A great video; I watched it (or a similar version) on MINIUSA while I was waiting for my 2010 justa to be built and delivered.

Obviously older MINIs since they were using the old keys to start. I wonder why my ordered MINI had less than 1 mile on it when it arrived here if they do all that testing AND drive it on and off trains, ships and trucks?

Love it too. Keep it on my iPad for emergency viewing when I need it :-)

I think it's standard practice in the automotive industry to test a sample, rather than to test every vehicle.

Thanks for sharing the video. Can't really say if it was a repost. I always meet new people, and hear new jokes daily. I've never watched a rerun, and all news reports are fresh and exciting.

That was terrific to watch. Not knowing about how other cars are manufactured, is the level of automation typical with other car companies?
