New arrival!

400 miles in it back from Edinburgh to London - lovely car & brought to try and keep the mileage off the rocket-ship

[andrew]

love the garage bi-folds !

Nice pair, how many miles on the 12c ?

[70proof]

Wtf!!! Congrats.

Don't suppose you fancy making it triplets :-)

The bi-folds are neat - means I can see the cars & bike from the kitchen

The 12C has got 7k on it at the moment - not that I don't want to drive it all the time, just need to spread the load on other cars/bikes.

Like the reg plates! Are they supposed to suggest what the f...? Or something else?

[isaldiri]

Very nice. Been playing around with the idea of doing something similar in getting a v6 cup as a track car rather than keeping on using the 12c - at 1450kg and a lot of power it goes through consumables quite rapidly....... Not bothered about miles with 22+k though

[sealtt]

Will the cost of the extra car actually be less than the cost of doing the extra mileage in the Mclaren?

Definitely quite a statement your collection makes Mr WTF, hehe, good fun! You just need to paint the bike orange too!

Nice pair.

This answers a question I've had since running into my local 'prestige' bodyshop to repair the stone chips in my front bumper of my 12C. They put their 'colour matching' machine on the panel and declared it a match for the Lotus Orange and asked me when i would like to book it in..........

....I took it to McLaren.

As I understand it paint can only be supplied by Mclaren to there designated paint shops, hence I am just in the process of getting mine Xpel coated or similar.

If you dont mind me asking what kind of money we talking for that ?

I was just about to suggest the same thing. The expel isn't as clear as the film they use these days.
