Title: March 10th - HRE Performance Wheels Tour
Post by: admin on January 30, 2007, 06:04:42 PM
HRE Performance Wheels - a very high end wheel manufacturer - has invited the SoCal Viper Club to tour their facility with their Sales and Engineering teams.  They will share with us their processes in making HRE wheels, answer technical questions and show us their new wheel designs.

FYI:  HRE is very anxious to work with Viper owners and last week HRE "borrowed" our 2006 VOI Special Edition Coupe for a photo shoot for their upcoming advertising campaign.  Man, the special lighting in the studio sure makes the car pop!

Jon B. at PartsRack will be offering all HRE Wheel Factory tour attendees special pricing on a set of new HRE wheels.  Jon can help with tires too and may be able to take your old wheels in trade.

HRE is located off Hwy 78 in Vista, CA.  The tour will begin at 10:00 AM.  HRE has graciously offered to provide coffee, donuts & bagels.  After the tour and Q&A, we'll then caravan to Longboarder Cafe on Coast Hwy for a good old fashioned juicy hamburger - or whatever...

How about a Viper Visitor's discount for the SoCal VCA members who would order HRE wheels during or at the conclusion of the tour? ;D

I, for one, would order a set of chromed 542R's.  Could be a primer and sweetener for negotiating a "healthy discount". 8)

Maybe just in time for a set of Michelin PS2 ;D

Get well.

Albert,

As usual, fantastic photography!

Too bad I could not make it to this one.

Love the Dog Pictures.

Who made the "SoCal Viper Coat"? 

My wife would surely like one for her dog.

Vyper Phil:

The doggie sweater is a Teddy Bear sweater from Michaels Craft Shop (for small dogs of course). Then an older Club Patch and Viper Days Patch were sewn on.

Cathy Everts, our Club Secretary/Treasurer (aka Viper Blondie) told me that she can get Club Logos on just about any type clothing. You may want to check with her if you want to get something special.

Post by: Vypr Phil on March 11, 2007, 08:08:39 PM
Thanks Baxters!

I will talk to "Viper Blondie" this week-end during Viper Days.

We will certainly come up with some cool ideas for my wife's miniature dog.

Hopefully Cathy will also have some ideas for the same logo on my brand new driving suit.

Appreciate the help and the info.
