McLaren 720S Performance
Discussion
I think it’s the roads! I’ve absolutely given up trying to find suitable roads in Kent. Everything is either too narrow, or potholed, or just generally supercar unfriendly. Even when recommended by people as having road surface quality 4/5. Maybe if they were all resurfaced and closed off for a rally... but as it stands not suitable at all.
Roads in Essex do seem to be a bit better, and you save 25 mins by not being stuck on the Blackwall tunnel approach on the way back.

I think I saw you testing it out around Kings Hill today. Looked and sounded great.
Yes, I was....but.....I took my McLaren for a drive at about 1.30pm yesterday (Sunday) around Kings Hill, then the A228 from M20 near to Paddock Wood as it was such a perfect day.
Then I went back home, swapped cars to the i3 to give my son a driving lesson and we spotted a virtually identical Azores 720S twice! Just driving around Kings Hill, at around 2.30pm. Obviously it was impossible to catch it or even his attention when in an i3
So, you might have seen the other car, or indeed mine. Did you spot the licence plate? Secondly, I had my son as passenger in mine, but the other one only had the driver (I think).

Yes, it was your car. I spotted the car, my wife spotted the plate (it's her initials).
It looks awesome. Great choice with the i3. I am on my third now.
Thanks It looks awesome. Great choice with the i3. I am on my third now.
Were you in your i3? I've seen quite a few around here now. I've had mine for 3-4 years now, and its a lightweight BEV version. My other car is an i8. Both my i3 and i8 are white with blue accents btw.
I love both the i3 and i8.

No, I was in a Porsche Macan. My third i3 unfortunately developed a run of problems and BMW bought it back. I'm now on the search for an i3s but they appear to be rare. Were you in your i3?

The 720 looks remind me of the Ferrari 550, I wasn't a fan initially and then quickly grew to love them. Great colour.
Do you live on KH?
i3S is pretty new, so I doubt you will get a used one. I drove a couple of them at BMW HQ in Munich this summer. It's nice.
My i3 has been bullet proof. Very solid and reliable car.
I wasn't sure of the 720S originally either, but it looks far better in the metal than in pics.
Yes, I am in KH.
