Makes a change from pencil sharpeners and spaghetti!
I missed it but seems a 7 day trial of Motor Trend includes the series... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bentley-Mul...dp/B07G9MYFYF/ Last edited by snapdragon; 11th December 2018 at 08:51 AM.

I remember when I went around the BMW factory in Munich the other year and thought, apart from the paint spray process, it was largely an assembly job with very little waste.
(Even the painting is pretty efficient due to electrostatic and related techniques) But all the really dirty processes, with muck and debris, are probably done in other countries...…
