Quite a lot of interesting stuff on the programme.

I went to the Opel factory (Russelheim?) 45 years ago. Very different from now. I always remember Rekords(I think they were) being driven off the production line with screaming engines and tyre smoke as they launched off the rolling road.  They were doing 50 within two seconds of having been started for the first time. After that I thought anyone running in their cars was wasting their time. My brother did that job for a while at a Volvo factory. It was the same there. You had to or you couldn't keep up.
