BP Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I understand On Thursday July 24th those of us going to Flint, will have an opportunity to meet with some of the employees from the Reatta Craft Centre. Has anyone considered questions that need to be asked (perhaps those discussion board members who aren?t going have questions we could present ? and post)Any thoughts ??

padgett Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I would like to know if they have any memory maps or printouts from the ECM or BCM stashed. Would even be willing to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geoff Meador Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 This might be an appropriate thread to mention the following information:I did my senior ecology term paper on the General Motors EV1 electric vehicle. I learned that it was assembled in the "specialty vehicle plant" that had been converted from the Reatta Craft Center soon after 1991.At the time it didn't mean much, but after acquiring the Reatta I fired off a few e-mails to some of the men I had spoken with while writing the paper. Most of the e-mails bounced back as bad addresses, but one man responded who had worked at the plant through both the Reatta and the EV1.Perhaps, with all the time that has passed, EV1 staff would be easier to track down than Reatta staff and it might yield several individuals common to both cars. Hope someone can use that bit of information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I am in transit to Flint and have made a rough list of questions. Not knowing who will attend, some of the more technical ones may not get answers. However, we may get some good names of engineers that can help and ask them the questions via email.If you have any general questions, post them on line and I will add them to my list if I can get an email connection at the Wingate.

Shelby Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 If you find the guy that designed the rattley rear brakes, give him a swift kink. And also the guy that hide the screws on the front turn signals. Should get a swifty. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Based on database information, the sunroofs vary, but around 12% of the coupes had them.I have first dibs on the front turn signal designer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dales90 Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Great idea, Roberta!For those of us who did not plan on arriving until later the day of the meeting, has anyone planned to video tape the event?I have begun trying to psyche Carol and myself into leaving earlier, and driving well into the previous night to land in time for the meeting.Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
