No kidding, the legendary VW-boss of the 50ies and 60ies, Heinrich Nordhoff had binoculars in his office in top floor of the VW factory. He always controlled the parking-lots with it. When he saw, that a VW-worker came with annother car than a VW, hat guy was called to go immediately to the "VW-god" himself to get a heavy dressing-down, why he don't drive a Volkswagen. It's a historical fact! -- Last edit: 2008-11-05 20:17:04
