Just completed nearly 500 miles today on an absolutely epic road trip in North Wales.

It was light until 10pm, and the roads were deserted. Driving nirvana

Killed a few bugs !



What an absolute amazing car this is.
The way it punched out of corners, yet feels so light and tactile. It corners so flat and rides so well

Even though I’ve now had it a year, and now ticked over 3k miles in my ownership, today was a truly special driving day and firmed bonded with the car

Fantastic pictures of a fantastic car
I very nearly bought that car from THJ before you did, but they were a bit pessimistic on the SoR car I wanted to trade so unfortunately I missed out as by the time mine had sold you had bought it!
I just think it looks absolutely fantastic in that colour and spec, I was shocked to hear about you wanting to sell it but glad you've kept hold of it.
I ended up buying an orange 570S spider in the end, hopefully I'll get to a couple of events soon as would be great to have a proper look at it in the flesh!

Awesome. I bet the Porsche was still hard to keep up with out of the corners with its cheating 4wd? smile

Drop me a PM when you decide to sell, you never know....

Its not just the awd. The power delivery completely different in the Porsche with silly amount of torque low down from I think like 1950 rpm. The Mac delivers its full torque at 5000rpm so you'll easily keep up once you are at WOT and chase the power more than you have to in the Porsche. But look at the Mac in purple - so cool smile

But after looking at the classifieds at 650s, 675Lt, 720s and other 12c. I do not think I could have parted with the purple peril smile

You are right currently, but we’ll see what comes up during winter

I have other cars I can enjoy until then

…..and it’s gone frown

Think the new buy frequents pistonheads so they may say hello.

It’s been a great car. I had it 13 months and covered 4,000 miles and it leaves me in rude health and ready for the next owner to enjoy.

It won’t be my last McLaren, it’s been my 3rd and if the right 650S Spider turns up over winter I may be tempted, or chop in the GT4 for a 991.2 manual GT3

I was out for brekkie yesterday at one of the favoured Peak District haunts & wondered if we’d see you?! - will have to look out for you in another of the cars in your fleet now wink
