That is some fancy equipment that puts the chassis and body together in 15 seconds !!

If it only takes 15 seconds to bond the chassis why is it taking 20 odd weeks to deliver  :grin: :grin:

I would absolutely love to walk around Wolfsburg and have a nosy at the production line. Would be fascinating. Imagine how chaotic it would be if we all descended on mass to the plant to watch our cars being built.

Nice to see a complete lack of TR's in production as well  :rolleyes: :laugh:

Would be a white 3dr wouldn't it

Great video though, thanks for posting.

LOL.

I thought of you when I saw that too!  Wasn't sure if you'd be pleased he picked the same car as you or angry his is being made first?

Looks like PP, Pro Nav, Sunroof (nice inside shots) and full leather (I think?).  Has he got weird 17" Austins?  They look crap!  I guess from his other videos he doesn't care as he's gonna switch them anyway perhaps?

Saw him in the video Jimble posted the other day, he's a legend, I'm glad I'm not the only one anymore it can be quite a burden at times.

At the rate our cars are being built, "en mass" wouldn't really be required!  :grin:
