Mclaren P1 Spotted
Discussion
Why does he move his cars on so quickly?
Seems pointless.
He may not be in the trade but I'd imagine the 4 RS 4.0's were only purchased to move them on at a profit. I can see no other reason for it.
For someone supposedly well connected for new cars he makes an awful lot of incorrect statements regarding them.

Well while slagging off the P1's build quality he said it only takes 1 day to build one.
Which anyone with a brain would know is absolute nonsense.
How's that for starters?
That he, with his 'inside knowledge' actually believes that, does his credibility no favours.
He can flip cars as often as he wants, but it did suggest he may be in the trade. If not, so be it.
No-one is trying to make him appear to be what he's not. There's no witch hunt. People are reacting to his behaviour on here, nothing else.

I'm told he's been banned on McLaren Life as well for his style of postingWhich anyone with a brain would know is absolute nonsense.

Was APOLO1 previously known as RedFive1 and banned for similar antics when the 430 Scud was on the release scene a couple of years ago and going on about his Cessna Citation/Gumpert imminent order etc etc etc.,
Just seems very similar posting style/attitude from my admittedly s
te memory.

So if you know him are you able to confirm....
Is he such a warrior without a keyboard in front of him?
His general attitude sucks and he really does himself no favours, lots of money does not automatically equal 'likeable' with his apparent level of self importance. Shame for him really as it's quite a list.
He is actually a very nice chap who will do anything for his friends . Yes in" real life" if you poke him with a stick he will poke you back . To the death .Is he such a warrior without a keyboard in front of him?

Perhaps we've just been spoiled by some other contributors to this forum who've been able to offer genuinely interesting insight into the ownership experience of these sorts of cars, give controversial and highly opinionated views of certain marques and manage not to get everyones' backs up in the process by doing so in a manner that doesn't make them come across as a bit of a prick.Guam said:

The only thing suggesting he was "in the trade" was the febrile imaginings of those on here (something we see a lot on here), there was I am afraid an attempt imho to make him appear a troll by suggesting he was "in the trade" indeed comparisons were made with Rocco were they not?Which anyone with a brain would know is absolute nonsense.

I know it winds many folk up on here but there are those fortunate enough and successful enough to be able to afford the latest toys.
I am limited to being able to do this with I Phones
The 1 day thing may have been badly expressed, my understanding is that one will be rolling off the line every day, that of course is not reflective of the man days involved in the build. However in that sense one built per day sounds consistent with what I was hearing from the initial estimates.
At no point did I call him a troll. His posting style is primitive and arrogant, and people have picked up on it.

If arguing with Americans was grounds for a ban here, half of us would be gone his style of posting was the alleged reason D**** was bannedGuam said:
Don't know as not a reg on there but I am informed its not a perma ban, mind you its not like we all aren't asshats from time to time on here (myself included)
Not sure why this is such a big issue tbh
I have seen far worse in these hallowed halls over the years without a banhammer.
Perhaps its time for a modicum of civility on PH in future
Stop brown-nosing, what are you his b*tch?Not sure why this is such a big issue tbh

Let the man defend himself (or more likely dig an even bigger hole for himself)
He should take a leaf out of Flemke's book, and he was far better informed.
Chaps, anyone that drives this kind of car or has their actual name (P4UL B) as the reg plate is hardly shy of being identified, add some high profile news for the sale a UK telecoms business for circa 28 Million, and a feature in the Manchester evening news when merely going for an oil change and we can quickly asses that his identity is hardly cloak and dagger stuff. More importantly check out Manchester Evening News for a small piece and footage "Off for a spin: Businessman takes his new McLaren P1 supercar for a drive down Deansgate" for a quick piece on the owner and car.
