HI!... Would just like everyone here to know that I have been working with FORD's to get a tour going through the WINDSOR ENGINE plant. This will be a tour to see the 4.6/5.4/6.8 TRITON engines being built from a block to a finished engine ready to install in a vehicle. The tour will be at 9:00A.M JULY 31 2004. It's a SATURDAY. No one under 13 is allowed on the tour. Ford will supply the safety glasses but YOU need to supply the safety boots/shoes. No safety boots/shoes, *NO TOUR*. There will be a lunch meet afterwards at JD PRANKSTERS resturant. Please let me know if you want to attend, here. I need close #'s so FORD knows how many guides they need to provide. Thanks.

 

HI!... C'mon guys!!!!!!!!! Chime in here if your interested!!!!!!!!

 

Man that would be sweet!! That is like a pilgramage to Ford Mecca. But.... that is over 900 miles one way. So I don't think that I can make it. So I am begging you to do the next best thing and take a *****load of pictures for the rest of us to drool over.

HI!... C'mon guys, I can't believe no one wants to go to this!! Everyone in this are is always complaining that there's nothing to do around here related to FORD and our trucks. I busted my ***** and pulled a ton of favours to get us this tour and no one apparently wants to go! Just to let you guys know, this is the *1ST* time EVER a public tour has been allowed to go through the plant while in operation. If I don't get at least 40 people to come then the whole tour will be cancelled and I will foget about ever trying to do this kind of thing again. So if your interested in going, PLEASE chime in here so I can give my FORD rep a rough figure on the amount of people to attend.

 

I'll go in spirit? Sux it's so far away...Nice job in setting it up!! If you do go take some pics!! Probably won't let you though huh?..Hope this gets going?!

 

Neal, I'm in...sister used to work at the engine plant, brother in-law works at Nemak. I love the engine. lets hope we can get this going.

Anybody have a guy I can talk to get a tour of the Ford plant in Oakville? Anybody know a supervisor that works there? My dad is coming to town (Toronto) and I'm really wanting to treat him to a tour (a proud Lightning owner). I'm willing to pay a few bucks for anybody that's willing to go through the trouble to set this up.

 

HI!... I've been through the OAKVILLE F-150 assembly plant twice. It's a great tour. If you can get in there, get in there quick. They will be shutting down that plant soon.

 

Neal, any idea how I can get in there? I don't believe they do random public tours. I definitely want to check it out though. Think I could call somebody there and offer them some money for a tour? You know anybody there I can contact?

Any help is much appreciated. Feel free to call: 937.620.1004

 

HI!... I don't have the faintest idea, sorry.

Count me in.

 

Neal, any more info on the engine tour in Windsor? The Rouge tour on this side of the river (2005 F150) is supposed to be a real "state of the art" tour.
