Well spotted Cal, so much crap on that I missed it.

Thanks Cal - will watch this with interest.

By coincidence, this morning I watched the Mega Factories doco on NatGeo about Rolls Royce and the process the Phantom (all 4 versions) goes through to be manufactured. Twas fascinating, but I suspect it's been on plenty before...

Will watch with interest. I read somewhere recently that the problem with the MP4 is that it is Ron Dennis car and it bears the hallmarks of its maker. Very clever, ruthlessly efficient, but unemotional, a teensy bit dull and curiously hard to like :)

That is what a lot of the reviews seem to say.

Bottom line is that the F458 keeps coming out on top, but as I can not afford either at present, it is hypothetical.

Mind boggling, makes hospitals look like trash bins.

Difficult to see how they make it pay with the outlay on those facilities.

They showed more than I expected. I feel for the exhaust guy he was so proud only for it to get slated.

Nice to see its updated hydrolastic suspension
