    Who wouldn't want to be a Wolfsberger??

    How times have changed. I have the Peugeot publications of this that talks about the cars and working lives of a Sochauxian. They make it sound like the best job in the world but there is always a darker side to the story. Wasn't there a case of some people trying to take VW werk to court over working conditions and slavery. But what slavery, they gave you a swimming pool.

  6. No worries I thought someone else would appreciate them :)
     
  7. Factory life is never as good as it looks on paper. Working conditions these days are probably good. Most of the repetitive jobs are now probably done by robots. :)
     
  8. Great pics :)

    Marvellous photos! However it seems our buses were made in Hanover with transmissions from Kassel. Any photos of these?
