Would anyone be interested in a Lamborghini factory tour?

Who actually organises the main event? They don't have any ideas on days yet?
For such a large event seems very lax on getting things organised.
Spa Italia is already booked, with Dates and that's September next year.

+1. Seems that way with this wee event too. I can't see this happening... unless someone takes the bull by the horns and lays it all down, NOW.
A lot of people are interested in this wee road trip... but so far we still don't know where we're going, the route we're taking, the dates we're thinking of going, costs, accomodation arrangements, ferries, etc etc etc.
I've just spent from the last 5 hours on this and route planning. We could book everything now and finalise everything this week. But without the one date we're waiting for we can't do anything.

So, we're waiting on the date of the international Punto meet... which appears to be an event run by teenagers ?
The more I look it appears not:

Indeed, that didn't come out the way I meant it to :-/
My point being, they seems to be pretty disorganised, with not a lot of info on when the event is likely to be.... I mean, how long should we wait for them to make their minds up ? Perhaps we should just set a date, and stick with it ? Maybe make an educated guess, and if it happens to coincide with the IPM, then, awesome.
If not, it'd still be awesome.
Out of interest, what route did you come up with ?
Fair enough then. I should amend that to "it appears to be run by a group of disorganised sunseekers"
*tongue firmly in cheek*

No worries, written words can be read very differently to their intention.

I like to splash the cash don't get me wrong, but feel all that is far too much for one trip, but cost and time wise.

Roughly 72 gallons.
roughly 330 litres
£1.40 / litre to be on safe side
£462 fuel.
£90 ferry
£28 vignette
£23 per lap ring
£11 ferrari museum
£34 lambo museum
+Hotels.
+Food
etc

All what is far too much?

I know what a trip to the Ring costs, and this will be about 5 times that, with accommodation and food etc etc.
How much are toll roads etc?
