Never realised this was on, oh well, I'll just have to catch up on iPlayer.

Jenson and Lewis really have the worst job in the world don't they?.....

The car looks gorgeous in black.

"its a roadcar" I want to punch this narrator! I remember a thread on here recently talking of the problems they have encountered with their car IRIS etc, are any watching?

The acoustic guy doesn't sound too sure about himself. He doesn't like the sound of an esprit but drives a punto!?

Don't think he has the jap cars correctly, yes you have the quiet jazz but what about a loud type r or evo

[Chapppers]

Yay! I've been to that secret proving ground

His taste in music was pretty suspect too. I would hope they've hired someone else to do his job now.

Rubber castors are the wrong colour? Disaster!!!

Apologies for bleating on, but didn't the workers seem pretty pissed about working in their cramped quarters before moving to MPC?

[Sam the Mut]

was that a 458 in the backround?

Two four stroke engine?

The 4 stroke animation was entertainly inaccurate with the exhaust valves opening into the port on the power stroke

If Mclaren are so keen on perfection, why is the script so poor? This is almost bad corporate video level - and about as inquisitive and questioning.

There's a lot to admire about the whole process though - and the finished product sets the bar damn high.

It's just a pity that it comes across as so... passionless.

4000 a year that's twice lambos output

[Mr E Driver]

Well that was an excellent hour long advert for McLaren except the narrator was annoying and the script a bit patronising

[davislove]

bet its a jolly place to work

[Bebee]

All that money to build this car, I hope they sell enough to pull it back. Could be a Delorean fk up

I thought it was a shocking advert given how much they cocked up!

He does the 'How it's made' type stuff on Discovery.

Well that can't be where I've heard him. Never seen that before. Hem hem...


It probably isn't fair for me to citicsize, because I don't own an MP4, but given the seemingly endless list of faults and niggles with which the first cars have been delivered, I wonder if Ron "I'm soooo anal it's not funny" Dennis feels a bit of a berk...

[princealbert23]

Curiously lacking in any passion or love for the end product. I wonder how much each one actually costs to make? (seems rather labour intensive)
