Re: Doug DeMuro McLaren F1 geekfest
I’ll have an F1 LM please.


Re: Doug DeMuro McLaren F1 geekfest
Nah - looks disappointing.
Re: Doug DeMuro McLaren F1 geekfest
I saw one of those broken down on the hard shoulder of the M1 near Sheffield a few years ago. I assumed it was owned by the guy from Wakefield who also had an Enzo who was on Fifth Gear.
He looked a bit disappointed in his McLaren F1

When I said F1 GTR, I meant LM

Re: Doug DeMuro McLaren F1 geekfest
Aye, I had a poster of a LM on my wall when I was a kid. I'd take a standard one if I had to though

Watched the video, it's good to hear that Jay Leno still takes his out. There must be a fair few mothballed now that they're into 8 figure territory.

So what you're saying is that it needs boost and lowering?NotoriousREV wrote: Thu Mar 21, 2019 9:51 amThe engine sounds fantastic, no argument there. It's not even "clinical" as I think that's a stupid criticism. I'm not saying it's bad, just that it doesn't stir me. Jay Leno himself talked about it being turbine smooth, relatively softly set up, pure design that quietly impresses etc. I prefer the stripped out, flame spitting, bucking bronco F40 or the UFO looks of the Countach. I've always said, if I ever drive one, I'm sure it would leave me dribbling but it wouldn't be my first choice to buy if I suddenly ended up becoming a billionaire.speedingfine wrote: Thu Mar 21, 2019 8:01 am So you hear that engine, and you think... nah, 'clinical' or some similar bollocks.

The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on
