Default Just saw a McLaren F1 today

Was stopped at a light coming back from lunch, and I saw a McLaren F1 drive through the intersection.

Sweet looking car. Never saw one in person before.

It's a favorite of mine, too.

What color was it?

I've seen a couple, both times in Aspen. Most likely the only one with a car seat in it If the garages there could talk.....

If it was northern NJ, it was probably Ralph Lauren.

could you hear it? supposedly they sound ungodly good, especially from the driver seat because you are directly below the intake for the airbox.

Eric,

I think the F1 went only to the top of Independence Pass for some Helicopter shots of the cars in an alpine setting. Who knows.....

www.playersrun.com might have the scoop.

He lives in Bedford NY, just north of where I live, but there is a RL office by 17 and 3 in Lyndhurst that he is at sometimes.
