Oh lordy how I giggled....

Sitting in traffic on the M25 yesterday, what comes past, an F40. Not a bad car to spot when coming into winter. But.....

On the way back from Newhaven, I saw a car parked on a layby on the a23. I recognised the rear end, but it had two small tailpipes coming out of the afterburner sized exhausts. They looked like track day noise reducers. I carried on staring, staring, nahhhh it can't be? Its only a brand new McLaren MP4-12C sitting in a layby. They arn't even due for release until next year, in fact there is no set release date.

Oh yes, I enjoyed it. I should have stopped :( Gutted.

[Daimo]

nahh it was matt black, so im thinking its the same car as Jenson and Lewis drove at Goodwood in June/July ish time for testing.

I really want one, plus the F40 on the road, in the wet and cold, fair play.

I was lucky enough to get a look at this last year.

I have a friend who was working on the prototype and design:)

Nice looking motor up close.

I saw a couple of these going up the hill at goodwood, they were a bit boring to be honest but then they were amongst some incredible exotica.

You also see them going up and down the M4 most days too between testing.

Yup, sounds about rite

[hindle8907]

all this talk of semis where's reeder ?

[Owenski]

bathroom no doubt.

[Daimo]

Fade - Where-abouts?

10 registration means the start of this year, so I wonder if its a customer car or testing car?

Only stuff I can find is that sale to public (sorry, I meant rich gits) is early 2010, with the GT2 and GT3 race cars in the following 2 years.

[rowdy]

I spotted one early summer this year, a white and black camoflaged test car on the A281 just outside of the topgear test track at dunsfold. It was shown on an episode of TG later in the year with Jay Leno.

[Daimo]

Im really hoping it'll show that pesky designer whoare 458 and those pesky all look the same 911 turbos a clean set of heels. All McLarens work, engine etc.

In fact, this picture is automotive pornography...

You'll all think me barking when I say it vaguely reminds me of a Chrysler Neon:lol:

I thought it was a Toyota, but yea, Neon is closer.

[Daimo]

I'd love to see the Neon's up your way then as I can't think how they look remotly similar in any kind of way? :lol:

[Ed]

Rounded front, rounded back.

Soz D but cars don't do it for me. Semi - no, nowhere near. I wish;)

[speedplay]

More like the old H*nda NSX

[Daimo]

Honda NSX is a great car.

But still, matching a Mclaren to a Neon :lol:

[Viney]

The Mc is ok, but it looks whey too much like the 458 for my liking.
