Thanks for posting the link for those of us who don't get Nat Geo, great documentary!

 

Great, thanks for the heads up Brian.

 

Thanks!

 

Awesome. That video is a must-watch. Thanks for posting the link since I missed this the first time around.

 

thanks for the link

 

"automotive ****"

I could watch that all day.

 

I was in awe the entire time. I love the attention to detail!!! Amongst other things, like engineering and R&D, it's the human touch that makes these cars really special (and expensive).

 

Love it...thanks for posting. I was also surprised how much was done by humans.

 

I want the remote control for those robots packing the inline sixes...

 

[IMG]file:///C:/Users/lfarhadi/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG]i collect old targa ads, and one of my favorites (attached) talks about how porsche's are the opposite of mass-produced. i liked the video and found it to be very educational (especially the painting process) but i was a little disappointed at the high volume (+100 911's per day). i guess i was just naive.

in the ad, they talk about doing three different road tests, including an autobahn run, with the car wearing a funny bra the whole time. seems so quaint in comparison to the video.

 

Great documentary, save the narrator's consistent mispronunciation of "Porsche." IT's A TWO SYLLABLE WORD!!!!! Idiot. Amazingly the Germans in the video got it right

 

i caught that on tv. wonder what its like to look up from the street at the car frames passing overhead in that assembly line bridge. also was surprised at how much was done by people. awesome factory.
