Absolutely and have dealer license.
I'm just a few zero's short still to contemplate.

Need to get Mooty in as well. He can sell bicycles and stuffed animals out the back of the dealership.

To clear the air on a few things:

Unotaz- where did you drive the 720S??

Official press drives and launches are not available until april

Dealer principals / GM have launch event in rome in may

Did you get to drive the white car at amelia?

Simple. I was in London on business a few weeks ago. I got a few friends at Mclaren.

Just like I know about the P1 battery cooling issues. The supplier for the P1 battery originally had a dedicated cooling system but couldn't get it to fit inside the P1/12C tub, so Mclaren had to design its own cooling system, which had many issues. Hopefully, the new pay out of pocket battery upgrade will fix that problem. 200K ain't cheap for a replacement battery.

Or Mycroft/Lieven is actually Jaime C's assistant and he actually has a spreadsheet filled with all the youtube video, analysis, data and etc.

P15 is a bitching car, but a little too extreme for road use. Etc etc.

With greatest respect. I have to say I disagree with this....

The CCBDS used on Macs are not in the same conversation( from a on track life prospective) as the ceramic coated ones used on VAG group vehicle's and one other that being AMG....

I think the ones on the P1 (Akebono) are much better than on any VAG car (with possible exception of Bugatti Veyron - not sure about those)...

P1s have the very similar ceramic coating to the ones used on VAG product from Aug 13 onwards. Ie can withstand very high temps and constantly changing thermal ranges. P1 CCBDs not same as the " off the shelf" ones on 570s, LTs, 650s etc.
