Default Factory Tour

Check another one off the bucket list. On May 9 at 1:45 precisely I am invited as a party of one to tour the Porsche factory in Zuffenhausen.

Its great fun. The only sad thing us that they take away your phones and cameras so no pics allowed.

How does one earn such an honour?

Either you buy a new Porsche or have someone you know buy a new Porsche and invite you to come along.
But I am sure there is a way to get a factory tour without buying a new Pcar.

It's not hard at all. Just go to the museum website and you'll find an email address. Then just ask. They confirmed the next day.

Don't be surprised if there are a few extra people on the tour. It happens all the time when they get a last minute request. Even the group tours are small anyway - no more than 12 people. Have fun! Don't forget your UCR membership card for free entry to the museum.
