acerboo · 09-11-2014, 01:16 PM

friend of my sons came round and very kindly let me drive his McLaren and didn't even ask if I was insured! 1st time ive ever driven something like this all £200,000 of it. obviously didn't go mad as its not my car, very nice but didn't feel that much quicker than the 335d.

I remember when the McClaren F1was launched, what 25years ago.
First service - £25,000.
That's right, three zeros.....😀

Wasn't as much as 25 years, but all these years later their £535,000 car is worth £2M+.

Those £25,000 services were cheap in the scale of things.

Nick the Greek · 09-15-2014, 03:23 AM

1992 Kerr, so not quite 25 years.

Hear what you say about the service costs relative to the price of the car.

Banners24b · 09-15-2014, 10:49 AM

I guess you're just fishing when you say it was slower than the 335d?

Coz I am biting.

Assume it was the MP12-4C? the one that's 300kg lighter and 300+ BHP more than the 335D

Also what on earth does your sons friend do for a living?

Desmondo · 09-16-2014, 01:38 AM

Steal cars.
