Good luck, enjoy and look forward to an appraisal of the car once you've given it a good drive.

They are such good value now I'm wondering about adding one to the collection

the best all-round supercar ever.

off to Spa in mine again April. will waft there in comfort with the music blasting then, once at the track, turn the dials and drive a car that actually works on track. just stunning in every way.

13k miles so far and i should hit 20k before the year is out..

I agree, having tried manual, flipping eck, wow, supercar indeed, and back to "normal" if you can call it that, back to everyday use.

Fun aren't they ;-) The speed and composure of the thing never ceases to amaze me, yet it's comfortable whilst pottering around. The only thing that winds me up, is the every crazed nutters in
hot hatch's that permanently want to take you on, they obviously have no idea. Enjoy!

One week in and wow.

I am a shrinking violet and hate all the attention I am getting, well the car anyway wink

Thumbs up everywhere, people stopping to let me out at junctions, cars diving out of the way to let me past, people driving behind me with cameras etc.

Loving every second, and add to that the sheer driveability, and then hit the loud button, set to manual, flipping eck, this is by far the best I have ever owned or been in, and I have been in some nice kit.

McLaren, British design and British made.

Someone said to me yesterday that its the thinking mans supercar, well, I do not profess to be a thinking man, but thanks for the compliment smile

We used one of these in Miami for a music video for Lil Wayne and the attention it grabbed was amazing.
The only downside is the fact that so much tech is inside this vehicle and only a few people realise. Its like owning a winery and being tea-total smile

It always amazes me how many people don't know what it is. Lamborghini is a regular question because of it's doors. You'd think that somebody
who knows Lambo's have lift up doors, would know an 12C isn't one... It is cool though when you answer "No, it's a Mclaren" :-)
It's without doubt the quickest thing I've ever owned, the scary thing is how easily it does it, whilst remaining extremely comfortable to drive!
Have you played with launch control yet?

Not tried launch yet, that's to come. So far when flooring it I can't get past 3rd, it is light speed, it's like someone is throwing scenery at you. Love it.

I have posted on the 911 GT3 thread, as I got this as a result of cancelling mine, best move I ever made.

They seem to have gone a little quiet on me smile
