Me and my brother are going on the 21st. He had a one week work experience at Prodrive last year.

For anyone who's not already aware, Prodrive are offering tours of their Banbury works during November in aid of Children In Need.

Tours last two hours and are only £20 per person!

http://www.prodrive.com/copydefault2.asp?M=1&CM=280

I think that this is a fantastic way to raise money for an excellent cause, and says a lot about the people down at Prodrive.

I'm booked on one already, and I can't wait!!

Prodrive are also auctioning off a load of rally bits and pieces, including a WRC spoiler, bumper, door and even Solberg's boots!!

You of course will be treated to great tour but you will also presented with a Subaru keepsake and Prodrive litrature

I have been lucky enough to go the Banbury tour and the Warwick site 3 times ( PPP, Prodrive Live and Dealer's day). Prodrive's curtousy is second to none

So book up early to avoid disappiontment

IMHO AFAICR etc.

Question

As far as I know, there were still places free this morning, however I do know that places are filling up quickly.

Send another email to pudsey@prodrive.com and see what he can do for you!

I'm booked in for Monday the 17th btw - is anyone else here going on the 17th?

Regards,
Richard

Am booked in but now my 6 year old can't come (age limit is 11 YO).
They say that they can do smaller tours during weekdays for kiddies though.
