Sounds like the other one you were looking at might not have been.

When I first saw your post I thought for a second you we referencing my car and was like WTF?!

But then realized it was referencing another dealer. This car has been serviced and cared for by Mclaren SF for the past two years. They know it well!

Good luck on your search! It's a big part of the fun.

For supercar that is not track-focused, you will find the 720S is quite formidable in that environment.

At tracks like Sebring, this car should be very formidable as my Cup Car buddies are already nervous when I told them I switched LOL

Brake Conversion and alignment going on next week with some harnesses.

I could never understand the rationale of buying a car without using it. It is like saving a girlfriend's virginity for the next guy to enjoy.

To be fair, owners of these typical cars have more than one car in their stable.

So it's not like they're saving their girlfriend for the next guy. It's just that they have so many girlfriends and only so much of themselves to go around ... and Viagra can only take you so far.

The for sale listing says curacao blue (obviously incorrect); the description says vega blue (which appears to be correct)

Yes Giro's but need to find out what is a good pad that fits. Definitely not going to use Ferrodo.

Took the 675LT out for a drive and it’s really a special car, you know that once you fire the thing up. Hell it made me sell my RS as I always took the 675LT keys. Traded for the Speedster which has been another fav to drive. 2021 is the first year I’ve not purchased a car in 10 years as these two are keepers for now. Have a good holiday and be safe.

Only car I would trade my 675 for is a 765. Such a special car.

great combo. Enjoy in good health.

In regards to the above, what’s the consensus on 765 vs 675? I heard some where that the 675 may be better suited for the street? I love high HP but is the 765 too much power for the application on the street at least

I’ve not driven a 765LT, but heard and read only great things about it. I’m not a fan of either being a daily, but I can say the 675LT has a very soft suspension mode or you can go full track that will shake you. The car has little insulation and shakes and rattles which I love, it’s like a go-cart sure not the power of the 765LT.
