Callaway Plant?
Anybody ever visit Callaway in Conn. Do they give tours? Are there speedsters laying in the weeds outback? If so this may be the deciding factor for me to up and move to Boston

Re: Callaway Plant? (C4 4Me)
C4.......
You will be surprised at how small the Callaway facility actually is...... it's about 2 minutes off of Rt. 95 in Old Lyme, CT......been there about 1/2 dozen times over the past several years....... usually only a handful of people at the place at any given time. I think there are 4 garage bays (lifts), but a well appointed machine shop...... There's usually 5 or 6 Vettes having work/repairs done, and sometimes a nice rare Callaway is there.... Last time there, (2) stunning C12's were getting ready for delivery..... They have a C7 in the office area....... I'm sure you would get a nice little tour, but it would take all of 15 minutes........ I think I have some shots of the facility (inside & out) on my webpage (photogallery)........if your going to be nearby, it's worth a trip....

Re: Callaway Plant? (callaway95)
Yup.. Dave is right.. I've been there twice, & what impressed me most was how clean the whole shop was...
It looked almost like an operating room Wish they'd do some surgery on my car... $$$$ :(

Re: Callaway Plant? (90Callaway)
My girlfriend is great too, so that is why I am moving to Boston, or so she thinks, I won't tell her it's so I can be closer to Callaway :D
I have a feeling living to close to Callaway could turn out to be a bad thing for my wallet.
