Trip to factory

[rich1231]

Kev,

I know you went on a trip to the fezza factory recently can you tell me what was included?

Rich, it was pretty much everything apart from gifts and extra drinks, dancing girls etc. Flights, all transfers, all food, which except for breakfast had wine (you will NOT go hungry or even peckish..)and the hotel are included. Nev went on it too. Just put your name down- you won't regret it.

£1500 for Biz class and 3 days sound right or was the price different?

No it doesn't, unless that's for two! Seem to recall about £600 per person, but I'll dig out the paperwork this evening. I don't think business class is worth bothering with on flights <3hrs but this could account for the uplift.

I think it was about 575 ish .... certainly less than 600. As Kev says, absolutely superb trip. I have never eaten so much food in 3 days before in my life, and alcohol was on a constant drip. The flight was a fraction over 2 hours. This was with the FOC (and the Grand Touring Club, or something) .... other people may do other trips of course.

Rich,

The one at £1500 is organised by the dealers. Sounds like the one Kev went on is much better value. I've often thought about doing a trip but could never justify the £1500 cost. At £600 its definitely on the cards

Aahhh. So that's why. The trip Nev & I went on was organised by the Ferrari Owners' Club, but I have had similar invites through dealerships and yes, they do cost more. I've no idea how these latter differ from the FOC tour. Up to you Rich- sign up with a dealer tour and probably get something organised soonish, or take pot luck with your name in a hat at the FOC.

Kev

PS Frostie- 9 days!

Drive to the Ferrari Factory, It's great if you have the time. It cost me £1200 for two people, nine days hotel and food etc.. and fuel in the 348 TB.. Oh and a new gearbox rebuilt by the factory while I stayed in Maranello. That's another story.

Cheers
