So a big thanks to everyone’s feedback and advice when looking at cars, it was invaluable in finding the right car for me so here it is.

My thoughts so far;
• It’s not slow is it?
• I’m used to attention from having various Astons but this is a whole new level
• Don’t buy one if you have a bad back, it will get worse!
• Keys – wow these are cheep and nasty! Any after market alternatives?
• Why do my wing mirrors never remember the position they were at when I get back in the car?!
• Sound….. really disappointing. Appreciate I’m coming from a N/A 6lt V12 but I think McLaren could have made more effort in the sound department
• B&W stereo is a bit disappointing also, but probably because I’m used the 46 speaker system in i7.
• Traction – I’ll make a separate post about tyre choice

I took the car to V Engineering, again recommended on here, what a great bunch of people! VERY knowledgeable and helpful, I’d suggest anyone buying a used Mc visits these guys. Mine is from a main dealer so full warranty but they still found some issues I can get looked at right away.

Overall I’m really happy with the car and I’m confident I got the right car for me.
