FAO: White MP12 between Barnsley/Sheffield Yesterday

[dave2007bc]

Anyone know the owner of a white MP12 that's around this area? Numberplate was, curiously P1 A##

Myself and said McLaren had a little play on a bypass heading towards the M1. I certainly didn't win but I was more than impressed with the fight my little kit-car put up

It's this one -



It's a Locost with a 200sx engine, around 270bhp so around 403bhp per ton. From Googling the McLaren comes in at 412bhp per ton so not a million miles off. I was doing OK until early 3-figure speeds then the lack of aerodynamics and 1800cc displacement really started to impact on my performance haha.

This is me 'chasing' a couple of Ariel Atoms at Blyton - https://youtu.be/WLfLt1Phwa0

I'm really surprised no-one knows the car, I wouldn't have thought there were that many about?

Perhaps he just doesn't want to come on here and talk about racing at a ton plus on a public road?

Yes because no-one has ever made a post like that before.

What does that have to do with what I said?

Everything. My response implied that I'd be surprised if the McLaren owner cares about such a post as there are hundreds, if not thousands of them all over the Internet.
