Henry Catchpole takes the McLaren MP4-12C on an Epic road trip through France.

At last a journo who gets the car and praise be to Andy C, realises just how much confidence inspiring it is.

A cracking video, with great cinematography.

andy, I reckon this bloke just put you and I both out of business around here.

What I love most about this video, really, is that it is the first to capture what the car actually sounds like. Beautiful editing and production.

(Henry officially goes on my "non-Numpty" list)

One of the best car reviews I have ever seen. The cinematography, the music, the clarity, just stunning, it screams quality.

One of the things we were very critical of on the pre-production Mclarens were the carbon brakes that they both came with.

This has got steel brakes and I have to say they are a lot better. Just occasionally they still throw up the odd inconsistency. Slightly too sharp when you first get on the peddle, but basically they're an awful lot better. And you certainly want good brakes up here.

Hope that helps!

Steve.

They only scratch if you do wash them anyway. Is this a northern thing cos it rains so much up there Andy, Down South where the sun shines you have to use a bucket and sponge.
Sounded great in the opening scenes must have had sports exhaust
