his vehicle collections seems to fall into different categories
1. Church of Light (Wt.) 2. Near Peer supercars 3. Driving Experience Over All cars obviously some overlap... |

I think that car is so much more special and desirable than the F1.

0 to 200 mph in 20 seconds in a "production" road car.

I'd buy a Tesla Plaid over this, so much faster too

Steve, that's funny right there.
I'll probably never even lay eyes on a T50. I believe the production run is sold out. Every now and then I fantasize about a low cost version with a 200 hp turbo 4.. Best Les

I've still never seen a McLaren F1 in person so I'll likely never see one of these either. That doesn't stop me from searching for new videos about it almost every day.
Heck, I was amazed when I saw a McLaren SLR a couple years ago and I don't even like them!

Anyone got any idea why so many of the parts have a nut zip tied to them?

Looks like everything is temporarily assembled with regular nuts for the show, and the proper locking nuts are zip tied nearby.

That video made me feel very old, I worked for Frank on an Alfa Romeo Indy race car over 30yrs ago when I was a student on my work placement
