No Boss · November 9th, 2006, 02:20 AM

Im wondering if this should be in Entertainment or Gen Auto... but oh well, check it out:

Anyone with the National Geographic Channel might want to watch this tomorrow night.

Does sound very interesting. I'll have to find time to watch that.

Hopefully someone will copy it and torrent to download. images/smilies/smile.gif

Thanks for posting about this! Wow what a great show! That factory is huge! I didn't realize just how much work went into a Ferrari. It looked more like they were building custom cars than full production ones.

The worse part of the show was that the narrator kept calling it the "five ninety nine". That just sounded weird and got really annoying.

The highlight of the show was the clip about the American designed shock absorbers they use on the 599. images/smilies/tease.gif

I'm attempting it, but it'll be my first go at capping, so it might not be brilliant.

Thanks Vette Boss.

Vette Boss · November 10th, 2006, 08:09 AM

Damn it. I couldn't get my stuff configured soon enough, missed showings tonight. I'll have another go, when it comes on again. It will probably air during the weekend.

KaJuN · November 10th, 2006, 08:19 AM

The show's site says it also airs Sunday at 7 PM. I assume that's eastern time.

It will be great if you can get the video on a torrent i am sure it will be a intresting show...

wooflepoof · November 19th, 2006, 01:53 AM

Just saw it for the second time...it was awesome, tho the showed an F430, a 612 AND a maserati while talkin about the five ninety nine. Theres SO much they didn't (couldn't?) tell you tho, but after watching it it seems to sort of justify the price tag w/ a little extra for profit and to keep the cars exclusive

bartboy9891 · November 19th, 2006, 03:41 AM

yea i got the same impression, that the price isnt SO ridiculous if you consider the care they put into everything.

Also it gave me a real appreciation for hand built cars, i was always impressed by them but i wasnt aware of all that was involved. It makes you wonder how cars like TVR's, which are handbuilt, can be sold for relatively low prices. Sure they arent reliable in any sense of the word, but its still impressive

wooflepoof · November 19th, 2006, 03:48 AM

It seems like the machines are there to only do the superprecise stuff that normal human hands can't do

stuntfreak · November 19th, 2006, 10:29 AM

anyone has it on torrent?
