If you look on the forum under plant #17 you will see some photos of me taking down plant #17 sign and a few others. Spent two hours there a couple weeks ago. It is still there but devestated. Most signs are gone or painted over with black paint. There is no longer anything FIERO inside or out side. If you can't find the photos e-mail me at 84ND500@comcast.net. I will also send you photos of the bridge with FIERO SIGN, no FIERO SIGN, and the bridge being torn down. Just give me some time to locate the photos.

I may be interested in joining you. I will be in Michigan from the 7th till the 17th. I will be in West Branch pretty much all week....but if you were thinking about Friday or Saturday (15th or 16th), I could bring the convertible down also.

How's about we meet up on Friday the 8th @ 6 pm at the Borders on Woodward and Maple? We'll drive up the the factory before it gets too dark and we can come back down and have ice cream at Dairy Deluxe or go to Duggans for grub.

I'm available for both days. I'll take any opportunity to meet with Fiero guys, especially if they're coming out of state. Give me a reason to drive the Fiero and I'll try to be there.

I flew into town for a wedding in Livonia today. Leaving in the morning... Sorry that it was not next week. I would have loved to make the trek with a few other enthusiasts.

Tempting to join you, Scott....but have dinner with a hot redhead planned Saturday night. I can find the replays of your record run on youtube...I won't find replays of her there. I will stick with Plant 17 in the morning.

Anyone is welcome to join us! You don't need to have a Fiero but it would be cool with a ton.
Makes me wonder, what is the largest group of Fieros at the plant in the last 22 years?

Grrrrrrrr....one less Fiero tomorrow morning. Alternator went out on it, and as tempting as it is to try to bring it anyway, it really is a recipe to be left stranded. I will still be showing up....but will attempt to grab a passenger seat for the trip over to Plant 17.

I got a "new" alternator at a local parts place for $59, so it's not too costly to replace. If you have a manual, it's actualy pretty easy to swap out.
I plan to meet up with you guys tomorrow at Borders. I may have to drop off about 12:15 or so though.

Be happy to take your passenger seat, Pete...thanx.

I have parts cars once I get back to NC....so the only thing this will cost me is the lack of a pic of the car at Plant 17.
