I was over at the Sun Inn around 4 this aft, when for the first time i can recall "that hasnt involved a beautiful female " every biker was distracted from biking chat because one of these pulled up.

Mclaren slr, may i say what a bloody car it was
Cant see a quarter of a million pound in it but yeah very nice indeed

Here's me thinking we are hard done to for ocassionally having snow up here in May!!! You lads must be hardy going out for a run with snow like that about

Joking aside that is a fine car tho

About 14 years ago (1995) i was lucky enough to have a boss called Ben Ponn (can't remember the spelling of the surname)

Took us (my mate Mike and I) for 3 laps around Castle Coombe in his black McLaren F1.

Amazing experience but the best bit was filling up on the way home. Everyone was gawking at us and I wander in to pay and get asked " what pump mate?" and I reply, "erm... dunno, it's the McLaren." Silence apart from a few gasps!!!
I remember Top Gear borrowed it for the 1995 Birmingham (think it was) Car Show and had to replace the red speed strip along the right-hand side. £245 for the STICKER!!!! And the film-makers wanted Lara Croft (Angie Jolie) to drive it in the first film, but they couldn't get the insurance cover for a McLaren F1. Settled for a Vanquish instead!

The new one you saw is a bit of a looker though, innit!!
