Was out for a walk Saturday and saw one of these parked in Regents park. I had never seen one in the flesh before; WOW. It wasn't as big as I thought it would be, in fact it was rather cute. Had some great curves on it. What a car, I want one! :cool:

You can have mine. I cancelled the order and got a 2nd hand Fiat instead. There was nowhere to put the compost from the garden centre.
In fact I have stopped lusting after so called "Supercars" until I have built my own test track in the garden. The only one that makes any sense is that all-wheel-drive Ferrari hatchback. :lol: Perhaps it shows I am getting old.

i love them, and that i get to see (and hear) three or four of them a week, is a treat. They have an air of quiet intelligence about them, as well as brawn. I've even specced up my lottery win special :)

I like them too but to my GF's annoyance (slightly) I would, given the choice take the 458 everyday.
However I don't have the choice, not even nearly! :lol:

I've seen a couple at Silverstone, they are great cars, more restrained than other supercars, which probably suits me more now. If only my lotto numbers would come up!

My Cousin in USA has just bought one. He's owned 911s, a Ferrari 360 and Maseratis. I drove his Ferrari 360 which was the first Ferrari Id ever driven 2 years ago.

He just showed me on facebook the 12C he just bought, and I was STUNNED. He is very lucky to be owning and driving such exotic cars. He said he traded the Ferrari 360 in to get the Mclaren and also the Ferrari was taking up too much room in the garage and was getting expensive to maintain. (So all the reasons to step up to a Mclaren - Right ?!! - Lol)

He also said he test drove the Ferrari 458 and Aventador. The 458 was good but he prefered the Mclaren. Aventador was not in the class of 458 and Mclaren.

Hes very lucky and hopefully Ill be able to drive it when Im in USA next :yes:
