By the way, those rumours about Maclaren dis-assembling some 458's. Untrue.
They did, however, entirely legally manage to get one of the very first 458s off the production line and scrutinise it from top to toe. Ferrari soon found out about this and were quite bent out of shape.They always had a competitor in the back room being taken apart.
I thought it was common practice?
How can they stop it if they bought the car legally?

Nice review! Interesting to see the Sunday papers ignored the embargo; seems like some people aren't too happy about it: http://twitter.com/harrismonkey/status/36839920177...
That's extremely bad form from The Times.da_murphster said:

Ferrari try hard to control who buys their limited edition cars and their early production run cars.
In this situation, although as far as I know they had made no special effort to keep McLaren in particular from seeing one of the first of the production run, they were pi55ed that one of their "best" customers was not as devoted to them as they had presumed.
