the floor is so clean it looks like a basketball court!

interesting.
it's more like an assembly plant
than a manufacturing plant.
dirty and noisy work done off site.
none of the workers are wearin hard hats or eye protection.

lambo is now owned by audi tho isnt it?

and are they still hand built? or would you find them there too?

yeah, lambo is audi.
i saw the lambo factory on tv the other day.
it's small and cramped.
i guess it's cuz they make limited lambos per yr

i can see that actually.. more like a little shop than factory type mass production.
