RE: McLaren F1 LM: Pic of the Week

[RoadRunner220]

Great car, great picture.

It could be a while before my background picture gets changed from this.

Fantastic car. One of the top 5 of all time.

[Gandahar]

The F1 is epic, this is even more so, the wheels are probably the finest ever in conjunction with that orange body.

The rarity value is stunning. Ron got one and so did Mansour Ojjeh, there is one at Mclaren that was promised to Lewis before he moved to Mercedes I believe. So he never got it.

Who owns the other two?

Considering the price of normal F1 cars if this goes to action this might be worth $100m.

Which is half the price of some footballer nowadays ......

If you want to see it in moving with some sounds

That Oldsmobile tops it as well . Epic sound .. wibble

It really shows just how advanced the F1 was that even today it'll not only keep with new hypercars, but in other areas exceed them. If any car deserves legend status, it's the F1. Even better that it's a British built car xD

Great link. Thanks for that!

Feel a little sad knowing I'll never have anywhere near enough money to ever own one though...

What a machine. Didn't realize it was a BMW M Power engine powering it...

Amazing car, personal favourite is the blue HDK'd car:



And for an amazing eargasm, Nick Mason's road converted race car driven by Steve Sutcliffe:

GTR not an LM

Still obviously a mega, mega spot. Highlights the problems with owners of GTR's painting them Orange like the LM though.

Yeh those pesky lookalike copy cats.

I agree with you all, must be the best of all time, so far as pushing the envelope goes. It's still got more power than most modern super cars, looks better and is lighter, plus it'll need driving, not just stick your foot in it and let the computers keep you on the black ribbon!!!! Brilliant thing! The 90's version of the Muira. Leagues ahead.

[Gemaeden]

If only it steered a nicely as an Elan. Still you can't have everything.

[florian]

... well, even Lewis can't have it all!

Sorry about that guys, it looks like the image quality wasn't ramped up when saving.

The links should now work with the higher resolution images that will look a lot better on your desktops.

Nik

Fab, thanks. Beauty restored on my desktop once again.
