I saw it on my facebook page and freaked. I knew I had to share it with my CL brothers. I am also stuck at work with an insane amount of work, BUT I will be watching it tonight. I have apple TV and will subscribe to the NatGeo channel so I wont miss these awesome videos. I thought I saw them all

I just did a little research and saw they have one on the Aston Martin one-77. I have seen the pagani episode as well.

There's a lot of interesting facts, such as how the machines in japan play music to warn people they are in use!

Despite all their advance technology, i wonder why the engine is place into the engine just by eye. Why don't they use lasers to guide the engine in.
