Mileages and times are only approximate and will vary on chosen route and timings do not allow for traffic and diversions.

For the Ladies who really don't want to spend lots of time looking at cars I'm looking at alternative activities for Friday in Stuttgart such as sight seeing, retail therapy etc and will divulge these to those interested who have booked nearer to the departure date!

I am also gathering suggestions for places to go on the free day or as always you can do your own thing.

I m told that the restaurant at the Porsche museum is rather special and a must to dine in, prices at this time are unknown but will be researched when booking in January!

Additional Costs

These are all 2015 prices and are per person. Prices may have gone up slightly by September 2016. Even allowing for inflation, €40 PP should cover all museum entries or €60 if including lunch at the Schlumpf & Sinsheim museums.

  • The Schlumpf museum is €9 to €11 PP or €21 PP for entry & lunch.
  • Entrance to the Porsche Museum is free to club members on production of a valid membership card. The guided museum tour is approx €3 per person (depending on the numbers in each tour group, with a maximum of 25 people in a group) and the factory tour is €6 each.
  • Group prices for the Auto & Technik MUSEUM SINSHEIM are €16 PP for museum & Imax, or €26.50 PP including a lunch with drink. I will sort this out when all spaces booked and place the group booking with them having canvassed those coming if they want the inclusive meal or not?
  • Lunch.
  • The tour distance including the trips into Stuttgart and Sinsheim is approx 1300 to 1400 miles depending on how far you travel on the free day for which I've allowed 100 miles for the day. Current fuel prices in the countries being visited at the moment average €1.40 per litre giving a typical fuel cost at current prices of £220 to £260 for cars averaging 25 to 30mpg on long journeys. I will do an update during the summer nearer the departure date.

Booking

The deposit is 20%, £260, per couple with the balance payable 10 weeks prior to the 13th September departure date.
