Disappointed to hear McLarens are being unreliable. The Senna is growing on me. I guess I just like the function over form aspect of it. It certainly ticks the 'head turning' box that a super/hypercar should.

The only way to avoid the horrendous depreciation being to trade in to a McLaren dealer?

They probably give you the best part ex as they can fix all the stuff wrong with it at reduced parts and labour rates before flipping it on...

I'm planning to buy that set. But only because it comes with a second set of wheel trims (for no obvious reason) which I want to put on my Lego Porsche 930.

South America special was probably my favourite special from the (Old) New Top Gear so looking forward to this.

That’s a good way to split the special - waiting a week would be annoying.

Usual shenanigans tonight. That donkey segment reminded me of a Vice episode which I did not want to be reminded of :shock:
How about not having a sig at all?

I thought the first episode was ok, but this Columbia one is just boring - how have they made such an epic place into this...
