yeah the vw factory was in clayton. so many ovals - its a shame theyve nearly all dissapeared

that was when Australia was a British colony, not the 51st American state, and before "liability" was in the oxford dictionary.

I have my doubts that is is Australia. A few people look like they could be working, and there arent any girly posters on the wall.
