I'm hoping to drive the cab to Munich later this year and want to take it back to the factory. Were all the cabs built in the same place and if so which one? If not how do you find out? It 's a '91 car. Thanks.

I did this five years ago, and a day later, the car (red one in my sig.) was comprehensively destroyed by a flying porker on the autobahn, just past Munich.

Ha ha - brilliant - I hadn't read it that way but maybe I'll take a list of stuff for them to fix. I also want to meet some of the tiny pixies with 16 jointed arms that they must use to put the bloody things together!
