Merc McLaren thing
Discussion
Seen parked on the A1(M) M25 roundabout today ~11am with a HATO in attendance. Foreign plates I think, but it looked for all the world like they'd pulled him over.
Love to know the story. I guess they didn't pull him over because they don't have that power.
Breakdown? Didn't look damaged at all, in fact it looked like the absolute t1ts!

HATO's have no authority to pull anyone over, so I doubt this is true.Love to know the story. I guess they didn't pull him over because they don't have that power.

First item on the shopping list following a large lottery win. Second item on the list, a cross-channel ferry fare and then into Germany. Find an unrestricted autobahn and then....
Horrible, horrible vehicle. Neither a true GT like a DB9 or Continental GT, or a true sportscar such as a 599 GTB or LP640. Oh & a small matter of two to three times more expensive than the competition.
Looks like it was doodled by Pinnochio. Little wonder that McLaren & Mercedes have decided NOT to combine their talents on a road car in the future. Have thus far seen two of these, first one driven by Prince Naseem Hamid & the other by the owner/Director of a certain well known (though previous Thread deleted) purveyor of cheap tat for people of questionable taste.

Who ever said this is a useable supercar is lying, it maybe once your in in but out of all the other crop of super/hypercars at the moment i found it the hardest to get in and out of, sills are very high and doors don't open very wide, and i didn't fit in the seat, i've sat in nearly all of them lately and the only one near useable was a 599. cgt was next best, but was like a reduced size 911 cabin.

Robbo,Still got that chip on your shoulder eh? get over it.
I have driven two SLR's now as well as most of the other big supercars and I too found it very useable (once over the sills and in) and very easy to drive. Quite tricky to park due to the length of the pointy bonnet but much more user friendly than the Carrera GT with its very tricky carbon clutch. True the 599 is probably the ultimate useable "hyper car" (yet to have a go in a Veyron though...)
No Ashley, no chip on my shoulder. Presume you have though, what with being 25 years of age, driving a Clio & living at home ? Still, you can always console yourself with the fact that you whilst you will never afford such a car, you do occasionally get to drive them.
Much the same really as a glamour photographer who cant get his end away perhaps ?

You say you dont have a chip on your shoulder, but how come you seem to be able to put the knife in about Kahn himself or the company given the faintest opportunity? Sounds like a chip to me, or maybe just good old fashioned jealousy?Much the same really as a glamour photographer who cant get his end away perhaps ?
If you need to know, back at home after 5 year relationship break up so only temporary. And my future inheritance will one day allow me to buy pretty much anything short of an Enzo (And yes, I do have an involvement in the family business too so will not just handed to me for no work on my part).
(oh, and my Clio will smoke either your Saab or Alfa Romeo.....)
Think on.
