I took possession of my 650S spider this afternoon and promptly loaded it on the Paint Shield trailer for them and Paddy to do their work!
Very pleased with the colour, it absolutely lights up in the sun

MY16 build on a 65 plate (though I've got a personal one to go on)
We've nicknamed him Bruce

Nicely done Mikey, looks a beaut Hopefully I'll get to have a closer look at some point in the future.. Like maybe a run round Wales or some such notion

Do McLaren do a range of iffy headgear to your taste? Maybe something to match the man fanny pouch?

Hope you didn't run your hands down it to see how smooth it was.... lol.

I think geoff is right, you need his and hers baseball caps, the jacket and of course, the Jensen Button t-shirts.

Of the 4 dealers I spoke to when buying they were the best and have kept up the standard as well.More than happy to keep the servicing with them.

Must admit I'm thinking about rejecting it as its not Ferrari red

Congratulations Mikey, Car looks and will be superb in all respects. Particuarly like the colour and your wheel choice. Hope you and Kay have a great time in Scotland. The idea of a Wales run really appeals. We should have our car sometime in November. Are you thinking Spring 2016?
