Is that an early 'touch the truck' contest?

clearly suspended, notice how the rear tires and the fronts have a very different thread pattern. max traction in the back, max comfort up front. _________________ regards

Is that the production line? The building has a timber roof. All the pictures I've seen of Wolfsburg show concrete roofs? _________________ Andy

Not a factory shot. This appears to be a vocational school or apprenticeship program in a barn or airplane hangar. The instructor is resting his hand on the jack spur; the rest appear to be students. If you look carefully, they are swapping tires on this zero mileage bus. The RR tire has a more aggressive tread than the fronts. _________________ Thanks,

If they are changing tyres, why is the chump hanging off the front bumper?
How is the bus supported?
Clearly not changing tyres! _________________ -StockRocks- |

It looks like the cat in front is twisting the bumper to line up the hole so the dude on the right can get the bumper bolt through. _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.

Top one. The rare SchwimBus option.
It's amazing that this country was still in ruins From WWII while this happening. My mother, who was bombed in WWII was sent to Germany just after the war, to meet with other children, so that the generation didn't see the Germans as the soldiers...very forward thinking. _________________ .ssS! |
