Heyas,

Not sure if anyone saw this lastnight on National Geographic channel, but it was fookin awesome.

1hr long show all about the Ferrari 599 being built from the very beginning, and that includes them creating the block from their 'secret' metal in their foundry.

Absolutely awesome watch - I've recorded it on my Foxtel unit, but dunno how to rip of off the HDD!

Download it --> http://www.mininova.org/tor/636357

You will need a Bit Torrent client, Azureus etc etc.

do you think in 20 years that kind of quality construction will be used in mainstream cars?

Unlikely, probably go the other way ..

After watching that doco, the price tags are justified big time.

I think you will find that electric cars will be the norm in 20 years. Provided that the oil industry does not kill them off as they usually do. They are by far the best solution. Huge torque, very low part count, Lower center of gravity, more fuel efficient, etc etc. They are just better at eveything except absolute range.
