WOW

You wouln't happen to know off the top of your head how many cars the line is putting out an hour?

Okay did a bit of estimating (hrs. a week, subtracted approx 2hrs. a day for food and breaks and approx. 3 wks for holidays) and it seems that they are running a real slow production. Real slow. Maybe it's some sort of British Workers Union thing but... well I know that the production at a local auto plant is putting out 40 cars an hour, back in it's PINTO heyday, I do believe it was cranking out 55 per hr. double shifts, 10hr per shift and Saturday. Ehhh it just dawned on me that way too many people out there bought FORD Pintos!!!
