Is that an early 'touch the truck' contest?

None of them seems to be doing anything useful

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.

Klaus just cracked off 20 pull-ups on the pressed bumper Laughing

Are those wood slats in the background for SC hoops?

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

More likely bed strips.

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.

If they are changing tyres, why is the chump hanging off the front bumper?
How is the bus supported?

Clearly not changing tyres!

Maybe they lift it up with a big hall crane and the two people in the front hold the weight in the middle while the rear one is changing the tire and the one near the rear jackpoint is afraid that the barndoor fall down(he have the box with the switches for the crane in his hands and hope that the boss don't see them)

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.

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.
