Is anyone on here going?
It's in their factory in Garforth, Leeds. You get a tour around the factory where they make the cars and their showroom.

Hopefully yes as last year's was brilliant! The factory tour really was access all areas.

We're currently 27 on the list as Lez Dix, either in his Ginetta G33 or my Fiat Coupe.

Last year we took the G33 (it took 3 tanks of fuel to get there & back but well worth it!) but my Coupe has more seats and a roof!

My only concern is whether I want to drive that far when I think Marvin is due a cambelt change. confused

If Lez takes his Ginetta I'll give his son first refusal as I've been before.

Can't make it this weekend - I would have liked to go again as it was great last year but I'm not around. Real shame as it is very local to me.

Why have I only just heard about this?!? I'm also very local.

I'll be there but not in a coupe frown

Due to the weather forecasting rain sleet and snow on the route we decided to take Lez's name off the list (as have lots of others) as we don't want to risk either car. frown However, this was so good last year we are considering rocking up in his repmobile and parking out of site. idea

If you are reasonably local to Garforth and a Pistonhead it may be worth checking to see if you can jump on the list now that some have cancelled. I'll wear my Fiat Coupe Club cap and a Ginetta hoodie just to confuse, so do say hi if you spot me!

I went, it was a great tour around the factory, didn't see any other Coupe owners though.
The car park was a bit disappointing, the rain kept a lot of people away.
