On Friday afternoon by the Silverstone Porsche roundabout I saw an awesome F1 with the plate F1 TOO
Looked incredible and cheered up my traffic riddled drive!

Yep!! Amazing! Brilliant to see it out being used on a Friday in traffic! I almost went round the roundabout again so I could see it again!! It seems that quite a few of the owners on here, ie Andy, Flemke actually use them rather than be garage queens.

Was discussed on here a few years ago, apparently belongs to (or at least used to) the former manager of the band Genesis.

it is a mighty nice house! and he has some lovely cars. i remember going up to his place about 15 years ago when i went to a local after school club lol. went swimming in his pool, and one of his guys showed me into his garages. i cant for the life of me remember any of the other cars he had, as the mclaren was the only one i was interested in at the time! i would love to go and see what he owns now! but the only reason i got the oppitunity at the time was because this after school club had use of his pool every now and again.
shame i havnt seen the mclaren driving about chiddingfold either, last time i spotted it must have been 6 years ago!
