I'm bound to get a load of jealousy, filthy looks and wank*r signs when driving it but I'm quite thick skinned and can take it. plus if they want to get out and talk face to face, i'm game

Your right there are a lot of Jealous Bastards out there, just be careful were you park it.
Great piece of kit by the way. enjoy.

We had the Bentley Convertible, parked it down in Gillingham for just an hour got it keyed

, luckily it was a small scratch but could have been a larger one.

I keep nipping in the garage and having another look... I can't wait to get up tomorrow and just drive aimlessly nowhere just anywhere...

Don't hate me for long mate. You're welcome to have a go when we meet up next if I can have a go in your tuned M3

I deal with Tesco (So I'll say no more!) 200k+ car deserves V power surely!

But I've not got a huge amount of McLaren experience.
