Well not quite like that but more like your typical car production line.

Cheers for that. The way the EPG on my TV listed it, I thought it was part 2 of 7 so didn't bother to watch it all. It was only at the end when they said next week is how to build a satellite I realised it's not 7 parts about the car.

They appear to be getting even busier as we keep packaging work up for them!
Very similar in many regards but Ferrari have a much bigger factory as they've been producing cars for decades.
They also build their own engines in house.
Saw a similar program about it on the Discovery channel iirc.

I didn't get on with this programme, it didn't grip me.
Couldn't stand the A380 one, it was just like the Rolls Royce pro-British engineering propaganda style programme in the last series, which focussed on the community, reliance, then the girl engineer and how she's so young and bright and keen and full of promise. Repeat. Yawn. People don't really lap that rubbish up do they?

Me too. Well, I'm starting in a couple of weeks...
I agree. There needs to be less emphasis on the people and more on the engineering. It's not that the human side of the things isn't interesting, it's just that the technical stuff is far more interesting.
Cool, assuming you'll be working at the Cambridge site by your interests and location.Me too. Well, I'm starting in a couple of weeks...

Yep, I'm more electrical than mechanical. Are you at Shoreham?
It doesn't.
Mclaren isn't just the F1 race team. There's several companies in the McLaren Group. Check out http://www.mclaren.com/home/#/what-we-do
Yeah, look me up when you start, drop me mail (in trust) if you need to know anything before too
I have to agree.
Nobody needed to know about the bloody floor tiles or the colour of the trolley wheels, almost felt like they were just playing up to the camera at times.
The program "Megafactories" on Discovery makes "How to build a supercar" look quite amateurishly made.
If we're trying to show anal they can be, I'm sure I spotted a guy chewing gum when they were fitting the brakes. Tut tut.
I found it interesting. McLaren never do anything the same as anyone else, and their headquarters are just stunning. You have to feel slightly nostalgic if you're British as this industry has been a lot more illustrious in the past but has fallen by the wayside. At least they're trying to revive it.
ive saw a pagani one before aswell on discovery

I think you summed it up better than me
It's not that I'm not interested in the human side, it's just that the whole community people propaganda thing is something you'd normally expect when they make these sorts of programmes for the armed forces. They show a bit of the technology, then focus on the pilot, then wife at home with the kids, worrying about him going away on service, the his mates, then his mum etc etc. I don't really need to see all this for engineering and, frankly, I've seen enough showcases on young bright inspiring female engineers to have got the message already.
Interesting little program.
Quite funny that they blurred out their resin transfer moulding rig and said "We don't want everyone know how we do it". Standard composite stuff really.
Brings back memories of laying the preform out for my composite wheel project at Uni. Good times
Worked with a guy who does the layup for the F1 car seats. Uber complicated shapes with really stiff fabric. Super tough to lay!

Not geeky enough. Which i guess explains why they have a good showtime to get Joe Bloggs watching.
Token young apprentice females aswell.
