Plant Tour Wow!!!!!!!!!!

Went on the plant tour this afternoon, I think I want a job there. Even my wife was thrilled. This made the trip from Pa. worthwhile. Oh and the corvette museum was cool to. Thanks to all of you who waved comming accross Kentucky.

I've been there 3 times - June '95...got to "first start" a yellow/black C4!

June '97 watched them building the first year c5's (the love affair began) and saw my first convertible and it was in Medium Purple Pearl Metallic!

October 2005 - saw the first preproduction C6 convertibles (got a ride in one on the short test track behind the building.) My buddy's cousin does work there and gave us a two hour tour of both sides (Cadillac XLR and Corvette). Got to "first start" a silver C6 coupe.

I've had great memories of the plant and the museum. No Corvette enthusiast should leave this planet without a visit to both IMHO!

How'd you like that drive? Ain't it a killer?

We did it in one day......don't think I'll try that again. Glad you enjoyed yourself. We had a blast too.

YEP - BGA Tours R Great!

Worked on a 1+ year project at BGA during the C5 to C6 conversion, it'll probably be the best project I'll ever work on.

Later . . . . . .
