Here you go.... 1516 S. POWER ROAD
MESA, AZ 85206

It is right off the 60 and power. From there it will be a stright shot,

 

I can't make it, I really appreciate your efforts and I know I'll see you all eventually. Have a great time everyone!

 

We are definitely interested and are planning on being there. Sounds like lots of fun. Thanks for putting it together.

Bill and Linda

 

OK. So what's the meet time for the Toys-R-Us? Since my mom is going to be with us we will be taking her van since there is no more HHR.

 

OK Arizona HHRonians....

I have submitted our names for the tour and suggested about Noon for the time. I'm waiting for a response from the Director, which will probably be tomorrow (Thursday). Once I get the approval and any additional info, WE can plan accordingly. The list is as follows....

Me, D, Spaz and Mom, Bill & Linda and friend....for a total of 7.

I still would like to suggest lunch afterward. HHR Boutique suggested the San Tan Flat bar/restuarant which I would second. It's directly south of the Proving Ground.

 

We think that is great. Lunch at San Tan will be fun. After lunch, we would like to invite everyone back to our rolling store to see and touch all the stainless and chrome HHR parts we have. It's only about 6 miles from San Tan and the road might be a bit (or a lot) dusty.

We are parked at the home of one of the ultimate PT Cruiser enthusiasts. If you come, you will be able to see "Windspirit", a PT Cruiser that has been featured on the cover of Cruiser Quarterly Magazine and has won best in show at virtually every PT Cruiser show all over the country. We're not trying to convert anyone. Our business started with the PT. PT Cruisers and HHRs have the same heritage and purpose. Seeing this car might give some idea of what can be done with an HHR.

Linda has already decided that we need to get an HHR to go with our PT show car. It will be a panel and the theme and design are already decided. The only thing we need is for more HHR parts sales (which are growing each month) and then a bigger Motor Home and 2 car trailer. (anyone want to make a donation? lol)

Looking forward to Saturday,
Bill and Linda

 

Added Mandy (Retro) to this list as a maybe.....she's having car trouble and it's at the dealer.

 

OK we are set for the tour of the GM Desert Proving Ground.

The tour is scheduled for NOON and will be conducted/escorted by the Managers Secretary (Deb, neat person ).

I indicated we will "muster" in the front parking lot of the Proving Ground at 11:45 so we should ALL be ready at NOON for the tour. She is using a van to provide the transportation around the facility. I am not sure what will be "off limits"....many times....the garages. Sometimes certain road systems. We'll find out when we get there (remember GM is NOT the only tenant at this facility, any longer. Some of it is leased/rented to other users...I believe Harley Davidson is one).

Again....bring a camera, if you wish an opportunity with the GM Proving Ground sign, BUT YOU MAY NOT TAKE THE CAMERA INSIDE OF THE PROPERTY. NO guns, NO alcohol, NO other guests at this time. Sorry to keep repeating this.....but you would be surprised sometimes, about people. And Deb will ask again when we enter.

I SUGGEST we all, EXCEPT for HHR BOUTIQUE, meet at the suggested Toys R Us no later than 11:15.... then travel as a group to the Proving Ground. We should get there in about 15-20 minutes.

Because he is coming from an area just south of the Proving Ground, HHR BOUTIQUE can meet us, in the front of the Proving Ground, between 11:30-11:45.

Tour for about an hour and then, as suggested, lunch at San Tan Flats.

Any questions or suggestions....post them. I'll be on an off the forum all day.

Jason and Mandy......you have the directions to Toys R Us, right? If you are late the address to the Proving Ground is posted in this thread (bottom of post #39). The location is about 1 mile east and 5 miles south of the "Toys" location.

EDIT....Please acknowledge
