For those without Sky and familiar with Bit torrent this is availableit was first broadcast in Feb 2011, you can pm me for the torrent link or Google Maserati torrent...

 

[conaero]

Oooohhhh counting the minutes!

 

[conaero]

What a program, loved it!

Advise you all to get the torrent and watch it.

Every car when it comes of the line goes straight out on the track and is run flat out at 185mph on the banked circuit then its ragged within an inch of its life.

What is surprising, when the car comes off the production line that takes 2 and a half days, it takes a further 8 days being inspected, adjusted, fettled and polished.

In in summary, a guy with loads of rings on his fingers rubs around the bodywork checking for scratches!

Quality control ie "adjusting" seems to mean a guy hits parts of the car with a hammer so the doors/bonnet will shut.

The car is put on a dyno to make sure its not making too many horses.

They flog it around a track.

and finally some guy covers your car in swirl marks with his angle grinder.

Great!

Si, I did comment to my daughter about the rings when I saw him, I wont even let a valeter touch my car if they wear rings.

I actually thought that program was a bit disappointing, the AMG SLS episode was far more informative. They didn't even show the bodies being painted, the engine's being made or the leather work being done. Seems to be big omissions for a "hand made" car.
