ridiculous good post

Where did the pictures come from Alex? They took all of our camera's when we were there.

That machine you show was amazing. It's freeze, heat process for the rods of the engine was so cool.

That 250 GT Lusso - :drool:

looks kinda relaxed compared to the BMW assembly line where all the workers look like clones controlled by a main computer :)

I actually felt there was one person too many at every car.

The V8 line shown in the pictures takes 20 minutes per location and there was 3-4 people working on each spot. I guess they need it but I sure don't know why. Very organized, each car has a box that travels the entire line with it with all extras. Not a lot is automated either except the handling of the cars and movement around the plant. Still 90% down by hand in my book. The windshield robot was cool as well. All good stuff.

I was totally amazed that I had any interest in it honestly I only went because my nephew wanted to see the place so I called FNA and asked them to squeeze us into a tour. To my amazement I thought it was cool as well.

The FXX (tho I hate enzo's) and 599XX and F1 sections of the factory were cool if for nothing else to see 20 or more FXX, 30 or so F1 cars and at least 15 ea 599xx in one warehouse. I followed the rules and snapped no pictures but I will say a certain all White with blacked out roof and window FXX would have been an easy choice on the A) Which car would you like to Lap Fiorano in Mr H20 :) question

2800 employees and the first pictures you see of the engine assembly line are mainly Maserati engines btw.

My original opinion of going to see the factory was I love my Ferrari's and I love my wife but on neither occassion did I really want to see how they were made :smilie:

Alex thanks for fixing this thread up! Sick shots! OMG!

Thanks guys! Just posted on our facebook wall too!
