To think, someone got paid to write that article.

They all do that sir.

I'm sure McLaren will be very interested as to the cause, though. The first 12C fire I've heard of, and based off that (poor) article it seems pretty spontaneous

Absolutely! They are like the Toyota of supercars...

Obviously feel sorry for the owner but these don't excite me visually at all...the performance isn't bad though!

Some odd comments

"A car shouldn't cost £200,000 , its ridiculous"

Huh? I'm actually stumped on that statement.

Another one says "Its a Pity Those Three Idiots off Top Gear Were not Driving it at the time..."

[GravelBen]

Obviously trying to emulate Ferrari!

Maybe he was trying to copy the McLaren MP4-12C GT3.

Have a look at this video, it's great:
