Completely agree with this. Why such a song and dance? Its a nice car, the chap sounds nice enough, but its hardly the coming of the messiah.

I agrre too... however...

as avid petrolheads, the Macca F1 is the holy grail of machinary to us... Hence the owner of such a weapon is deemed the messiah..

Maybe thats why the hero worship begins?

Should that not be Bwian??

[guydw]

pah, who needs an F1 ?, I'd get one but it'd mean losing either the 917 or one of the GT40s, or perhaps leaving the 250 LM on the street .........

Whatever happened to the popular front?

No he's not.

He's a Russian with a bad head cold.

I've told you once, please pay attention.

I remember seeing the car being tyre tested at MIRA and was very impressed by it then. Having also seen a Yamaha OX99 at MIRA too I can only say that it made me even more impressed with the McLaren.

I'm quite lucky, in that I worked at Yamaha (Ypsilon Technology) where the OX99 was developed and at McLaren including some ickly bits for the F1.

Lucky enough to have been a passenger in both, although in different circumstances, the Yamaha, was a real racecar really, probably more akin to a Porsche GT1 or something like that and I've always thought that for "on track" performance (and the view out of the windscreen), then the Yam' would have the F1 licked. However, in every other respect the F1 is ahead of the Yamaha.

Only a TRUE Messiah would say that.

I bet the poor bloke is terrified. He hasn't so much as uttered a word and there is a 10 page thread about him already!

Could be worse.

Ted could have posted this, and watched it drop off the board because nobody cared.

[XM5ER]

Hmmm!

He's lurked for 5 years on a well known TVR biased forum.

He has more money than God.

He loves cars, especially, fast cars.

He has a slightly foreign sounding name.

Err! Have you just spent £15 million in a seaside town by any chance?

Yes that's a big clue. Let me guess - you're a robot?
