Can't believe anyone would come onto a car forum and slate anyone else for buying a bloody McLaren !!!! Lovely supercar, I am very jealous.

Wow, very nice, congrats DK. I recall you saying a while back the rarer MP4-12C is a considerably more special machine than the 540C/570S will ever be, she looks gorgeous!

the MP4-12C is a Super Series Car (or the predecessor for), the 540/70 are Sports Series. The successor to the 12c was the 650s and latterly the 675-LT. so yup, it will be a more special car.

Had an extended drive in a 540...holy moly! what a machine...personally I would have wanted the current R8 v10+ over it.

Sweet ride DK! hope you're enjoying it!

why sold so quickly?? I read they are crazy expensive day today and tend to go wrong frequently? How did you find it in your short time?

Prices are such its looking an interesting buy
BMW 540i
2018 GTR
F90 M5
X3MC
RS3 Saloon
RS7 FL best car I've owned. No faith in turbo oil screen (turbos failing) or sticking oil scraper ring causing missfires.
F10 M5 LCI still no rear grip lol
S7 black Edition Too big and heavy
S3 8V FL DSG 310ps, road noise is a joke
RS3 8P Rubbish
C7 RS6 Fantastic car but missed playing
GTR R35 800bhp, too extreme, crazy fast though
911 Turbo Remapped. Hated it
F10 M5, awesome but no rear grip
RS6 V10 700BHP crazy
Porsche Cayenne Turbo S 600bhp

Think he got it while waiting for the Jaaaaaag. Plus, Dave won't hold onto a car if its going to lose a lot of money.
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!
