I was at the plant on Friday. They had two shifts working, each producing 310 vehicles per shift.....they were working really, really hard to finish your car, even though most had the Swine Flu......

I saw your car at the end of the line. They placed a surgical mask on the rear view mirror, and left a bottle of hand sanitizer in the glovebox.........

enjoy

I did PCD with Diesel Guy yesterday. It was the first Friday the plant was up and running. Thank God, I was afraid he was going to go Clark Griswold on me if he got to Wally World and the park was closed.

I think they were happy to be in full swing again. Your baby will be just fine.

Good luck.

I am sure that each shift completed 333 car that day, yours was the last one finished and numbered 666, one of the crew was talking about calling it "Christine" or something.

That's just so wrong

Don't worry, I'm the BMW Good Witch Doctor. My presence at the plant scared away any evil spirits that might distract the associates assembling your X5. As a matter of fact, I scared away more than just the evil spirits. They know I was there.

Whistle

Here is a Friday the 13th technical support bulletin directly from BMW-Munich:

"Herr must place five (for the 5 in X5) cases of Heineken in the trunk on the way home from the dealer. Once home, Herr must begin to consume the Heineken mit his Frau and complete the ritual together (X in the X5)."


Makes sense to me...remember its official, since you read it on the internet, when you explain it to her.

Here, let me correct that statement.

"cmyX6go's presence at the plant scared away any OTHER spirits that might distract the associates assembling your X5." But somehow I'm sure that the associates assembling your X5 were distracted none the less by the BMW Good Witch Doctor shaking her, err... wand And that is when those gremlins snuck into your X5. Wandering eyes

p.s. These things are hard to explain to rank amateurs at dealing with semi-mythical creatures. But here at Funf Dreisig AG, orcs, elfs, fairies, goblins, unicorns, etc. make up our entire labor force

And, for that, I'm sure that the owner's whose SAVs were being built that day will be eternally grateful, since their X5 & X6 will have MOST of the requisite nuts & bolts
