So how come I see many people working on a car but only one signs it, do they flip a coin?

Well actually no one signs it with the Emira. It'd be nice if we were getting a little signed plaque, but just a generic badge for First Editions. Not sure if base spec Emira will get anything.

It’s based on who buys the round of drinks at their local pub on any given day.

The previous "Hand Built in Hethel" build plaques had the signature of one of four people who would have worked on the build of every car that left the factory.

Well they'd have to say "Built in Hethel" now, wouldn't they!

Am I showing my age by remembering this pastiche of the old Fiat Strada advert? Seems appropriate

Presuming they are achieving a certain rate of throughput, there's gotta be a ton of WIP. They have to be putting inventory somewhere around the facility.

As we go Bob, Bob, bobbing along.
Not the 9 o'lock News was brilliant back in the day.
The funny thing is, that it appeared on PBS channel in the US. For the unitiated, it had a highbrow reputation despite content.
