He's strongly still in the car game. People just sell cars sometimes to make way for new cars and recycle the same $$$'s.

I'll be seeing him on track at hypercartrack day 2 next week.

From what I've heard the Senna and P1 were sold to make way for the Valkyrie.

Had a little fun on the golden gate bridge yesterday!

One thing i've noticed in San Francisco - When i drive the Porsche, if people see it and like it they give you some kudos. Otherwise they leave you alone. Literally every time i've taken the LT out i get at least one person telling me to stop corrupting the city of SF.

Ah, okay. I thought people were saying that he sold Fresno dealerships.

It's too bad his RL activity has died off. One of the only dealers that actively shot straight on the forum. Plus, there was the humorous content it elicited from Chicago Whale.

Hello good sir! How's the 600LT so far? Still taking it more than the 3RS?

I love the 600LT. It's an amazing car and so much fun. The exhaust location and the roof scoop really set that car apart IMO. With the Novitech system on there I can easily see flames shoot out in broad daylight when downshifting and it makes me laugh every time.

I have still been driving the 600LT more than the 3RS, but plan to drive the RS this weekend instead of the LT. I still love the RS a lot, but so far I'm honestly finding the 600LT to be more fun overall. However, I still need to drive both on track and let the "honeymoon" phase on the 600LT wear off before I say for sure one way or another. The RS sounds better (The Dundon system is EPIC!), but I'm beginning to really like the sound of the 600LT more than I originally did.

The 620R looks epic...can't wait to see what Robert thinks of it when broken in.

It’s puzzling to me how Robert doesn’t have the reliability issues everyone else seems to be having, despite hard use and through multiple McLarens, I wonder if they manufacture certain VIP customers’ cars more “carefully”.

I have to question weather “everyone else” is really having reliability issues as bad as people think. So far my 600LT has been every bit as flawless as my GT3RS. Admittedly, I haven’t owned it very long yet though. Personally, I suspect there are a lot of happy owners that just don’t post online and that issues aren’t as bad as people think.

Regarding the 620R, I love the big wing! Too bad it loses the exhaust location of the 600LT, which I’m guessing is due to the wing.

675LT cars are over engineered and bullet proof.

Some silly stuff may light up in the car, or A/C may malfunction when driven hard on track, but boy is that beast more fun to drive on track than anything I've ever owned including my current race car - 2020 Clubsport MR.

I've mentioned in the past that my car, as well as every one of my McLaren group, has exhibited better to much better than average reliability, and we all are or will be repeat buyers of the McLaren brand, so to say "everyone else" has reliability issues is simply not accurate.

I would have made the same choice (if possible)
