No worries, had the tech knowledge to do it so might as well right =)

I could use some help out there from the gang on reverse looking up other countries vins. They list LC plate and then you have to reverse look up to get the vin. Friend from Australia showed me how they do it there and it is taking time to do it.

Yeah....I learned after I got the car that the lightweight 1s are also known as penis wheels. So I guess every time I drive it will be a 21 gun salute! LOL

SSIIICK, AND IT LOOKS AWESOME RIDING ON THOSE PENIS WHEELS!!!! But I will me careful and stay in my lane! LOL. Actually I reached out to the original owner just two days ago and he is a really nice guy for sure. He was kind enough to share all kinds of details regarding my car, he even sent a video of it on the dyno! Now I need to see if he still has those penis wheels sitting around... maybe I can talk him into letting them go for a few dollars and then my car could proudly once again drive around with a "21 gun salute". WAIT A MINUTE.... I just did the math! 5 P's per wheel x 4 wheels = 20 P's (there has to be at least one more P "somewhere" in the car to have a 21 gun salute... Doh!

Ima, in your case it could be the driver.....in one of the speakers. Anyhow, when I first heard the discussion about "21 P's" I thought they were talking about Chuck Norris. His 12C is McLaren Orange with swipe doors WITHOUT softclose, because nothing is soft about Chuck. I've attached a picture of it entering the "ChuckCave".

SW-12C, I love the aerial picture of your personal 12C taken from a commercial airliner as you are flying over Chuck Norris's "ChuckCave"! Some might call that Art, but I think you need to put your hands back on the flight controls and quit flying so low!

Give me a call and let's get our wife's out and take the cars up to the mountains next weekend for some fun away from the hustle and bustle of the city!

Thank you for all your efforts in tracking the production numbers of the 12C. A couple months ago I purchased one of the 6 Project Alpha 12Cs, #6 of the 6 made. As you may know, there are two White cars, two Orange cars, and two Graphite Grey cars. Mine is the second of the two Graphite Grey cars. I believe cars 1 and 2 were the White ones and 3 and 4 are the Orange ones. I know 5 and 6 are Graphite Grey.

I believe you have my car listed, last 4 digits of VIN = 1757. As you may know, all Project Alphas have Black interiors. Would you mind updating the listing of my car to add that it is a Project Alpha car, #6 of 6?

I'd like to see if any of the other 5 Project Alpha cars have been "registered." Do you know of any of the others?

Thank you again!
