Ginetta Factory Tours.

These are run on the second Tuesday of every month for between 25 – 30 people

The tour takes around 1 hour and are run from 18:00 – 18:30, the tour takes in the Ginetta factory as a whole specifically the design side, assembly line and a number of special projects that we are undertaking at the moment.

The factory is near Leeds

Any one interested in going?

Sounds great but don't think I could get there for 6. Only on a Sunday morning! Too much traffic. Great idea. Whereabouts in Leeds! Might find a way round it.

Ginetta cars is off junction 47 of the newish M1 link road, near Garforth and very easy to find.
There website is ginettacars.com
I went there in January for a visit and found it very interesting and no area's where off limit. Well worth getting off work earlier.
They only do Tuesday nights. So please come and join Dave & me for the night.

Regards
John

At least we make the effort and go in to work, unlike the Southern softees who stay home because it's been snowing a bit :D :D

I've just been out in me string vest to take the whippet for a walk!
