Got to admit was a really good programme, if you get the chance to see it it is well worth watching.

I figured everyone would like it except for Ludas. He will suggest it lacks emotional appeal... or something.

Soooo I guess I'm the only one to not have loved this? Too infomercial for my liking, nothing really technical.
I wanted to punch the acoustics engineer in the face "I made it sound like that" *brrrrr* (<-that's a vacuum noise, btw)
And the pistons do not go in the head!

Car looks great in silver though.

It was essentially a corporate marketing video made for McLaren by the BBC. Was interesting, not fascinating.

That was a spectacular look into the MPC and the culture of McLaren. This must be the only automotive manufacturer that doesn't use power tools. I would have never considered it possible to efficiently build cars without power tools. Certainly will avoid any cross threading of bolts and ensure that every part has been touched by the McLaren spirit.

I love the fact that you have to enter through the tunnel and go up the elevator into work.
