Thank you smile I certainly love using it. It was at Beaulieu again on Sunday.

It's quite different to the Manchester car. That one is also stunning, but mine is a far higher spec overall.
Certainly is a great spec and car.

Credit to you, including the signatures; and nice to catch up at the hospitality table with yourself and Sy at Beaulieu

Giving fast rides to war veterans at Brands Hatch earlier this month.

My passenger is one of the injured war veterans, which also explains his reference to his (military) wife at the end of the clip.

Driving at no more than 8/10ths, due to passenger + also having no circuit insurance.

The 765LT can go a LOT quicker, especially in the hands of a better driver than me. Secondly, I had just switched to Corsa tyres, from Trofeo R.

Great photos at Marham. I hate the b*ggers, they hold dogfights over my house 2 or 3 times a week. The noise is deafening, and annoyingly they are rarely visible!

The sound of freedom, especially in these troubled times.

Yes it was on that day, but I had a private VIP invitation, and had MSO 1 on display there.

I was also very lucky to be permitted by the Lightning Squadron's group captain to park by the F-35 after the day had ended, and take pictures.

Great job, we tried that last year, but they unfortunately declined our invitation to have photos taken with our cars.
nice family event though.

They didn't smile

There are a number of 000 cars, some of which have MSO content. 000 McLarens are unnumbered cars, usually press fleet and pre-production cars, but also a few senior staff (directors) cars.

This was created as a gift for the F1 team.

Mansour Ojjeh knew Neil Duckworth, owner of Duckworth Prestex watches (and the man who launched Heuer in UK) and asked him to create a watch in the colour of his personal McLarens. Mansour always had a bespoke orange that only his cars can have.

I was very lucky to be able to have one of these F1 team watches.

Lovely vintage design and textured fumé dial.
