There’s not a single part of this that i’d want to change in any way - for me it’s absolutely perfect.

Lovely car. The wheels on these are so much better than the earlier road cars.

The 5th gear review of the orange F1 LM with Tiff is seered into my memory 😁 The Enzo may as well be a brown Marina as far as I'm concerned, no comparison 😄

Send me links to cars for sale with throttle bodies.

There’s a reason that every McLaren driver signing is photographed here, but it a big name or their youngest driver development programme.

Pretty sure I saw that F1 stranded on the hard shoulder of the M1 near Sheffield years ago.

You can keep your Bugattis and Paganis, the F1 is still the pinnacle for me.

I remember that. Awful outcome for the Corvette, but IMHO just a very unfortunate coming together in busy busy traffic.
