Who really cares where its made ffs....

I imagine Mclaren care or they wouldn’t have built it there?

[Reciprocating mass]

I wonder how long untill they start making cars there also seeing as Woking is creaking at over capacity

I guess Sheffield has a better reputation than Rotherham......

'nayo, 's in Roth'.

From McLaren's own website, recruitment section.


They seem to think it's in Sheffield, perhaps they're wrong too?

They are.

Rotherham and Sheffield both shame the same postcode prefix so its probably easier to just call it Sheffield.

[Gull Slayer]

Rotherham doesn't exist.

What an odd photo.

I could understand a factory pic with people in overalls and tooling around them, but this pic capturing the moment so formally is a bit strange.

But this is the McLaren way ... formal, orderly and just a bit dull .....

Is it just me or does that look like a group of really teeny tiny people stood on some marble floor tiles with the skirting board in the background?

Didn't see that, but do now

Maybe McLaren have sub-contracted the work to the borrowers...
