There were 3 of them today at Chelsea AutoLegends.

Styling is ageing better than I originally thought it would.

It definitely looks better in black than sliver/grey.

Once you have a few miles under your belt in the car, they feel fine, there is thousands of SL and E class Benz's running around with the same system.
I love the SLR, the build quality and engineering is second to none , all Mclaren and the compromise is all Mercedes.
Its my favorite car for what it is and i would own one in a heart beat !
The boys at AP Racing did what they could with the constraints of that system, but it could not be entirely overcome in the end. The actual brake hardware is impressive on its own regardless.
