very nice the Mclaren F1 I remeber hearing that if you pass a bugati veyron in one of those at 125mph the veyron will still beat the Mclaren to 200mph ?? and andyf's car will beat the veyron to 200mph seems like a downgrade to me

I wonder if we should all start calling the dealer up. I mean he did not put a price on it, so its hard to tell what he is wanting

You would have thought they would have worked on that....especially as it might have a small effect on the aerodynamics?

I'm sure. I've not made this statement strictly as a criticism, why re-invent the wheel etc. It can make a lot of sense where costs come into play(some TVRs use the same wing mirrors for instance). I suppose if I paid £xxx,000 on a car, I wouldn't want to see bits of a vauxhall or VW. These cars are VERY expensive so why cost cut?

Random story about supercars.

Jeremy Clarkson once turned up in a Ferrari to look around a posh prep school in Oxford for his kids.

Twenty of the little blighters already there were needed to push the Ferrari off the sleeping policeman he beached it on it the middle of the school drive!!

"Now I understand why all the mothers need 4x4s" he said to the Headmaster!

I remember reading a nice article about one of these somewhere - McLaren offered to do the MoT for it, for a cool 10k per time.

Of course, if the owner wished to trust it to Kwik-Fit to save some money, they were welcome...
