From the NewsGroup alt.fan.landroverThere was some discussion recently about the availability of stick-on DIY number plates. I went to my local accessory shop and sure enough they were available (I thought they had been withdrawn).

From the NewsGroup rec.autos.techAnyone know (on the average) how long it takes to build a vehicle? I'm curious as to how long a Suburban, Camaro, Mustang spends on the assembly line. Then I would like to know about how many man hours it takes to build the entire car (assemble the engine, trans and other components before they arrive on the assembly line).Edward said-It's been a few years since
