mccorry Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Well... here are some of my photos from the March 4th SIA plant tour. The tour was great and it was really nice meeting everyone. Thursday night, several of us met at a bar next to the hotel to have drinks and get to know one another. By 11:00 PM, we were up on the Purdue U. Campus at the famous Harry's Chocolate Shop bar having long Island iced-teas and having a blast. The next morning, we all got up painfully early to meet in the lobby @ 7:30 AM. From there, we caravaned the cars across Lafayette and had breakfast before going to the plant.... Here is a description of the activities and some pictures... The first place we got to see was the training center... where they had some cut away pieces for us to inspect.... 2.5L Turbo H4 cut away http://www.wideopenwest.com/~mccorry/images/subaru/SIA%20tour/2.5%20Turbo%20CA2.jpg Outback Wagon cut away http://www.wideopenwest.com/~mccorry/images/subaru/SIA%20tour/Outback%20CA.jpg Next, we headed over to the plant main entrance where they had a Tribeca (B9) waiting for us. We got to turn the keys and climb all over it....

Camera's were not allowed in the plant, so no photos here, people. I can tell you that the plant was VERY clean and well organized. The line is truly an engineering marvel. Ted and I were amazed. After the tour... we took some time to snap photos of the group members and their cars... along with one of our tourguide, Mike! SIA Mike!!! http://www.wideopenwest.com/~mccorry/images/subaru/SIA%20tour/SIA%20Mike.jpg The LegacyGT Group (Seth, me, Craig, Dennis, and Rob) http://www.wideopenwest.com/~mccorry/images/subaru/SIA%20tour/LegacyGT%20members.jpg LegacyGT cars - front http://www.wideopenwest.com/~mccorry/images/subaru/SIA%20tour/LegacyGT%20at%20SIA%202.jpg LegacyGT cars - rear http://www.wideopenwest.com/~mccorry/images/subaru/SIA%20tour/LegacyGT%20at%20SIA%201.jpg Hope you all enjoy the pictures... and be sure to add more if you have them....

rao Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Nice pics, thanks. If I'd have known you were taking pics with the cars, I would have lined up with everyone. Who were the other 2 people who went with us? Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuksob03 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I don't think the other two people were associated with the group. While we were waiting in the training center, I thought I heard Mike say something to the girl about waiting for the other person in her group to show up. I could be wrong though.

caramall2 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Roof cross member: Hope this isn't a foul to stick this question in here, but in the plant did you get a good look at a wagon roof structure (non-limited)? I've been debating hard about an aftermarket sunroor (yes I know, bad move to not buy the limited if I wanted a sunroof that much) but very concerned about the structure. Looks like you had a great visit--thanks for the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Thanks for posting up Steve. I was about to put Rob's up when I went looking for names and saw your put a whole bunch up. I had a blast! Nice meeting everyone. *gloating* I got to start the B9! *gloating* Too bad rao didn't stick around for the group picture. Must have had some hot lunch date back in Chicago. I got my best mileage ever on the way back from the meet, calculated mileage of 26.7mpg (27.9 on the gauge) and I wasn't babying it either! Seems best mileage for me is had near 80mph. We'll have to do a meet there in the near future like Mike suggested. Maybe should see if I can set up a Harley tour for him since he's a big Harley guy.
