Fascinating, John, thanks. Looks like Brooklin is poised for a bright future.

Thanks John. Always fun to see the inner workings of the factory where our our little cars are made.
I think my heart stopped when Simon said, "We have thrown alot of molds away." I'm so glad he explained it further.... 😌 😌 It was a real treat to be part of this candid tour. I wish Brooklin many years of continued success!
I might add, and equally fascinating, is to see just how many different "My Take shirts" you actually have John. 😏 😏
I think Brooklin is trying very hard to show that they've always been upfront and transparent about what they're doing. It's really nice that they would allow us a peek into the factory. It gives you a good idea of how much handiwork goes into their models.
Thanks, about the shirt, Chris. I have a veritable plethora of colors!

JK: Please warn us when you, inevitably at some point I'm sorry to say, wear a My Take shirt in "THOSE 2" colors.
@jack-dodds, you have inspired me! Thank you for so generously sharing your genius and impeccable taste.

Thank you for a very enjoyable and informative clip John. I was pleased to hear Simon say there will also be a focus of sorts on the 60s-70s cars next year; which is great considering how many exciting cars from that era there would be to choose from.
I toured the previous Brooklin facility twice so I found the comparison between the two very interesting.

I am looking forward to seeing what Brooklin does from the 60s and 70s.

@ed-davis, Simon is fired up about the new models. So is Darren. They are a potent combo.

In addition to being much smaller, what do you think the biggest differences are? Being an engineer, I would be curious as I never saw the old place.
