Recently returned from a 3-day tour of Wales with some members of the McLaren Owners Club UK + a couple of interloper mates (Porsche & Jaaaaag).

If you haven’t done a tour a central Wales around the Black Mountains and Snowdonia, the scenery and roads are fantastic. Well worth it.

A brief video of us crossing the Craig Goch Dam.

Hey MAC 720S...you must be getting pretty close to the 10k mark....i assume the engine just gets better with every mile?

12K now, but it is back with the dealership. As well as the niggles, I have also had some significant issues. I can't go into the detail.

Sad that owners don't feel able to go into detail about significant issues. Very sad.

What about the technical issue itself? Why? Its just technical issue that needs to be fixed and may be one we have not heard of? Can't see the problem about whether appropriate or not. People lose engines for example under warranty and are happy to discuss on other marque forums within PH.

Perhaps Mcl have him signed up to an NDA!

isn't one of the functions of the mclaren owners' club ( when they're not too busy moderating pistonheads, obvs ) to share these experiences for the benefit of all ?
perhaps the president of the mclaren owners' club ( no less ) has been gagged ?!
