Default Serious Motor Lust...

I saw upclose a McClaren F1 today at the SCCA event at NHIS...

Carbon fiber everything!

Anyone got a spare $1,000,000 for me?

Understand the guy that owns it has 3!!!

I wish I were going. I am going to an "open house" at my brother-in-law's house. I happen to know that it is a surprise 25th anniversary party for my wife and I. Cruising to Bermuda next Sunday.

BTW, I just checked the old bi-fold and I seem to be missing a million! Jeez, after 25+ years, you would think I could trust her!

Thanks, Munch!

Now, to get back on topic:

What went on at the SCCA event today? Any racing?

Do you think that a McClaren F1 would have a chance against a Ferrari 360 Modena? (Trick question!)

guys, save your money!! The car is ugly!! I saw one a few months ago in Aspen, CO:



If I were being handed the keys to a Maclaren F1 or a Ferrari 360 Spyder, I would instantly grab the 360's keys and run... no matter what it is worth, the Maclaren is a very ugly car...
