Twingos and old gen Clios (starting at 8k euro), also development for a few prototypes (like a 2 seater mini city convertible, kind of like a Smart Roadster).

Allright, here are all the car plants in the Czech Republic:

Škoda
50°25'15.96"N, 14°55'47.03"E - Mladá Boleslav - HQ, Octavia, Fabia, the pathetic 3-cyl. petrol engines and probably some trannies as well.
50°36'41.06"N, 15°37'29.13"E - Vrchlabí, I think they still make the first gen Octavias there
50°12'14.64"N, 16°15'34.30"E - Kvasiny - Roomster, Superb


50° 4'16.98"N, 15°13'54.83"E TPCA Kolín - Toyota Aygo, Peugeot 107, Citroen C1


49°39'52.29"N, 18°26'54.77"E (probably, not visible on Google Earth yet) - Hyundai Nošovice - i30 & probably more in future, trannies, the production has commenced a few weeks ago.

Koeniggsegg isn't a large volume producer so I doubt that you are going to find huge supply lines around it. I mean how many cars do they make per year? 10? The parts needed for those can be kept in a very small warehouse.

Here are some pics of the factory from the inside. http://www.tvrfreak.com/Albums/Trips...gg/page_01.htm

Have you ever seen how cool it looks, when you enter coordinates and planet Earth, seen from Space, rotates and zooms in on those?

Besides, I have a good spyware protection images/smilies/smile.gif No need to be worried images/smilies/smile.gif

If you've found the factory (by entering it's adress for example) and point your mouse at it, at the bottom of the screen you'll see coördinates. Those are the coördinates of where you're pointing you're mouse at. In this case the factory.
