Sorry guys, 7 yes and 1 possible is not enough. So it's going to cost £225 instead of £150.
I'm not going to book/reserve the date as for £225 we can all go anytime we like.

Oh well... Rolling Eyes

Maybe I could come with two friends (one also a FFRR owner ). But I just checked flights. Cheapest for the three of us is around 1200£ from Zürich. Just for a one day trip a bit expensive. If anyone knows cheaper flights let me know. Daniel

2005 Range Rover 4.4 V8 Vogue Auto Tonga Green

i must be in the minority but there is no way i'd pay for someone trying to promote their products/sell me something

some years ago i got a visit round Porsche - totally free (was an owner but most FFRR members are - of RR's) - lunch and a drive in any car you fancied - though when i pointed to a Le Mans prepped car they said - sorry no Laughing

Ferrari do free trips through dealers to prospective serious customers

Lamborghini think still free?

do LR charge nowadays for offroad experience? - because when i did some demo's at Dunkeld House it was free?

United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Td6 Vogue SE Auto Java Black

Have to say, seems expensive. I've had a tour around the Halewood plant where they build Freelanders on the same production line as Jaguar X types and was subsequently taken around the onsite offroad course by one of their instructors in a Discovery , all this cost me nothing due to the people I went with , however , I don't think they charge much to go around anyway. I know it's not the Range Rover factory, but the tours are absolutely brilliant, for the sheer scale of production if nothing else. Off-roading experiences aren't too hard to come by , I got my 3rd off road voucher from my dealer last week as a thank you when I took the car in for a service. If the RR tour was cheaper I'd have jumped at the chance, but £225 seems a bit steep even if it does include some off-roading. Steve

If you read the post it is £150 each for a group of 10+.

Sorry Fox, I'd seen the £150 but you needed 10 people to get it at that price, I was just a bit surprised that if say myself and a friend just booked onto a tour it would cost £225 each as individuals. It was this base price that I thought was a bit over the top. Very Happy Steve
