Re: McLaren MP4-12C
Got to agree with you, BP, but all too often the tech element is woefully lacking.

I know of two people that have both rejected cars and returned them for full refunds + interest. Although mclaren will have you believe they were sold back to them. Ron Dennis even wrote personnel letters to owners apologising. I bet none of that was covered in the programme.

Re: McLaren MP4-12C
Anyone watching this?
If I said car brakes still look a bit old hat. The v8 explanation is a bit factually incorrect

Re: McLaren MP4-12C
As for " fitting the pistons in the cylinder head " haven't done that since my Austin 7!

Re: McLaren MP4-12C
Overrevved it & when pressed the clutch pedal the crank bent, centre pot rings came out of bores & it went BANG!
That took a lot longer to explain, but drove it home though.
