That's me! Check your PM.

 

my girlfriend lives in dearborn. im there every so often. its crazy, i havent seen one wrx there.

 

There are a few more actually.... one guy works at a restaurant in Fairlane Town Center and another at Lear. Maybe we can all meet up on a warmer day at Prodrive? They are located in Dearborn too.

 

prodrive is in dearborn?

 

Yep.

They do work on the US Rally cars there.

 

Well ill be...

just curious if they had anything there that we could see. like any displays or fun stuff like that. anyone been there?

Bzy

 

I'm going to try to get a little tour tossed together for us. But I'm thinking it might be more enjoyable when the weather warms up a bit. Then we can have a mini-meet and Prodrive tour! The thing is, I'm not sure they want their address advertised to the world. Might make it hard for them to get work done if people are always dropping by. But I'll call and see if they are interested. They've always been very friendly whenever I've talked to them.

 

coo, ill be in if something like that would happen.

 

What happened to Biaxin?

I was on my way home today when I saw a silver WRX sedan driving by my house (Outer Dr.). It looked stock except for a headlight mod and muffler. I tried catching up to the guy and flashed by brights a few times after he turned into the neighborhood behind my house. I was in a 2500 Duramax Diesel pickup truck (my "other ride" for work) and couldn't catch up. Looked like who ever it was thought I wanted to run him over! I swear I just wanted to look at the headlight mod because I took my headlight apart this weekend to remove the orange lens!

So... whoever that was.... I was just trying to say hi! :P

 

Just wanted to say hello to my fellow Detroiters. Since you are both in Dearborn do we all work for the same company? I don't think I need to bring their name up. Well, I have my money down on a new STi. Maybe we could all get together sometime since you don't see to many WRXs in these parts.

 

Kebler, that sounds real good. There are a few more Dearborn area "lurkers" I know of that havn't seen this thread or havn't posted, but a mini-meet sounds like a cool plan.

I *did* work for the company you are talking about with the tall glass building on Michigan Ave. for a few years (worked my way up to the 8th floor woo hoo!) but left back in 2000.

 

Yeah sounds good to me. I am not sure when my STi will be coming in though. I am guessing June or July but who really knows. I am surprised anyone picked up on Prodrive in DB. Not too many people know about it. How did you find out? I worked with them over there for a bit. I would tell you more about it but I think they want to keep a low profile. It is not really a customer oriented shop like many people on here would like to believe. It was definitely cool to see what goes on in there though.
How old are you guys? I am still new to the industry at 24.

 

Yeah, that's the one think I want to remind everyone - they are strickly an in-house operation. They are not part of the Prodrive USA that makes consumer gear which is located in another state. They can not work on customers cars nor can they sell parts. They don't even have a sign on their building, so they are certainly looking to keep a low profile.

I'm sure we have a bunch of people here that work for the auto industry. I started right after college and just left the feild this late Fall. I'm 27 now - seems to be the average age?

 

Im here... Im usally on clubwrx.net... I would of stopped if I saw your lights...

Im 23 and Im sorta in the auto industry.. =)

Im down with a mini-meet.
