I'm certainly a Mclaren fan, but haven't had the pleasure of owning one. I look forward to ordering one from you one day CJ.

Crazy colors in the pics. CJ always finds a way to make his cars unique.

Contact Jimmy or Lee there. It's white with red stripes I believe.

Just putting it out there since there seems to be some interest and with exchange rate it's more attractive for our American friends.
That must be my allocation. Surprising they did not sell it to me for $211000.

Didn't you promise not to whine any more?

The allocation went to a superior customer in the eyes of Porsche Cars North America / Canada. Period.

Not to worry too much, there will be other specialty cars coming down the pipeline.

I think there were less than 9 people who got an R and didn't have a 918. My friend is one of those. And to rub salt into the wound my friend is getting a Ford GT without ever owning a Ford product. Here's what I learned from all this: It's not who you know but how WELL you know them.

I was picking up a piece of Clear-bra film at a local shop this morning and they had this 675LT Spider there. I'm a huge fan of McLaren and plan to add one to the stable next... Hopefully sooner than later...

I've never seen such an awesome paint where you could see the Carbon Fiber through it. Unbelievable.

Very interesting with the CF showing through the paint. I'm wondering if it's a special optional paint application? Maybe C.J. can enlighten us.

I know this car and it's owner well.. been following its creation since it was just pictures and renders sent from MSO.

Owner really has impeccable taste in speccing his cars, the rest of the collection is just as fantastic. We looked at a bunch of different options with that stripe and MSO really went all out with this carbon spider, 1/25 in the world. It's tinted carbon with some extra pigments combining with the blue color. The whole interior is quite custom as well, as well as the engine bay with gold lining etc. owner actually hasn't seen the car yet in person. Exciting day coming up
