This is a great video, we've had it playing in one of the reception areas where I work. I can't believe how little clearance the trucks have as they drive through the village in the middle of the night.I'm looking forward to watching this thing land when it comes to the UK.
that's awsome. i love this kinda stuff. I'm the kinda person who wouldn't mind sitting through this kinda thing even if it were an hour long. i love to see all the innterworkings of these big machines, not to mention all the specially designed assistance machines fabricated just to make this.
I also find crazy to build big parts in Germany and put them on a train, in a boat, on a truck again, only to deliver them in Toulouse. All this doesn't make sense (both on an economical or environmental point of view). Couldn't they simply have the big parts made nearby?

That music sounded like Skaven from the Future Crew.
