the design is understated and imo japanese looking. i like the front, hate the back. the gt3 racers look miles better with the aero treated front.
interior is lovely though, the engine is a masterpiece [have toured ricardo's engine plant with some of the engineers involved] and by all accounts it is a very precise, nimble road weapon. i just wish it looked a bit more cohesive and daring, like the old esprit concept

the 458 is a great looking car, particularly in tdf blue. i just think ferrari interiors are too toylike. same with lambs, they just look OTT. mclaren seems to bring a degree of understatement and design to the party, not that i can afford any of them!
spotted a maroon 2cv on al khail earlier - most amusing. also a lamb0 670sv outside my building and a very cool land rover defender double cab pickup in the ranches, had team saluki stickers on it but they ignored my wave
ps - anyone know why there's an eppco aviation outlet behind the ranches? is there an airstrip up there?

I used to fly this up there, behind the 'Ranches....
One thing I havent done since leaving the UK is waste money on RC stuff??
So, point me in the right direction, and i will get on with it

Am I the only one who is completely underwhelmed by the Mclaren..?
Just doesn't seem to have the "wow" factor of the F1 IMO.

Particularly the electric one we saw at the autodrome.. Just doesn't seem to have the "wow" factor of the F1 IMO.

If I had the sort of money needed for one of these for very capable but at the same time fairly anonymous daily hack I reckon its not bad.
The number of people at the last Sunday Service I went to who looked at one in white and then wondered what 'the funny badge on the Evora was' was frankly staggering..

Dragonmart is your one-stop-shop for cheap, crashable, aircraft. I have now gone electric; for 600 chips you can get a 70mph electric jet with everything required to crash it into your parked car....

Its high time i bought something else that will be used use and then thrown in a cupboard!
(or smashed into the ground, and then the talcum powder sized bits slung in the bin)
Not sure if it the same one, but.....................
Im sure that there was a 'recreation' for sale on Crank& piston a while ago?
If it is the same car, i have seen it around Motor City a few times, and it is bloody lovely, and having seen it passing a few times on emiratas road, will confirm that the driver uses it as was intended!!
From memory it is an old shell, 3.2 engine and g50 gearbox, running with modern air con.
Lovely.
