I have to give the factory a number for the driving experience I have said 10 people and most likely 15 for the factory tour.
I will need to collect the money for the driving experience as this needs to be paid up front, other than this £28 per person for 10 or £42 per person for 5. I am trying to keep to 10 spots to keep the price as low as possible. May be possible to increase the number later on if available. They will not hold the booking long and have already said that it can be booked by others.(factory tour is fine, that's all booked). Please contact me via pm to arrange payment. |

Just had confirmation from the factory and once driving experience is paid I'll forward on your hospitality passes / reservation.
There are do's and don'ts, please read this section of the email, also all visitor parking is explained and how to get access to the facility. I have opted to eat at the restaurant (possibly free), this is a corporate experience and not the usual factory tour, I don't think people realise how much more access and an of an experience this opportunity is. Last time we got to see the crash test facility. |

Enquiries of flights from Scotland to Gothenburg on the days in question have proved disappointing if not non existent. One flight takes 14 hours with one change so goodness knows where it goes to. Apparently it is 631 miles from Glasgow to Gothenburg and a maximum 2 hour flight direct.
So unfortunately I will have to withdraw. It would be very expensive to travel south and fly from Stansted or wherever. I will continue to check out the alternatives but I am not hopeful. Having experienced the visit to the factory, test track and museum I am sure that all those who decide to go will thoroughly enjoy the experience. I would have loved to repeat the experience. I will follow your progress. |

Not sure if this will work but Danish shipping ferry company called Regina Line claim to be going to start a service between Harwich and Esberg in Denmark from Easter. I don't know dates and times of their autumn schedule.

London LHR-GOT with SAS (nonstop!)
12/10 1845-2145 Hrs Return on 14/10 at either 0645 Hrs (land LHR 0755 Hrs) or at 1635 Hrs (land 1735 Hrs) at the very nice cost of only £100.01 return!! Bus from Landvetter Airport (GOT) to City takes approx 20 mins. Ryanair fly from same airport in October as "Gothenburg City Airport - Säve" is closing down to commercial traffic this spring. I wonder if Ryanair could match that once one adds costs for a seat, coffee, this that and the other etc etc?!
