Going to stay in Limbrug this weekend.
This is the province where our loved ones where built. So I can't just go there and leave.
Have contacted the factory to ask permission to drive on their ground to take a couple of pics. No answer as of yet but we'll see. Maybe I can get a tour.
I'll show the pics when i get back.

Nothing to see there anymore. Volvo packed his bags and went to Gent and leaving the factory for Mitsubishi ...Roo wrote:Tour of the factory would be pretty cool. Good Luck!jamooga wrote:Going to stay in Limbrug this weekend.

Wiebe,
Suggest that you'PM' Volvofox, he lives in Born and worked in the factory during the 4xx days. So he might be able to give you some usefull clues

Well,went by the factory. My darn camera decided it was enough and stopped working right then and there so I have only a couple of shots on my phone which as it turns out has the nedcar part but you cant really see it's nedcar.
A failed visit as it is.
However upon returning i did recieve and email fromthe factory. In wwhich they stated that if i would ever be in the area again a tour of the factory would be possible.
If anyone is interested the visits can be requested at factoryvisits@nedcar.nl
