Yes I suppose The Hawk is the Training Bra of fighter jets Well last night I went with anopther 19 AMOCists to McLaren's Technology centre and had a very pleasant few hours there, wined and dined, a sit in the 12C, a look at the production line and an 'access all areas' look at the F1 cars.
When I say 'access all areas', I am not kidding. Mucky paws all over Jenson and Sergio's cars being prepped for Silverstone; techs were on a break so we jut climbed all over them and fiddled with everything. Truly amazing, at Wiliams I was only allowed to look through a window (but was allowed to sit in jenson's compnay car back then). Really a great privilege and I'm not even into F1 particularly!
No pictures allowed sadly but Trinity Tim has a group shot he'll post up later of a group of men who all decided to wear chinos on the same night
Then a cracking drive home at 10pm from Woking, via Brooklands to Putney, roof off, exhaust set to valves open and actually rather a lot of fun. Hadn't driven much recently but that more than made up for it.

So if anything falls off those cars during Silverstone weekend then we'll know who to blame gibbon said:

I am not saying you are lieing, however i find that truly staggering to believe.Lucky you.
I got to have a good look over John McGuinness and Bruce Anstey's TT/NW200 bikes, and Jakub Smrz's BSB bike recently. They are awesome pieces of kit

Red Bull wouldn't allow anything like that when I've been down. I'm very surprised McLaren did.

One of my best friends works for Mercedes High Performance Engines working with McLaren and Force India, I thought security was tighter than that, I mean, the engineers/mechanics often stand in the way of the cars when cameras are trying to get a close up shot during the grid walk for gods sake! Then they let a load of old Aston duffers poke around the car being finally prepped for home grand prix?
