Anyone else see the “How to build a supercar?” last night on BBC2?
Quite a fascinating look at the MTC and new factory they have built for the MP4-12C.

Being a technical geek it was wonderful and made me appreciate the car a whole lot more. I stil don’t have £168,000 to buy one though.

@Dam00r I await my cheque in the post from you!

As for the documentry, that McLaren way of designing, building, testing, and refining a car is second to none. The amount of work that has gone into that car is incredible. I want one!

Yeah, I was astonished about the quality details and precision that goes into producing the McLaren MP4-12C. I’m de’fo gonna buy one when the dough starts to roll in.

I found Ron Dennis funny.
The replaced floor tile on the main foyer was great. How it got to him because a new tile comes in a different batch that is slightly darker in colour.

I finally got round to watching it and thought it was really good. I miss Ron Dennis in F1.
