Default Anyone work at Nissan motor manufacturing in sunderland?

As above just i've seen a advert on the notice board for a clean S2 RST and somebody wrote "put it on www.passionford.com" and wondered if it was anyone off here or just somebody who knows bout this site?

Yeah! The guy who sold me the Alloys in the Wheels for Sale section
(Roddas) works there, he told me!
The wheels were on his Cab.
Could be him, I suppose! Name is Ryan D.

well at least you should all be glad you work 50% for renault uk


and that shite that gets turned out of that factory is a disgrace compared to how good the old days where

i did ten years for nissan before them renault bastards took over - whole marque went downhill, so i left as soon as we started selling their shite - good luck to all yous in the factory - i know how good the product used to be - just keep praying cranfield turns out some nice little gems in the future
