Marysville, Ohio plant tour this spring.

I have decided to make a new thread about a tour of the Honda plant in Marysville. I highly reccomend anyone in central Ohio should make an effort to make it, I took the tour back in 95 and I was impressed. The plant is about an hour north of Downtown Columbus.
Here is some nice propaganda from Honda that I found.
"The Marysville Auto Plant produces the Honda Accord (4 and 2 door models) and the Acura CL and TL models. This Plant is one of the most integrated vehicle manufacturing facilities in the United States, with the capability to produce 440,000 automobiles a year. It was the first auto plant in the United States to produce both left- and right-hand drive models on the same production line."

I am writing a letter to the tour dept to see about the availability of a tour in April or May of next year. I need to know how many members are willing to participate.

That seriously sounds really cool. If I lived closer I would have to say hell yea, but since I live in PA and its a bit far away I will have to think about it. But keep me posted.

if u can get a date and time, i would seriously try to get that off, it sounds like a lot of fun (this and what was talked about in the Ohio/columbus thread)

How does this sound: Saturday May 23rd 2004. Early afternoon.
I sent the letter today and am waiting to hear back.

I saw that other thread, it was a bit long and dated so I decided to start this thread to see about interest in a tour and post a poll.

Sat May 23rd would work for me. With this much prep time, I can be pretty flexible.

Yeah, planning this far ahead is good for me because I can make plans around it. Count me in.

That sounds damn good. As long as the 3g still has a motor in it, I'll come. I think it would educational but fun at the same time.

Ahhh educational ahhh

It's not educational in the Discovery channel sense. We'll learn how cars are built. Anything with cars rocks. :super:

Yes it does.

allright, maybe I could see my mom hard at work! but oh wait she works nights and with acuras!

I'm from reynoldsburg so I'm in.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Im from there, I lived there for 15 years in between the HS and Herbert Mills. Last time I was back I saw that Main st. was all fuckered up. Man the cops suck there.

oops

any news on scheduling a tour?

hm. Main streets fixed now but they will find some way to screw it up agin... I live off taylor if your ever back in town :P

Want me to call them tomarrow and see how we schedual a tour?

I sent them a letter last week. All nice and formal looking. I am still waiting on a response. I hope to get as many users there as possible. Any other Honda's are welcome so I'll have a few friends show up. 5 of my friends have Civics. Only 1 Accord and its down for the moment.

A few of my friends said they would go ...

if my accord is still going i would like to go. yeah the last thread i started was a little bit too rushed. this one at least has a chance.

I have an update, kinda.
When I wrote the letter to Honda I put my old address in Ohio for the return address on accident. I had my snal mail forewarded to my new address. I have not recieved anything forewarded in over a month. So there is a backlog of my mail somewhere in the system. I called the Reynoldsburg post office and they are looking into the matter. I know there is a backup because I have not recieved any bills like car insurance or CC in over a month. Luckily I can pay that stuff online. So I hope to get the mail soon, I am sure that Honda has responded to me by now.

Thanks for the update, kroy. I'd really like to see this happen.

I wrote a letter to honda (CA) asking if they were every thinking about a convertable (like the solara) and they called me on that..... that was a funny phone call "the phones for you" "who is it?" "honda" "why is honda calling me?" "I don't know just pick up the phone" "I don't want to" <beep> "hello?" yes!

hell...Im in too...This is a good long time to plan this out

blah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello????????????????????????

Im talking back and forth with them about a date.
I should have it finalized soon. They want do most of their tours in the fall and Im trying to talk them into something earlier, like June.

Y do earlier? and are you going to be in town for the meet Kroy?..I see you live in S.C. now....

Yea I live down south now, but I will use this as an excuse to come home and visit friends/family. I have made the drive 10 times in the last six months.

I want earlier because in June I am takin 10 Days to come back to Ohio for various stuff I need to deal with, like my Integra and clearing out my stuff from my mom's house.

Hey guys I live here in Columbus and would love to go...If Honda isn't down with it why not set another location ?? Maybe a Honda dealership ?? Or just a park someplace around here. Either way I would show up.

Do we have an update for this event ?

This going to happen?

Did this meet ever happen?

I didn't even have my 3g back then or I woulda been all over this.
