Congratulations on the 650s, they really are the supercar bargain ATM, which means you can drive longer & harder and really enjoy all that performance and agility without losing a pile of money. Have fun, again....

Stunning car. I’m in the market for a 650S so I may be a little bit biased.

I may have bought the wrong colour car............

As she was reversing onto the drive in the dark yesterday - and even she would admit her reversing isn't the best (she reversed into her fence a couple of months ago) - the g/f commented : This colour is a lot harder to see in my mirrors than your orange one

We have now discussed the option of putting some matting down so the McLaren can move onto the grass next to the drive, with a longer plan to extend the driveway!
You've lost me there...girlfriend...McLaren...reversing?

That's a lovely looking piece of kit with a great colour combo, particularly like the yellow brake calipers, enjoy in good health, looking dry for Sunday hopefully driving

How are you getting on with it Dave?

I’ve just collected mine tonight and got it home



Quite frankly ludicrous economy and comfort when cruising

Oh and I would add the purchase experience from Alastair Bols was 10/10 and absolutely befitting these great cars

That does look very nice - shame it wasn't there when I collected mine.

I've not really used mine much. Poor weather, combined with things being a bit busy in my personal life at the moment means it's only done a couple of short trips. But it was sunny yesterday, so although it's not something I'll generally use it for I did take it to the gym with the roof down, which was quite pleasant!

I must admit I think I am getting fairly attached to it. Should be good when it gets slightly less wet!

Sun has actually been out briefly, so gave it a very quick coat of wax. Might take it out for half an hour now since the roads are drying....







And yes - I do have lift up on the driveway!

That looks fantastic, the front end looks so sharp in comparison to the 12C
