Mind you, you'd think I'd be smiling.

Did the owner let you have a little drive, or at least take you for a ride?

McLaren themselves brought the car to us and even they are not allowed to drive customers cars on the road. Only on tracks and with a special racing licence for insurance.

oh.... and we also had the new Merc SLR supercharger.

What a bummer, well at least you got to dyno it. Most people will never even see one, nevermind sit in one.

interesting to see how these cars `realworld` figures compare to magazines and manufacturers claims http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I thought they were about 600k new. ?Could be wrong though.

I'm sure that is one car that won't depreciate much, like most.

The two of them together was over ?1,000,000's worth.
