Mine just died today. Turned if off and on and it worked for a while, but now, the Radio is on, and the ACC display and buttons are dead, though the temperature seems to blow nice, cold air as normal. Anyone have an update on this? Rob Catron

I got your PM and you are both down for the 18th. I posted this message just to let everyone know that right now, I have 8 (counting myself) for 3/4, and only 4 for 3/18 Also, you asked about cameras, and they will not be allowed in the plant. In fact, if they are like Honda, they will check your cell phones for cameras as well. thanks! Rob

There is really no deadline. I think the security sheet that that I have to fax it in 48 hours prior to the tour, but I think a week would be best. I would like to have all signed up by, say the week of the 21st of this month Rob

Please do. Also, I still do not have anywhere NEAR the names that voted in the poll to go. I would hope others will attend? If not, then there would be no sense at all going on the 18th tanx Rob

Sounds high, but fun. count me in

Sounds like a great plan. I will be coming up on the 3rd as well. Breakfast sounds nice, and the caravan as well. I am pretty certain that we will start off in the training facility, but I'll let everyone know for sure soon. Let me know what you think about hotels, and I'll stay at the same one, for sure. We just need to get them booked pretty quickly. It would be nice to get a hotel that has a lounge of some sort so everyone can unwind a bit Thursday night. Rob

got you (both)! Just an update for all -- I was told by Mike, my contact today that they are going to pull one of the Tribecas into the lobby for us to check out on both days. Get to "kick the tires" so-to-speak. Also, we are planning on starting 9:00 AM EST in the Training center to see the displays, then onto the Tribeca, then onto the tour. Should be fun stuff (especially to get to meet everyone). By the way, don't make the same mistake that I made when I went to the SAAB kick-off meeting last month -- LaFayette is one of the areas in Indiana where their time never changes, so they are actually EST now until EST "Springs Forward" in the Spring. I was late for a morning meeting with SQA, missed lunch, and was generally rushed for the meeting because I did not realize that Live and learn.... Rob

So far I only have 7 total people that have PM'd me their names and dates. I have 5 on the 4th and 2 on the 18th. If we don't get anymore people than this, then there is definately no sense in going both days Rob

Definately will not be in a room watching the video. Part of the tour will be a catwalk tour over the line. Also, I have requested that you all be allowed to get an intimate look at the Tribeca, like I did a couple of weeks ago. Though most of the preproduction models are out and about, they should have one in the lobby by the time we get there (to go along with the Garnet Red Pearl OB XT, Brilliant Silver LGT Limited, and Baja that is in there). Also, it would be neat to go to the Training facility where they have the first Legacy built at SIA (boy were THEY ugly!) and a really neat OB XT that is cut down the middle for a cross section view. You guys would like that. It is precision cut down the middle, the entire lenght of the car from stem to stern. Neat looking at the engine, especially. The tour will start at 9:00 AM EST by the way on both days. I still need names and dates from those of you that have not PM's me yet. Thanks to those who did already. Rob

True, more discussion, please! Rob

Children under 12 are prohibited. Sorry

Ok, I received all of the forms this morning. I need to have everyone's full name and date of attending for security clearance. No sense clogging up this thread, so please PM me I have to go on a Business Trip and won't be back until Friday, so by next Monday or so, I'd like to have my forms completed and submitted. thanks, this is going to be fun (mainly meeting everyone, I think) Rob

I am not 100% sure on what you mean. If you are asking how long you have to make up your mind whether you are in or not, I would like to at least give them a couple of weeks prior to the tour date to add your name, out of courtesy. My goal is just to give everyone a lot of time to make plans (both us and SIA). Rob

I have confirmed that both dates are possible! (if there are no objections to this): Can I use the poll counts for my head count for both dates? Please ring in to confirm your name and date that you will be attending. I will ONLY be going one date (I'll go the first date), but I do not think that would be any big deal. Thanks alot, this will be fun. Rob

Looks like the tables have turned -- the 18th is in the lead. Either day is fine with me Rob
