Default I am so p$@#%%$ed !!!!

Well,

To make a long story short. I will be in Stuttgart in a few weeks. I have tried and tried to get a factory tour.

I had to book tickets to go and hadn't heard back from Porsche. I would have had to arrive two days early but since I hadn't heard anything, I booked tickets to arrive when I needed to be there on buisness. This morning I got confirmation that I had a spot on the tour. However, my plane tickets don't get me there on time!

How damn frustrating. I finally get a spot and the airline tickets are a snafu.

I am just venting. This will be my 5th attempt at getting into to thefactory.

Did you talk to Frau Mauz directly (either by email, phone or fax)? Perhaps there is some flexibility.

Yes, thats who arranged things for me.

However, the flexibility isn't there. I arrive in Stutgart on the 10th. Fly to Hamburg on the 11th. Return to Stuttgart on the 20th and then fly back to the US on teh 23rd.

The factory closes after the 16th. The week I am there and its open, I will be in Hamburg. Unfortunately I must work and my schedule isn;t really felxible. I could have went a few day early though but its too late.

Slip the pilot a grand and tell him to hit the afterburners!

On the tour are you allowed to take photos?

move the plane tickets earlier. Most airlines simply charge a 100 dollar fee for that.

Change your flight to get there ealier.

I've been to the factory twice myself, but never been able to get into the factory tour.
