    I can't believe how effortless that looked, minimal shaking for driver and instructor everywhere and then 'that was 160' gets casually mentioned. No talking necessary, what a car, cheers

    Peter, did you notice that Harry Metcalfe did a small cameo appearance over your right shoulder when you were in the pits, when your door was open on the McLaren, just before the end of another excellent video.

    Really loved the video showing what a tremendous performance car this is. But and it’s a big but this manufacturer has been tarnished by very poor reliability, not helped by some under performing dealerships, and the resulting terrible residual values.
    Hopefully McLaren’s new warranty policy will now support their customers and as long as their reliability vastly improves this car will become much more desirable.
    We all want McLaren to do well so let’s keep our fingers crossed but only time will tell !

    Hi Ped
    McLaren has always been a favourite in this household. Going back to the 90’s when the F1 was a sight to behold in the Park Lane showroom. I promised Mrs P if she wanted to spoil me we would never lose money.(obviously I was overlooking the small matter of purchase price & servicing) However I was right about the future investment value. Fast forward to Goodwood when the 12C was shown for the first time. Again loved that car. The current cars are amazing and still outside my budget😥 However thanks for sharing, I am “slightly” envious.😉

    You must have to pinch yourself sometimes. That is a car on a whole different level to what us mere mortals get to drive. I can't really get my head round that kind of power after driving my JCW with 230ps to the i-Pace with 400ps and that car is twice that. Bonkers is what springs to mind and all the noises of the V8 and the downshifts just adds to the theater. What a car.
