After taking delivery on March 1st my car was returned early April to Mclaren for some minor adjustments like engine rebuild, gearbox replacement, complete respray and other minor defects. It has been away for 5 weeks at my request due to inability to drive following minor hand surgery.
No, I'm jesting about the defects, just door rehanging, indicator stork replacement and heater software upgrade.
What I can't jest about is the cars impact on it's return, like I have a new car. The engine delivers in spades with instant explosive acceleration, so smooth and predictable that I am now getting comfortable with those tight overtakes.
But, the car's absence has dulled the brain as I had forgot to hit the Active button......what an engine and chassis......
Seriously it's taken 3000 miles to become just a little familiar and comfortable with exploiting the cars performance. Still keep hitting the start button instead of the active button.....and it calmly says the speed is too high to activate the stop engine button.....love Ron's attention to detail.
