Very nice and its not a silly price at 150K (oh wait what I'm I saying ......you can dream) although still have an Aston.

Stunning looking car though it may be, I'd be off to the next 'Prancing Horse' dealer with that kinda ££££££ wonga :yes nod:

Lovely looking car, reminds me of a cross between the 458 and the Konnnnnnniiiiiiinnnnnggggggsssssseeeeeegggggg (or something like that!) I love how you don't get a true feel for the speed in which it can move until you see Lewis pull away from Jenson at about 3:34 in the vid and you just think wow, that thing is rapid!

I'd much rather get a Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini for that money... :yes nod:

Thing with this car is I think it looks dated. However...

It's a McLaren. Nobody else does a full carbon body for 150K, and there is a reason for it - it's going to be an awesome bit of kit. Very different car to Ferrari and Lambo though, good as they are these will be bought by people who know about cars rather than city wide boys who want a flash motor.

I'd have a very long think about it though - it would be between that and a Lambo drop top in gunmetal grey for me.
