Piaggio Mp3 on the Discovery Channel tonight

Tune in at 8:30pm tonight to see a devoted programme looking at the development of the scooter covering every phase in the assembly, from drive shaft machining to production of the sump, as well as the final engine assembly and testing.

For more than ten years, “How do they do it?” has been offering its huge international TV audience a behind-the-scenes look at the world’s most fascinating industrial production secrets, revealing how our most original, innovative and technologically advanced products are created.

It’s a fantastic chance to have a behind the scenes at the headquarters of the Piaggio Group on Pontedera (Pisa, Italy) to look at one of the world’s best-selling three-wheeled scooters, which to date has sold more than 130,000 models

Thanks for the heads-up! icon_thumbs_up.gif
It's only “How do they do it?”, "Mythbusters" and Sky+ that's prevented me from cancelling SKY. I'm convinced I'm paying them to watch their fookin' adverts! :x
Recently it seems to be 10 minutes of program, then 5 minutes of adverts, 10 minutes of program, then 5 minutes of adverts and so on... popcorn.gif
