The building of the new McLaren MP4-12C.



Be there, or don't go.

Well half the race anyway. Rain delay and the programme ran into the next slot , which wasn't free.

Sex on wheels indeed Tony. £168,500 I think was the quoted RRP.

 

Just as interesting was the facility in which it's built.

Agreed. Most of the build isn't to different to my job, but the facility leaves it standing.

My dad's neighbour is expecting delivery soon, so I can feel a trip to Berkshire coming on. It should look nice with his F458, F430, F430 16M, Alfa 8C, R8 Spyder......

PS. Sadly, he's not into playing music all that much.

Enjoy, Howard. I particularly enjoyed Rachel saying she has small hands. Bonus!

2 I think will be sufficient.  Excellent programme.

 

Tony with those cars he has no need for any other music.

The 8C's engine note is just incredible. A race engine for the road. He reckons its more hardcore than the F458. I'll try and post a YouTube link to a short video I took of the engine starting. T
