Anyone from the Peoria, IL area?

MY91GT · 01-18-2001, 01:04 PM

I am a coporate intern for CAT in the engine division and I am currently in peoria, IL...im pretty bored and have nothing to do after work. I was wondering if anyone is from around that area and had any ideas on what there is to do or when i get my mustang down we can hang together.
Thanks

Hey MY91GT,
I work for Finning, one of the largest CAT dealers in the world. I've been to Peoria a few times. I work in the service world, working with engineers and product analysts. What group are you with? Which building are you in.

Everytime I've been to Peoria it seemed like there was 4 or 5 Z28's for every mustang. What's the scene like down there lately?

Tech Centre? Do you know a Tim Wiggers? If you do tell him Cam Hergott from Finning says "Hi". If you don't know him, well, you should meet him, he's a good guy.

What's the scene like in Peoria these days? The next time I come down we'll have to hook up.

Hey, do you know Corey Vaughn? He is one of my best friends and works at CAT, tests transmissions (I believe).

If you do let me know, I can tell you some stuff and we can screw with his head
