McLaren F1 spotted in Melbourne!

[chief]

There is an orange Lamborghini Gallardo that hangs out at Star City Casino. If that car does not get you laid, what will? It is such a sweet car.

There is also one of the Harley Davidson - Ford F150. It is a F150 with HD Rims, HD logos in the headrests, badged as a Ford and HD. Painted two tone Black and Silver.

I was in the far left lane doing 130km/h ... this "thing" passes me ... I realise it was a McLaren F1 road car ... it passed me as if I was standing still.

Now I have been in a friends R32 GT-R at 322km/h ... and that's moving ... I'd have to guess the guy driving the F1 that day was going quicker than that ... he caught the yellow GT-R and the Ferrari and passed them.

Crazy ... NSW Numberplates "MCLARN".

Took me a while to lift my jaw out of my lap.

What colour was the F1 you spotted?

[Mechan1k]

Was a gunmetal (not that dark though) ... mid-silver colour I guess.

those 962s are nuts! i want one of them!

throw back to the good days of lemans when they were running high horsepower/high downforce cars... just look at the frontal area! you'd easily feel the thing drop heaps from downforce at speed!

even when holden were gonna bring out their HRT427 they had to produce 50 of them for them to be deemed as production cars so they could compete in production car races.
