Ha ha, that's how I was starting to feel last week, cars selling left right and centre and unable to commit to something!
So if I'm right that makes it-
Me - Volcano Orange Coupe
Selon - Silver Coupe
Sarnie - McLaren Orange Coupe
SlartiF430 - Black Coupe
Cockernee - Volcano Red Coupe
Bispal - Volcano Orange Coupe
Bought in the last few weeks proving the point that people are waking up to the fact these are a fabulous piece of kit for the money. Their appearance has grown on me with time, frankly most photos don't flatter them, but in the flesh they are looking better IMO!
Come on WilmslowBoy, get yourself on this list!
How cool, we have our own little gang :-) I haven't been this excited since I picked up my brand new Elise in 1998!So if I'm right that makes it-

You can add me to the list as provisional
Dippy deposit paid (10 minutes ago)
Poorer dealer had to deal with my enquires all morning and then process my deposit, I have known him for couple of years – so need to view etc, just sort out rest of the funds and then collection

- At what point am I supposed to tell the wife ???
Welcome to the club guys. I too jumped from AM to Mclaren some 18 months ago. The price I paid was not much different to what they are going for now!
My only problem with the car is I haven't found anything I could replace it with . It really is that good.
I was going to go for a 540 as I thought ,on paper, the performance wasn't too far away from a 12c but after testing a 570 I wasn't that blown away. I could have ordered the 540 for around October / November del. The 570 was delivery May / June
Even to get a 540 to the spec I would like was £145 and that wasn't much off the options list

Wow, wow & wow. Lovely jubbly
I believe I nipped in first as someone was on the way and I put a deposit over the phone. Sorry if it was someone here, but if you snooze.....
That is a fair few sold, considering my one had been around a few weeks and suddenly all hell has broken loose.
Congrats on the new motor.

we can have our own uniform ... You might also need yours for when your missus finds out what you've been doing! ;-)

Selon - Silver Coupe
Sarnie - McLaren Orange Coupe

Cockernee - Volcano Red Coupe
Bispal - Volcano Orange Coupe
Dave R D - Carbon Black Coupe
WilmslowBoy - TBC

The tide is definitely turning in favour of McLaren.
So glad to see its starting to happen as they are simply magnificent cars and I knew it would.
Had my 650S spider for a year now and its been fantastic.
I'm a serial car changer normally getting bored after 12 months but there is simply nothing, even at twice the price, that I would consider chopping it in for.
In fact its so good I'm convinced its a keeper. Just such an all round accomplished supercar.
Simple supply and demand and equivalent car prices of Ferrari's and Lambo's can only mean the price going one way in the future
To all the sceptics of the last year - If you snooze you lose

We share the same great taste Andy!
They are both fabulous cars. Now that would be a great road trip in a McLaren.
Ollie W - your timing was perfect so you may join on one proviso, you must attend gang meetings wearing an apron and your left trouser leg rolled up as your car is newer than ours!
I actually think we need a committee meeting to decide whether to "allow" associate members into the newbies gang!
WilmslowBoy, you got any updates for the register, or are you recovering from telling the wife? ;-)
