Thanks to MOK I am aware of a St. Thomas meet/plant tour organized by CrownVic.net members. They had their last tour June 13-15, 2003. The weekend included an evening at the St. Thomas dragway.
I have some questions as a result.
1. How many MM owners would want to and be able to come to St. Thomas?
2. Would it be preferable to have our own MM tour instead? I am presuming that you need a minimum number of participants before they'll run a plant tour for you.
3. Would joining the CVN group be just as good? (assuming they'll let us join, and assuming that they are doing it again next year)
Other thoughts:
-if we joined the CVN group, the date would be whatever they choose, likely June again. On our own, other dates could be chosen.
-total number of MM attendees wouldn't matter if we joined the CVN group
-joining CVN means the legwork of preparation is already done; an MM event would mean more focus in terms of any discussions with Ford people and amongst ourselves
-please bear in mind that I have a) no idea how hard it is to arrange a plant tour, b) no experience as a tour guide, and c) no idea what dates might even be available.
I'm sure there are other questions and ideas. Just speaking for myself, I'd love to go and wouldn't mind joining up with the CVN group.
PS, if anyone else is working on this idea, great! Let us know.
