Hello All,

Have now sold my beloved 997 GT3 RS and am on the hunt for a 12C. I want to get one in McLaren Orange, with perferable spec being:

Carbon Ceramic Brakes
Super lightweight wheels
Carbon Interior
Sports Exhaust
Stealth Pack
With the 2013 upgrades (616bhp/DRS/IRIS)


Ideally:
Carbon Wheel Arches
Carbon Mirrors
Carbon Sill
Carbon Engine Bay + Engine Covers
Carbon Splitter & Diffuser
(basically - lots of carbon)

Does anyone know of one for sale (am ringing round the dealers)? Also - anything else I've missed on the spec - i.e the must-haves?

Thanks,

Duggan

Back home in London now after a great journey back down from Manchester McLaren - what a car biggrin

To think its "only" an extra £30k on the GT3 RS - just in a different league of performance and technology. The acceleration of the car is just unbelievable - it had about 80% of the feeling of sheer speed that I had when I got on my Ducati Panigale Tricolore after passing my test - that feeling in a car is something else!

First class service from Lee at Manchester McLaren and would recommend to anyone you speak to him if you're after a Macca.

Got picked up this morning from the Deansgate Hilton in a good ol'Gently Bentley:


Mrs Rat - she's a lady:









Back home in the garage - builders had to set-up a plywood ramp to get it in as there's still a bit of work to do outside!


...and once all of the external/internal kitchen works to the house are complete, this is what I'll see from the kitchen!

GRB - can't beat the view and we're also security aware for obvious reasons - CCTV, alarmed house and garage to police station + security lights and high walls. Was also good to get a tracker system for the car - sadly can't be too careful on security in today's world.

Oh and two huge dogs....
