Having run a few manufacturing businesses I enjoy watching just about anything like this. when my car was being built early last year, then sent me a couple of pictures of it in process. A quick youtube search showed the entire process. Pretty neat.

What kind of car, if I may ask, and do you have any links to the production?

Cool, thanks!

When my daughter and son-in-law lived in Germany they each bought a BMW, in part of the process they got to take a tour of the factory.

Actually now that I think of it, just for the move back they traded my daughters in and got another one over there, and shipped it over here for less than it would have cost to buy a car here. Unfortunately, it was a minor nightmare getting it registered in Virginia.

this was a pretty neat experience. They kept me informed as to where in the process the car was. Including transit to/from ports, and the name of the ship it was traveling on.

I didn't get baby pics. It was 2009 BMW when I last ordered one. They did let me know the name of ship it was on so once it was out of the line I could follow. Came in through New Jersey. I would have thought South Carolina. Delivery was through dealer outside of DC. Cars are cheaper up there than central VA.

It's kind of interesting to order a car configured to my specs.

S-T is too addicting. Here I should be writting code for my hydroponics system can be testing out switch, relays and solenoids and what do I do? Try out the Raspberry Pi on start-talk. LOL.

Actually not too bad. Windows 10 > VNC > Raspberry Pi.

Well both Pis are updated. Time to get out of here.
