I went to the ''factory'' last year (actually the factory wasn't complete and they were building the early cars pretty much by hand, and I think, along side the F1 facility) for champagne and canapes at a pre-launch reception. All very slick as you might expect and got to sit in and get my sticky fingers on a finished car as well as being able to ''kick the tyres'' of a rolling chassis.
Impressive and meticulous but nonetheless i managed to resist the temptation to put down a £15k returnable deposit.

The programme has to be worth watching......maybe I am in it !!!***???
