Thanks - not seen that before. Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

[Streps]

Very nice video

[LDN]

Indeed!

[Total loss]

Wasn't expecting that, very different perspective, but it worked, lump in throat time. Very proud to have been part of it.

A bit of a tear in the eye watching that, always been intrigued by Bruce, although he was befor my time.

How unlucky can you be.. hitting the box with miles of run off on either side..





the man himself



They have moved on a bit since then...

Epic and emotional.

It's good to see some emotion attached to the Mclaren brand - at last.

That's the first pic i've ever seen of the accident or the accident site back then.

Brings it all home.

"This video has been removed by the user" . . . . . seems I have missed it ,unless anyone has another linkie .

[LDN]

I wonder why is was taken down... it was such a great and no frills / emotional video. I will look out for it.

When I watched it last night the user name didn't read like an official McLaren like name. I wonder if someone had ripped it, from the official location and it's been removed at McLaren's request.

My other thought is it was part of the temporary live stream, from McLaren for the launch, the live show is over, the video disappears with the streaming.

Another idea is they're being cleverly and (like me) I've immediately signed up to their official TheFifthDriver twitter feed that was publicising the launch so next time I'll be right there next time. As an old vaudvillian might say "always leave them wanting more". Clever marketing strategy? You'll see it again Sky will probably borrow it for broadcast build up.

It's on YouTube again, just search for Mclaren 50 and you should find it.

Whilst it was, as you would expect from McLaren, a very well done video I didn't like it.

Watching Bruce walk up to his accident just didn't seem right and I'm kind of surprised McLaren made a video featuring that kind of thing.

[the other me]

This was only 3min 36 sec, wasn't the original (that I didn't watch , but clicked on the link for) around 14 and a bit minutes ? or my memory is playing tricks ?
