Hi,

Recently moved into a nicer block of flats in Woking (won't say which one to keep the owners anonymity/not highlight where its stored) and since the F1 downtime, a lovely McLaren has appeared.

Very intrigued and would love to share a pint/whisky if it's anyone on here.


Happy to admire from afar

Black, looks like an MP4-12c - I didn't have a nosey around the front.

Also round exhausts, so guess the stock ones have been changed.

If you've just moved to Woking then you'll need to get used to it, there's McLaren's everywhere! I see them out on shakedown runs around town on a regular basis, saw a couple of P1's around a year before they were delivered, test mules I presume.

It's a fact, I test drove a 570 together with another through the streets one of the surrounding villages and no one gave the cars a second glance!cool

Sounds like a 650 CanAm, unless its got aftermarket exhausts from Thorney Motorsports

The 675 also has round exhaust tips as standard

Not recently moved, I see them out and about all the time.

This one is based at my new flat, and it only appeared since the f1 summer break- seemed a bit of a coincidence, maybe someone who works for McLaren just up the road?

It looks a lovely machine, my other half gives me updates when she hears it from the underground car park.

Two exhaust round tips, it's a black 675.

Number plate begins with F1, maybe a fan or worker?

Still haven't caught a glimpse of it in action, nor the owner.
