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.

I think you meant this wiki link though :?:

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.

That car list is missing all of his important cars, like his 205, Clio, Renault 5 turbo, Integrale, M3...

Every road car should have the LM front bumper.

Prefer the road car spec. I've grown to be anti-aero addenda lately.

Maybe just remove the rear wing... :lol:

I’m usually the same Rob, but I literally had a poster of an F1 LM on my wall when I was a kid.

I’d sell several organs for one :lol:
An absolute unit
