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
