MBCA TRIP TO GERMANY

2008 MBCA Trips to Germany

Wow! Fantastic! Unbelievable! Beyond my wildest dreams! You understated it!

Those are just a few member reactions to the MBCA Trips to Germany. Yes, the Club is offering two trips in 2008, starting on Monday, July 14 and Monday, September 29. In conjunction with Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz, you’ll go places and see things that are just not available to the public or others. Just ask members who have been on the trips in 2006 and 2007 for their reactions.

Among the special features in and around Stuttgart are guided tours of the AMG facility and the Sindelfingen production plant and delivery center. We’ll visit a modern engine plant with a guide and then visit the Mercedes-Benz development center and test track. Of course, we’ll visit the Classic Center, the Carl Benz Museum, the Daimler memorial, the Stuttgart Brand Center, and the crown jewel-the “new” Mercedes-Benz Museum. We’ll even go to the marvelous Technical Museum Sinsheim. And you can count on a few surprises as well.

We’ll stay at the five star Millenium Hotel and Resort. Six dinners, four lunches and six breakfasts are included. We’ll be hosted by English-speaking guides and accompanied at all times by an English-speaking Mercedes-Benz escort as well as a German-speaking MBCA host. All transportation, taxes and admissions are included.

Despite inflation, tax increases and the decline of the dollar against the euro, MBCA is offering all this in 2008 for the same price as before, $2500 per person with no single supplement. Airfare and personal expenses are not included.

For additional information and/or assistance, don’t hesitate to contact

See you in Stuttgart!
