[hosedoctor]

Hi chaps,I've just put a deposit on a 650s spider for the wife,this is her first mclaren so just wondering if there are and things to look out for? Is it best to get a battery charger,that sort of thing,any tips ect would be much appreciated
Thanks

Thanks for the heads up, I know I'm going to get trashed by some now,and I know this is a stupid question but do they come with a cd changer. My other half crackes me up she ain't bothered about the performance she wants to know if she can play her stty CDs!!

It's Tarocco orange. Just have to get the kids to load up her iPhone 5!! Lol. It will be the slowest 650 in the uk..

Haha thanks for the heads up on the speedo warning! As I said above it's probly going to be wasted on the misses as she thinks you pass out if you go over 70mph!
On a more serious note do you guys run on regular fuel or the 98 Ron? Also how about the doors in the garage.
Sorry for all the stupid questions but this is our first McLaren

Hi chaps,thanks for all the replies,it really does make a nice change to get proper response other than the normal sarcastic clever comments you seem to get most of the time on Pistonheads nowadays. Im just finalising the deal,but will post some pics as and when..Then you can all tell me what a st car I've bought! Hahaha lol

Is this the car at the dealer I think called octane or something?
I looked at that online several times as it’s a beautiful thing...
Congrats to the wife!!! ??

No its not that one,but i agree thats a lovely looking car.

Well I've now paid for the wife's car and just done a online insurance quote which is with Bell who are part of Admiral? Price is £650! Obviously I'm well happy with that price but anyone on here had any issues with them?

Thanks for the replies chaps,i will look into it a bit more before i pay anything. I have to say im having trouble getting my head round this,£650 to insure a £165,000 car? My Navara is more to insure and its a 11 reg pickup truck! Lol

[hosedoctor]

Haha as I said earlier I bought it for the wife,so the only time I will probably be able to drive it is when it needs fuel!! LOL

Thanks for the advice chaps,the wifes car turned up at the weekend 😊

Sweet but the number plate needs a clean lol

What you mean the number plate needs a clean! The sale’s guy at Mclaren told me that was a MSO extra!!

One thing I have noticed when I opened the roof is that there was a fair bit of condensation on the inside of the rear panel that lifts up? It is cold in our garage (we are peasants and haven't got a heated garage) is this a common problem?
