Mini.co.uk tour of the plant

just been taking a look at this brilliant new feature on www.mini.co.uk there's a 12 minute time lapse video of a mini being created from start to finish, info on every section of production & interviews with production staff & management.

They've obviously spent a lot of time on this & i think it's a great idea. Really lets you understand the way a car is put together & the complex systems involved. As a mini owner in waiting & an engineer by trade it really is fantastic. Well done mini

It'll be interesting to watch how other makers of small cars respond. New car development, especially small cars is all about character these days.
