Bin seit ein paar Tagen im Gespraech mit M.Kotaro ob es moeglich ist noch kurz vor Ende der Produktion des S2000 die Produktionsstaetten in Japan zu besichtigen.
Ich wollte doch unbedingt noch mal sehen wie unser Baby entsteht
Da er M.Uehara gut kennt und auch bei Honda R&D gearbeitet hat und dort viele Leute kennt ist er der ideale Mann dafuer.
Eigentlich hatte ich nur rein privat angefragt aber er hat vorgeschlagen eine Reise zu organisieren fuer mehrere S2000 Fans.
Allerding ist die Teilnehmerzahl auf ca 20 Leute begrenzt.
Wer also ernsthaftes Interesse hat, bitte melden.
Hier die eMail die er mir zukommen liess:
ZitatAlles anzeigenHello Yves,
I have good news. I managed to get some support from Honda R&D Japan regarding the facility tour and I am now seriously planning a "Final S2000 Production Tour". If you could ask your friends who might join and give me feed back as soon as possible, that would be great since I need to toss the information to Japan quite urgently. I might even think about limiting the participants (due to organisation reason) to about 20 person. I will also contact other s2k clubs whether there is interest.
For the date I have unfortunately no alternative. It has to be week 29. Since the production will end by end of July and I will be away from 25th of July.
Plan is to fly to Japan on Friday 10.July, stay for 1 week and return on 19. July. Since I am flexible I could even fly earlier to arrange some things to be prepared for the arrival of the group.
Program how I currently think is the following:
- Facility tour Suzuka factory to see the final production of the S2000
- Tour of Suzuka circuit
- Tour to Motegi circuit
- Visit Honda Collection Hall and Honda theme hall in Motegi
- If possible to stay at the Motegi Twin Ring Hotel
- If possible to visit Honda R&D and Honda Proving Ground
- Visit Honda main office in Tokyo Aoyama
- Social event visiting hot spa and typical Japanese hotels
- Siteseeing through typical Japanese locations
- Night life in Tokyo Roppongi
- And many more other attractions like temples, gardens
I will also organize a meeting (with dinner) with some S2000 project leaders like Mr. Uehara (Large Project Leader, Mr. Tsukamoto (Chassis project leader), Mr. Otobe (Powertrain Project Leader) and some others.
There is also a chance to organise a meeting with the Japanese S2000 club and get together with their cars (e.g. in Motegi circuit or Suzuka) and have a come-together dinner.
For the cost I have roughly calculated and come to a sum of maximum 1500,- per person (when using a single room) + flight cost. I would suggest to issue a Japan rail pass which allows us to use the Super Express for one week as much as we want. Board is not included (food and drinks by own expense). For the flight I can organise a good price with Japan Airlines below 700 Euro from Frankfurt but it would be the easiest if everyone books his flight by himself (but I can assist when required of course). Lufthans offers from Frankfurt for about 670,- Euro.
So roughly calculated the complete program could cost maximum 2800,- including everything.
That's the status for now, please consider as soon as possible and give me some feed back. In the meanwhile I will continue to proceed with the organisation.
Kind regards,
Ko.
