All of the prodrive tours for "Children in need" seem to be fully booked (but you can still arrange after 22nd
You can also still help by bidding on some Memrobillia HERE
Tony
PS anything signed by Petter could be worth double after his winning the Rally and Championship this weekend

I had a private tour with 4 other people about two years back, it was for free and included a pen/cuflink set, posters and stickers
Because their PR guy went to college with my brothers' mate!

Went last night (Thursday 13th)
Top couple of hours.
Nice scooby WRC engine 'If we took off the inlet restrictor, we'd be running 600bhp'
Nice gearbox 'When the driver hits the paddle to change gear, the electronics take over, cut the revs/fuel, open clutch, shift gear, dump clutch, and back on the power, and all this takes.... 18 milliseconds'
Nice little gift, in a cool trick case.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
How do I book for Prodrive live?

Dates aren't set yet, but take a look at www.prodrive.com in a couple of weeks as the tours are now a regular feature of ours.
These tours will take place approximately once a month on our motorsport site in Banbury, participation will be on a first come, first served basis. The cost is £20.00 per person (which is given to charity).

Hi guys (all those who went on the 17th)...
Wasn't it just brilliant?!
Didn't Prodrive do a fantastic job of the tour?!
I'd defintely go again if they do it next year - would like to see more of the assembly and paintshop areas too.
All in all a great night, and well worth the trip down there.
I was the guy with the Canon EOS, so if anyone who went on the 17th wants some of the pics, let me know and I'll see what I can do!
Cheers,
Richard

So, who was who then last night?
As I say, I was the guy with the Canon EOS camera, came with my mate in his Forester.
We're from Staffordshire.
I drive bugeye GX.

Wasn't the visit great?!?
I'm the guy who turned up 5min late driving the MY98 Impreza Wagon.
All of the Prodrive staff were very friendly and helpful and made us all feel very welcome.
Great to see all those gorgeus rally Scoobs!
Seeing Petter's Rally GB winning car was a real bonus, but seeing Burnsies 99 and 00 cars was the real treat for me.
It's just a shame that the day was overshadowed by the god-awful news of his illness.
All in all that was a total bargin for £20!
If you missed it then you REALLY missed out!
Rjlinney, if you wouldn't mind e-mailing me some of your pics I'd really appreciate it.
Great night
Tony

PaulPalmer - You'll love it - take plenty of film or digital memory!
So, who was the lucky guy with the STi then?
(Think there was more than one...)
What do these people do for a living? How do they persuade the missus? How can they afford the insurance?!!
Glad you got back ok, Shropshire Guy. Was much easier getting back than getting there! Traffic was a nightmare on the M6, down to the M5 on the way.
Was a great night - would defintely go again if they do it next year. Shame we were not there last Monday to meet Petter and Tommy!!
