My friend won tickets through Vodafone for us to go on a VIP factory tour this saturday 4th sept where we'll have a tour of the Technology Centre in Woking and then meet Lewis Hamilton. Anyone else on here going or been on a similar tour?

I dare you to tell ron that his car has an oil leak.
Seriously, no i havent, but i would'nt mind, that sounds like it will be ace going round the factory

He's having a busy day on Saturday then as he's at the smart festival then the Mercedes Driving Academy at Brooklands on Saturday too.

Apparently he is at the factory for just one hour, how long he'll spend with us, who knows?! Not long I expect.

I assume I should leave my Red Bull jacket in the car.

have been a few times for very interesting looks round - friend of mine from uni works there...

[soxboy]

When he's been talking, please ask him:

'Lewis, when did you move to the mid-Atlantic?'

[JAM35F]

Originally another friend was going, but he works for Red Bull and has been called in to work in China this weekend, extra hours for being naughty boys and not winning at the weekend I assume.

ask him if he'd accept a special advisors role from William Hague...

[_Batty_]

ask him what he thinks of this?

[TonyHetherington]

Wow, sounds great fun :thubmup:

[williamp]

well done. Very jealous.

If they ask what you'd like to drink, ask for some bottled water- that French stuff. Vettel, isnt it??

Or ask if the new Mclaren road car will have Webber carbs

Or, tell them you bought a Maclaren, but one of the handles broke, and can one of their technicians have a quick look at it while you're there....

Many moons ago, an employee actually left a Ferrari cap on his rear shelf. (not sure if it was him or someone else) The MMS McLaren Managed Sevices (Security team) actually came to him during the day and had him go and hide it from view.

This was during the Ron era though. A man who probably seethes with rage everytime he sees a Ferrari on the road.
