  1. Best looking Mclaren yet , 570 was a piece of shit reliability wise , as another member here stated, my friends car spent 2 months in the shop on and off , he gave it back. If quality control has been improve and bugs sorted out , should be a winner. I doubt I will ever buy one however
  2. Yes , I have never owned own but I have numerous parteks below MSRP , some as much as 30% off . Have to be patient , like a car , the more of a hard on you have for a watch , the less likely you will be patient enough to get the right deal . None of them are collector pieces , so they will go down
  3. Downforce . When mechanical grip is at the limit , downforce takes over . The faster you go, the more you sucked down , that is why slow speed corners always an issue with how downforce cars . Spectacular lap
  4. No Patek nautilus is worth paying over MSRP. Did any of you check on Chrono 24 site ? With patience you could find one at a discount
  5. I did sort of , the SLR used to be my DD in the summer time , no more , I got an AMG SUV , nobody follows me around anymore
  6. A few years ago I took some cars to the track and my daughter was driving the SLR with her GF in the passenger seat . Some asshole was hanging out of the sunroof of a car taking pictures in the middle of the highway and screaming at them , he almost fell out and had to pulled back from his feet by another passenger , dumber than dumb . People never cease to amaze me
  7. Aren't you Spooky ? It doesn't sound like you are car parazzi , i am making a general statement . I can't go anywhere without being followed, harassed, having my pictures posted on the internet, being asked dumbass questions , etc .The car parazzi have become so annoying i can't give anyone the time of the day anymore , and that is shame for car lovers as i don't get any joy acting standoffish but enough is enough . I couldn't care less if anyone wants to take a picture of any of my cars when they are parked but unfortunately, you got attitude from the valet because of idiot car parazzis ruining it for everyone else.
  8. Car parazzi’s are super irritating , like beyond the charts .
  9. If parenting was taken seriously , society would not be where it is today . Some people should never have kids , it is a lifetime commitment , not a flavour of the moment
  10. Care to elaborate ? Do you know what a simpleton is or means ? I could call you an idiot for making that comment as it is totally out of context . If you don’t like his opinion , rebuff it and voice yours , or ignore him . I don’t believe some our members comments at times , do you live in caves , cannot communicate without personal insults
  11. Even more of a reason for him not to screw up . When i bought my SLR, i was invited my Mclaren to a factory visit and they took me to a track day at the top gear track. We did high speed runs and had to brake so hard we overheated the brakes on the SLR, big red sign came on the dash telling the driver to let the brakes cool . It is all common sense , it does like he panicked as he could have easily kept on the brakes and gone left
  12. It looks like the top gear track , the runway is pretty short and one needs to brake very hard . Having said that , the driver is useless
  13. 560 SEC is a really hot car , has character and road presence . Love the 2 in the links
  14. Should post this on Twitter , Val Kilmer called his suicide a selfish act and got a lot of flak for it . No doubt he had unresolved issues and his demons got the best of him , but I agree with you
  15. You are funny . Nothing that i can put in print, let's say, take my word for it .
  16. The strip clubs are a waste of time , money grab . NFL and NBA players have ruined it for everyone . The girls will tray and take you upstairs to VIP and uncork $2000 bottles of champagne and in no time you are in hole $20k with very little action
  17. It is cool till you own one
  18. By the time you buy and sell 10 shit Ferrari's and take a beating on them to qualify for the special Ferrari's , you're better off just paying a premium and buying on the secondary market . If one can afford 3 mill for a car , they can afford 5
  19. I would never buy a car that would have a lien against it for any period of time, even is it is a month, when i paid for the car in cash . Doesn't matter who makes it, total bullshit, the manufacturers have become so arrogant ,they can hug their cars for what it is worth . We shall see how they handle the next recession.
  20. This one ugly uninspired vehicle that will sell like hot cakes to its captive market , rappers and Arab sheiks . It should take over the spotlight outside of harrods which seems to be show off central for London .
  21. Funny you mention this as a friend of mine returned his 570 to Mclaren after owning it for a month and he says he will never buy another Mclaren again.
