Gentlemen,

I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction of how to go about sorting a tour of the hallowed Lamborghini Factory.

I seem to have an incorrect e mail for the factory?

Myself and 3 friends are going in 8 March for 5 days, without the other halfs!!


Thanks in advance.

Read this month's EVO. There's an email address in there to arrange factory tours!

Also... if its not too much trouble, would people be able to suggest suitable other activities to pursue..Ferrari Museum, Maserati, Ducati?

Also, are there many bars etc within the confines of Bologna?

Going to try and fit as much as we are able to in our 5 days.

Thanks

The Ferrari museum is worth the few Euros to get in and have a look around. Might be worth standing around the edge of Fiorano too, just in case something new is out and about. Apart from that Maranello's a bit dead.

The Lambo tour is excellent though.

edit: the phone number I have listed on the bumf we were given is +39 051 681 77 16

Sounds like an great trip.
Not sure whats there, if anything, but I'd investigate the Bimota factory aswell, at Rimini (I'm a Bimota fan).
I had a tour around the Lambo factory about 20 years ago. We'd turned up on a bank holiday and the factory was on shutdown and no tours. After a while with the security guard, who spoke no english, he pointed to his watch and held three fingers up. We returned at 3pm and he gave us an exclusive tour, went thro the marine engine department, down the production line, and he let us start a brand new car at the end. But the best part was after he'd locked the works up at the end of his rounds. A smile came over his face and he gestured for us to follow him. We went to the back of the works to an old warehouse, he unlocked a swing door, reached in and clicked on the flourescent lights. They flickered on, like in the movies, to reveal rows of cars under dust sheets. He walked thro pulling the covers off to reveal every lambo I could think of I'd guess these cars are the ones now in the museum.

Try sending an e-mail to cristina.guizzardi@lamborghini.com

Cristina looks after the museum and also takes people round the factory, so if you send her a note of dates and number of people you would like to visit the factory, i'm sure she'll be able to help.

She may be away - she normally gets back to you very soon..
If the worst comes to the worst and shes not, she will defo be in the Museum to the right of the main entrance. She doesnt start work till 10am tho, so go after that and let her know you emailed her previously.I cannot see her turning you down, she is lovely

Alternatively, you could phone and ask for her by name. If she's there and not too busy, it shouldn't be a problem to talk to her and make your arrangements.

I've had problems with e-mails to the workshop manager before, but we thank that was due to an attachment I was trying to send him. The firewall they have in place is a bit scarey by all accounts.

LamboChick,

thanks for that. I may give her a call. I take it she speaks reasonable English (Like me..) Hopefully get things sorted soon.

Do you have the address of the factory / museum (same place?)

The museum is the same place as the factory, in the small town of Sant'Agata. It's fairly obvious and difficult to miss.
