You'll all hate me....

[jaydee]

...but I don't care.
In ten minutes time I'm going out for a long run in the F1 (with the wife to keep me sane) for the first time. I may be some time

[smifffy]

I'm not going to hate you for it...

Sir, I salute you



Enjoy - If you happen to be passing by London Victoria and have a spare passenger seat..... :wave:

[jaydee]

Hmm a 300 mile round trip. Tempting, but I've got things to do later

[Thom]

Could it be possible we AT LAST get pictures of the only F1 on PH, please ??

[raceboy]

300 mile trip - Maclaren F1 - That'll be about an hour and a half then Jaydee?

Have fun - keep it shiny side up.

[jaydee]

Thom, only if someone hangs around in Buxton with a digital camera for the next few hours. Papplewick's not too far - details ?

& isn't it amazing what you find on ebay....

Yes photos are done, dad will get them hosted when he gets back. (It's been ages because a) none of us has a digi camera or scanner (for no obvious reason) b) dad's extremely cautious about identifying exactly where they live on the 'net (for a number of very obvious reasons)
Can't imagine any reason why you wouldn't want to buy a $1m used racing car on Ebay, particularly from someone whose other items include a manky looking Mondial

[Mr E]

Respect to you, your family (especially your father) and indeed the exhaust fumes the F1 emits.

I still hate you....

?????? This is the ex-Lark McLaren (chassis 19R) the last time I saw was being sold by the Symbolic Car Company, just checked their site it's still on there, no manky Mondials though just lots of lovely machinery. Which site are you looking at? Maybe they have just decided to give it a go and see if it works, they've got nothing to lose.

Take some photos in the garage then.

I like the button for estimating your monthly payments. Only 27k a month!!

[pies]

Pics can be taken anywhere

I dont hate you,cars are for driving not being stuck in a garage to be looked at

[agent006]

It's a very shallow person who would hate someone for their posessions. Why resent what someone has, rather than aspire to attain similarly yourself?

[jaydee]

Copious amounts of crap deluged dad's inbox (none from regulars I hasten to add) when first he posted on here-which led to a tendency to worry when posting anything about the outer limits of our collection.
The Mondial was on 'seller's other items' it's since been replaced by a picture of an entirely different car
ID issue-the plate and/or VIN is visible in pretty much every shot and the DVLA will give anyone name and address details based on these
BTW our (OK dad's) car is on someone called Tim Cottenham's site apparently but I can't find the site Same colour as all the others numberplate of the form AB 123 if anyone fancies a google hunt.

Just download an image editor and fuzz out all the relevent bits (even the background if you're that worried).

All i can find is reference to Tim Cottenham owning a yellow/orange F1.
