Spotted in Abz: McClaren MP4-12C

Post by Gareth » Thu Dec 15, 2011 8:17 pm

In orange. Pulled up alongside at the traffic lights expecting to see some sharp suited gent.
Nope, middle-aged lady 2" from the steering wheel. You know when folk look daft as they look to close to the wheel when driving?
Rather than think...what a waste...it made me smile thinking....lucky fecker ;-) Some car for the school run :D

I have spotted two so far. A White one heading up Queens Road, and a burnt orange one being put on the back of a truck last Friday lunchtime, just off of Anderson drive, Rubislaw area. REG: xxxx SYD

I'll tell Elaine that you called her "middle aged" :shock: :blackeye

I imagine she sits as close to the F40 and Enzo steering wheel as well :mrgreen:

You might be confusing Elaine with Jim's wife.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Elaine is wife of a dude called Syd (first or last name) who has a whole host of exotica.

Yup, Assume you would see it at the Fennel on a Sunday morning as it seems a regular jaunt for them.

One guesses the gentleman's name is Lee (owner of Orange Mc). Seen it last week at Malmaison.

Ha, come on, middle aged is polite.
I'm 30 and see me approaching middle aged! :D

I'm sure they live a couple doors down from my friend but I'm guessing they have a lock up for the toys.
Never seen them but I guess you aint gonna leave a F40 sitting about on the street.
Very nice collection.

Enzo was at this years Alford speedfest, F40 last years. I was made up, each time, as it was the first time I had seen an Enzo moving and F40 on the road.
