Title: 3ma09 Update - Fiat Mirafiori factory visit confirmed Post by: Thotos on May 04, 2009, 12:18:56 PM Our Italian member Michele (effe131) has just got the word from Fiat Auto that our planned visit to the Fiat Mirafiori factory will go ahead.
We need to arrive at 9:30am and will be divided into two groups. Group 1 will visit the Fiat Idea and Lancia Musa assembly lines while group 2 takes to the Mirafiori test track. The two groups will swap places after about an hour so the total tour should be about 2 hours. More details will be posted as we get them.

Theo, I've been following the email trail and understand that the gathering will be split into two groups of equal number. My experience of having factory tours in Italy is that the company usually supply an interpreter (if the group is not of Italian origin) as a Guide up and down the lines. Can we ask Michele to remind Fiat that a large number of us don't readily understand spoken Italian :-\ and could we please have an English interpreter for one of the groups? I'm so looking forward to going! ;D 8) Title: Re: 3ma09 Update - Fiat Mirafiori factory visit confirmed Post by: parrish on May 04, 2009, 01:52:27 PM I for one will be suitably attired in my 131 'T' shirt! ;D
Excellent news, getting excited already. Title: Re: 3ma09 Update - Fiat Mirafiori factory visit confirmed Post by: kev131 on May 04, 2009, 03:25:59 PM Well done Michele (effe131). Great to have someone with local knowledge organising and helping out.
This time in 3 weeks I (we) will be on the high seas (hopefully)! ;) Title: Re: 3ma09 Update - Fiat Mirafiori factory visit confirmed Post by: simon131 on May 04, 2009, 04:35:50 PM I hope that the seas aren't too 'high' Kev :-[ but you are quite right, not very long to go now ;D
