Thanks for sharing, Kerry.

It's all a bit Geek for me and I got bored. But I applaud McLaren and cannot fault their attention to detail and probably build quality.

I don't really aspire to their cars as I expect them to be unattainable dreams. I haven't checked but I imagine residuals are rock solid. So they will remain outta my league indefinitely.

I think it's amazing that you have one, Kerry, and I demand that you bring it along to our next Campaganza. And that you take me to our chosen hillwalk in it

That's one of the plans for the year......if only for the stupidity of it.

Residuals on the 12C are good and if I keep it long enough who knows, mine is number 50 built, which means hand built before the production line started. Coincidently my exige was also no. 50.

I don't aspire to buy one of the new ones, the 12C was a specific objective I'd had for a while. Almost exactly this time last year I decided there was a risk prices might start increasing out of range, so it was now or never. 1 year in I don't regret it, it's been a learning experience and great fun. I took it for an MOT 2 weeks ago, what a laugh start to finish. I just used the local garage, they all stopped work for half an hour and between us managed to figure out how to get the tests done. It was a struggle to get on the lift, got stuck on the brake tester and the suspension (active) caused a bit of head scratching. Not helped by the fact I had to figure out how to get some things to work. In the end job done and all had a bit of fun.

In contrast today I'm upside down below the dash of the old 911 trying to sort the electric windows.........hopefully just a bad connection or the relay, but it's like spaghetti so may take a while.

lol Kerry. I love that MOT story. You will be legend with that garage team

[Super7]

I'm sure the new car will look better than the pictures suggest and everything that's gone before will look soon look outdated, but that's when I start to like the old ones, a black 12c would do me nicely.

It really does, what a strange design feature!!

It is stunning in the flesh

The exhaust note is raspy, quite different to the previous cars. Unfortunately I don't have a link as it was just recorded on someones phone at the Glasgow launch. It is worth a listen if someone posts a car running on the net.
