As a very special option, members participating in MBCA’s 2010 Trips to Germany may attend the exclusive Europe-only Mercedes-Benz Driving Experience. Enjoy driving various contemporary models in several different venues after being instructed by professional Mercedes-Benz drivers. This may be your only opportunity to drive these vehicles in Germany in the manner they’re engineered, designed and built to drive! You’ll become a better driver and really appreciate the safety and electronic features incorporated into Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Wow! Fantastic! Unbelievable! Beyond my wildest dreams! You understated it!
Those are just a few member reactions to the previous MBCA Trips to Germany.
The Club is offering two trips in 2010, starting on Monday, July 19 and Monday, September 27. In conjunction with Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz, we’ll go places and see things that are just not open or available to the public or others. Just ask members who have been on the trips since 2006 for their reactions. And we’ve even added additional stops and features through the years.
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 we’ll even enjoy 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 again in 2010 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 Jim O’Sullivan at jimo55@comcast.net or 617-879-0017.
See you in Stuttgart!
