Default Kevin's back!

I just got an email from Kevin letting me know that my Z06 came off the line today. He said he have been on the line for 2 weeks but was back at his old job now. I told him that we are really happy to have him back where he belongs.

two really good things today!

Mike

Default welcome back!

Welcome back Kevin,
Everyone on the forum missed you
I missed the opportunity to meet you at my NCM delivery 29 Sept.
A few important things were not included in my car's delivery package, but the car itself was flawless.
Still trying to get those missing papers from my dealer, but so far no joy.
Anyway glad you're back!
GM

Even though I have not personally met Kevin, I think I know him through all the good comments he has received from other forum members.

So, welcome back Kevin. My car should be built this week - a LMB covertible with gray interior and black top, MN6, 3LT - order number JKKZ3T. Let me know if you see it wandering around looking for an owner.

During the excellent tour Kevin gave me and PerforminNorman to see our Z06's built on 9/30, we found out that Kevin does not like to have his picture taken. He's a great guy, loves cars and Corvettes, and has lots of interesting stories to tell (no classified information though).
Welcome back Kevin!

It was great to meet Kevin when I took my tour on Oct 6 & 7 during the time he was off the tours and on the line. I talked to him as he was leaving the plant on Thursday and he looked me up on Friday.

I asked him to pose for a picture but he politely refused.
