The car should also be here for the Vancouver Auto Show in April too.

The route is across the Burrard bridge to downtown, around Pacific St., around Rogers Arena, and across the Granville street bridge to MCL Porsche and back at 1623 W. 2nd.

Car is kept at the back, so best to wait at the back lane for a look. No cars inside to show.

My take on the McLaren vs 458 vs GT3 (which was moved to the 'other marques' forum):

Hey Ed - I am doing great! Hope you too but as far I can see with that new GT3 you must be all smiles!
We need to catch up - want to check out that monster you got there.

hell of a nice car though!
I wish this car had a more unique physical appearance. It looks almost ambiguous compared with the competition to the layperson.

Sure, it has been laying low for about a week though.

The car looks significantly better in person than pictures or video. Www.philadelphia.mclaren.com They have 3 in house an orange one, a white one, and a grey one. I believe two of the three are sold.

In real life I think the McLaren is stunning. Their big mistake is not making the car photogenic enough for the pictures.
