McLaren MP4-12C
Parked up in Padstow today. First one I've seen, looks better in the metal than pictures especially in white. I'd still have a 458 though.

Re: McLaren MP4-12C
Yeah, I think one criticism when they came out was that they didn't sound good enough but I think McLaren have resolved that since. I couldn't wait for the owner of this one to return to have a listen, but it'd have to go some to beat a 458 soundwise. Every time I hear one of those I just grin stupidly. Last week a guy gunned one away from the lights in Poole in the opposite direction to us and you could hear it for bloody ages.John Johnson wrote:We have one park outside work a lot , sometimes overnight too ...sounds lush
Not a decision I'm ever likely to have to make sadly though

Re: McLaren MP4-12C
Saw a 458 on the M40 today, WOW!
It was white but with a hint of grey and driven by a female, looked like Tara Palmer Tomkinson.
70mph on the button.
Saw a Black 63 reg 4C outside dealer in South Bham later that day, good but no cigar, saw an Evora today and it looked way too similar- not identical granted but lacking the drama of the Fezza

Re: McLaren MP4-12C
I feel the evora's shape was compromised by the packaging requirement of the rear bench seat... It's the worlds only mid engined 2+2 for reason. Shame actually as it's an absolute joy to drive and runs circles round some more complicated exotics

Re: McLaren MP4-12C
Every 458 I've seen has been utterly stunning. Strangely, I've yet to see a red one though
Perhaps the nicest one I saw was also parked up in Padstow - an ice white colour with black carbon roof.
