McLaren launch
I got an invite to the launch of the McLaren and took Lord Sterling along for the ride. We had a great evening and a lot of locals had formed a huge crowd outside to spot the celebs (not me) who were turning up in their Audi R8s, Ferraris, Rolls Royces and Renault Avantime (me).
Lots of beautiful women and food. And Sennas last McLaren F1 car, too. Some people off the tele and a few footballers wives. A special bonus was a simultaneous showroom launch of the new Rolls Royce dealership as well. We managed a guided tour of the RR models (more gorgeous girls, too) and I remarked to one bloke there he must surely be a model or actor...he was the RR UK CEO! ooops. He took it well and spent 20 miinutes talking Rollers to me. Fab.
A very well organised and memorable evening. And yes - I CAN fit in the new McLaren.
Here are some pictures wot I took
The McLaren is really long legged:
...with a great chassis
There's an engine in here somewhere
Another old bag
It's fits, Prince Charming. We shall be married
Phantom, 100EX and Ghost
Some locals, dribbling on the glass and wondering who the heck I was.

Nice car. Look slike a good time.
2 things to ask:
How do you get invited? is it from your financial advisor stuff?
Why did they lose a seat in the F1? I have see 3 on the road, and 2 had a honey EACH side of the driver.

No. They have huge wheels, car specific rubber 305/30 x20 rears Pirelli P Zero Corsa and compliant triple setting suspension. It's a hugely comfortable car. Compared to the Ferrari California or Lamborghini Gallardo/Muci/Diablo, it's a really happy car to drive on English roads.John W wrote:Ooh! I bet those have big wheels, rubber band tyres and hard suspension. Clear lenses too? Shocking.....

I thought you were going in the 820E to bring a bit of prestige to the event?

This Friday, I have an invite to McLaren again. They are launching a revised, customer oriented MP14 - 12C which customers can fine tune to their taste - wheels, sound, colours etc - so that the cars are more bespoke.
I can't go due to illness so another Forum member now has the invite and will take some pics, I hope.

Re: McLaren launch
McLaren Automotive are making a big announcement on Thursday 27th September at a Press conference at the Paris Motor Show. The new production car is both wacky and sensational.
