Stout that is it. I worked at the Roush facility just on the east side the Lions Training camp (in the Fairlane Business Park along the "river") since the building was open and before that just north of the Allen Park Police station, so I know the area well. I have a couple of friends that live that general neighborhood, one off of Raymond and the other streer, I can't remember (it is a tree name).

I have spent some time at Ryder's in Taylor. Do they still have that 3 Speed in the case on the bottom shelf along the wall.... NOT FOR SALE, SO DON'T ASK? LOL! :lol:

I am trying to remember the Ford I guy I know that is big into Bronco's. He was working on Truck programs, it is on the tip of my tongue... I want to say his first name was Hank/Harry Erol, last name escapes me. I am sure you know him, he lives in that area as well. It is amazing what you forget in 9 months (when I left).

Looks like you guys had an interesting morning up there and are looking forward to an interesting evening....... ICE. Don't miss that mess!

Anyway, nice stuff and welcome. Too bad we didn't know each other before I left.

So you worked at roush?? 56 or 57?? I work for Roush too, currently stationed at bldg. 50, but I was working at the pilot plant, in charge of ford test vehicles. I live on Raymond, who did you know that lives on the street??

Yes, riders still has the three speed in the case, I remember when bobby bought it. He clings to that one truck....

Yes, the ice was pretty bad up here recently, fortunatly I didnt have to go to work...:)

Tell Mike Borg, Mike Sturr, Jeff Miller, Terry Hendricks, Scot Chapman,............. I could go on and on, I said hello. I worked there for 10 years, almost to the day. My home was 56, but I got around alot. How long have you worked at B50? I spent A LOT of time there just before I left in Aug, Sept, and Oct. If you where there then, if you went into Billman's fab shop (Jeff is no longer there), I owned most of the shop with some military work. You couldn't miss it, it was a bunch of Aluminum. Jerod, Tom, Art, all still in the fab shop?

The guy on Raymond I know if Justin Serpetti, we works for a DTE contractor. He has only been there for a couple of years. I don't have his address at home, I have it at work. There was a house that for sale (prob) still is next door to him (on the north side). I used to watch his cats when he would travel. His mom lives next door to our house in Belleville, of which I still own. She is currently managing the rental for me.

Are you with RPP or there for the mix of work that Steve Sciatto/Dan Bowerson sells? All the Chrysler reworks where going on just before I left.

SMALL FREAKING WORLD!!!!!!!

Mike and I go back to my first day at Roush. Him, Mike Sturr (he is at Bldg. 28 now, but was at Bldg. 50 for a long while), and Mike Wright (you might know him)... the three Mike-ateers. Great guys. Seriously, tell Borg, that Heither and Jay (or just say Schultzie) say hello and tell him we chated a bit.

MY TC is expired, but I am known pretty much known everywhere with mrlexan.

He's an idiot. Comes from upbringing. His parents are probably idiots too.
