They say that " The seven-speed, twinclutch gearbox works like a proper F1 shifter. Hinged around the wheel, you can pull with your right hand or push with the left to change up. "
Is it possible thar McLaren, like Porsche, created redundant paddles? That is, pulling either paddle upshifts and pushing either paddle downshifts.

And with that price I think you get a lot of car. If I was in the market for a go to Monaco supercar I might, just might.. Black / black silver wheels?
Oh...Bollocks... just remembered it's made in England. : )

That air-brake is going to get a lot of use if it pops up at every corner.
So what was said a few months ago? Wasn't it that owners would be forbidden to take this thing to the track for fear of losing all warranty coverage?

That was a baseless rumor from a hater. Completely unsubstantiated and also ludicrous considering the majority of the marketing for this car has been done by McLaren on tracks. They even offer an option for telemetry and data/video acquisition with track maps that can be downloaded into the car.

Not quite - the paddle assembly has a pivot at the center, so when you pull on one side the other side goes down. If you read closely, it you push the LEFT, it will change up - because it is the same as pulling the right side. If you push the RIGHT, it will change down, like pulling the left side.
Upshift - Pull Right paddle OR Push Left paddle
Downshift - Push right paddle OR Pull Left paddle
It has a redundant system, not dissimilar from PAG's (directions reversed left/right).

I have it from the horse's mouth (speaking with someone at Pebble last year described themselves as being in charge of USA sales) that McLaren will not cover cars that have been on the track. Of course, I would expect them to cover a rear view mirror motor or the hinge on those Lambo doors, but will they cover a crack in that plastic tub or an oil leak or trouble in that gearbox?

Do you deny being a hater? Every post of yours re: cars that are not 3RS have been exclusively negative. If there was something/anything positive to report on would you even have the intellectual honesty to do so?
Rather than some nameless "head of sales" I will ask Phillip Jones the manager of mclaren greenwich tomorrow and report back.
