No it was a uk private plate, owned by a rather portly bloke, who seemed to have go through a mini work out just get behind the steering wheel, he opened the wing door and kind of twisted slid / fell into the bucket seat, very funny to watch.
However he knew what to do once it got going. It was great to see a car like that being driven well.

My business partner's neighbour had one parked on the street (half on the kerb, as you do!) in North London. :shock:

Well the Paragon looks much better than 'Mizens Farm' that used to be there, and the big roundabout at their entrance is just right for driving round fast. Also Mclaren are just the sort of business that any local town should encourage to stay in the area imo.

I used to work on the same industrial estate as the old factory in Woking and you used to see F1s driving past whilst buying a sandwich from the garage!

Could not agree more, fab building.. I wish that I could get in to have a look around. Perhaps when the vistor centre is up and running they will give tours.
