waymondospiff Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Is BON doing anything to "scoop" this meeting? That'd be sweet. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
630land Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I'm sure people will be strip searched for cameras. But if anyone can post good descriptions, would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LincolnFan Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Is BON doing anything to "scoop" this meeting? That'd be sweet. Scott I bet they will go there and bitch about the following: The LS, The T-Bird, The Lincoln Concepts, The C1 Focus, The Mondeo, The Ranger, The Crown Vic, The E-Series, The Fiestal, The Explorer and The Town Car. And I am pretty sure that's not even the third of the things they will bitch about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BORG Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I think they believe that showing everything off in one big event will make it look like one big product onslaught. I'm sure they will see the following Escape/Mariner Fairlane MKS Focus 500/Montego E-Series SuperDuty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellcat_F6F Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 This is a dumb question, I know, but I'll ask anyway...this is only for salaried, and not us hourly dirtbags, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzler Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Im registered and going. Any type of picture equipment is a no-no. does that mean they're going to blindfold you? sounds like you need to make friends with a courtroom artist person and bring them along.

Plus your have to sign a waiver saying you will keep your trap shut as well. (this was a no brainer) Im just wondering for how long, Then you have to figure they may change the products shown from production from input (if they ask for any).

How about you tell someone else that doesn't work for Ford? They could spill the beans on here for you and everyone would be safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Instead of showing just the workers, they should show the media, it's harshest critic, and that should help silence them a bit from thinking there's doom and gloom only coming from Ford. They are the ones (as well as analysts) that need that reinforcement...not just the workers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblue93 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 This better? Much better. That hairdo is an embarrassment. Honestly, how can we beleive that a guy that thinks that haircut looks good knows what cars are any good. He might as well wear a muscle shirt and some parachute pants to his press conferences.

BORG Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Maybe that explains Ford's questionable design approach lately, any guy who wears a mullet obviously doesn't understand good design . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No any Ford Employee or Retiree is invited, (among other selected people) you need to call and be added to the list --you can get the phone number from the employee website. Cameras and Cell Phones will be confiscated. And you are probably not a Dirtbag -- some yes, but that also applies at the salary level too.

That is weekend wear in Fla. while Steve Wilson was chasing him. Noticed the dates for the big event are on the last day of signups for the buyout. Interesting.

silvrsvt Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 While I can understand why Ford would want you to sign a no disclosure agreement if you goto to see the products, I think you'd get more "buzz" if you did let them talk about the new products without letting out specifics...like oh the new Focus Coupe is really sharp looking with a much improved interior.
