Ok Here's the 2007 Plant tour sign ups and info page!
The 2007 Durango Plant tour will be on October 19th in Newark Delaware.
The tour will be on Friday the 19th of October starting at 9-930 AM.
We have made arrangements for a Block of Rooms at the Sleep Inn in Newark, Delaware.
We'll start our annual event as usual with Most arriving on Thursday afternoon. This is usually followed by a kickoff dinner (dining information to follow) and is usually attended by a few Plant Staff as well. Dinner is usually followed up by a Durango Schmooze where we can all talk D and put faces to names that we have never met in person.
Friday Morning we'll line up at the Hotel for a convoy to the Newark Plant.
This Year we're attempting to add an addittional item to our agenda for Plant tour Day. We're working on, with the help of Jo Ann from the Durango Plant, A special Tour of the Mopar Parts Distribution Center next door to the Plant. The Plant usually runs from about 930am -1230pm which includes a Great Luncheon put on for us by Plant Staff.
The Hotel Info is as follows and please make reservations as soon as you know you'll be attending. Also Add your name to the list below please copy and paste to keep the form flowing.
The hotel is the SLEEP INN. Make your reservations now by calling 302-453-1700 and using the code DURANGO OWNERS CLUB. The rate is $69 per night + tax and includes a continental Breakfast each day.

As with every years plant tours there'll be a $20 fee for members and a $30 for non members which includes a 1 Year Membership in the DOC. Monies can be sent to the DOC Paypal Address DOCMembership07@durangoclub.com

They're looking for us to have around 50 people max but said we can be a bit over if necessary

BE A PART OF THIS GREAT EVENT!!

I'm trying to re-schedule some October commitments so I can attend this Tour. Sounds like a fun time and it'd be nice to put some faces to names and perhaps meet my long lost cousin. It'd also be a great time of year to drive through the North East. Perhaps I could also arrange to pick up a few mod items at the same time (note: any of you that may have to subscribe to the stealth mod technique, in the interest of self-preservation, are welcome to slip a mod or two of your own into my pile and when I leave them behind you can either tell your wife I forgot the mods or?that you're simply performing some tests for me) Hope to be there!

Canuck "D" :D

Steve double check the room availability I just called today 1:20pm and they said there are no rooms left and the ones you had reserved for us are already taken. Please advise if you get the same info? I did mention the club code. Well whoever the guy was who answered the first time needs to be shot :/ I called back to the same hotel, same number, got Tracey this time and all is set up. This time done at 2:20pm. Thanks much Steve!

It'll be worthwhile?

my "first" family will attest to the fact that DOC get-togethers aren't just a bunch of gearheads talking about throttle-bodies and lifts and ignitions and superchargers and amplifiers? though some of that does leak in? ;)

Sure wish we could make it- Miss seeing all the D's, and you "Old-timers" that are still around? But once again, that soggy 3000-mile stretch between here and the Mainland is thwarting our desires. Looks like y'all are doomed to yet another gathering without a PURPLE D, unless Durangutan steps up? (Dude- Go! Trust me!)

I don't Know Rob But that sounded like John was saying he'd pick you up at AIRPORT in HIS D when you arrived

Guys and Gals:

Would really have liked to make the factory tour and put a face with all the emails.

Sadly, looks like I'm a 1.1k mile round trip away from Newark to start, and since my relatives in NJ are a scant 80 miles from there, I'd want to see them as well. All that equates to too much time off of work.

On a side note, my family and I were just in NJ the first week of July for a family wedding, and I just figured out how close to DE we were when we were there.

I know that those of you who make it'll have a great time, and make sure to document well so those who don't can ride along in spirit.

Don
