Default Mp4-12c spider

One appeared behind me in Woking yesterday fresh out the factory still with the covers and stuff - pulled left and gave him the 'gun it!' sign! He very kindly obliged. Dear God. What a noise. I was shamefully excited.

I think he saw, because he continued to slow down and give it some beans and draw some 11's all the way back to McLaren.

So much want!

I suspect it's not the car you like but the Aston Martin looky-likey Ripspeed wheels.

What a poor onomatopaeic.

My favourite (from Viz) is a zig-a-zig-a-ah. Apparently the sound made when masturbating to a Spice Girls video.

That must be a long time ago on several different levels...

I have a lot of time for that! Although admittedly it's a little chavvy to the McLaren understated, but I'm cool with that.

I agree with the above, the gt version is awesome!

Re Fap - its one of my favourite urban dictionary terms! Second only to an 'unfurnished basement'....

Actually the wheels are the worst bit and the worst bit of the stock car is the overstyled multitude of sweeping lines and curves (intakes and front bumper)
Seems to be the way with modern cars
