today is a sad day for me as I have put the 12c up for sale and have probably driven this one for the last time...

We have had an extraordinary time together, 10000 miles, a few tyres, a few brake pads, incredible speed, almost faultless reliability and just endless grins from ear to ear...I still struggle to believe that the car that rips round a track performing as a race car is the same one that you drive home in almost limo comfort....

the car that I am selling is a much better one than the one I bought, but the one I bought was incredible...

I have made friends, both virtually and in reality, which has also been an extraordinary bonus..

regrets... not having a go pro to share the lap chasing down a 458, a car I have owned and loved in the past, at the nordschleife,. something I will cherish for ever... the 12c is faster, by a margin... (and we know what happens when its put in the hands of someone who actually knows what they're doing.!)

looking forward to april and the new car, perhaps even before then...

seems we're on the point of some great news about the new car, so good times ahead for all

Mikey, are you looking for a 12S, a 918? What's next? Enquiring minds want to know!

 

[Mikeyb]

same manufacturer, lots more downforce, lots more bhp.....

 

[andy c]

I'm looking forward to seeing your new colour,and you will have to have a picture of it with the first baby seat on the Planet,that has to be for posterity matey

 

[Mikeyb]

Fair to say the Mclaren and maclaren have similar colour specs...

Sad day mate, better days to come though hopefully. You didn't really want a rhd car anyway...

Will be sorry to see the car go Mike.. glad I got to see her in use for the last time! Looking forward to the new one though...

Indeed a sad day Mikey as we don't share the same type of car anymore but very much looking forward to lap Spa with you next year. Well at least for 1/3 of the Kemel straight then you will be out of sight in your new toy

It is a bit of a happy sad situation. I will have to make the same call in the next year. Not sure yet if the 12C Spider will stay or go. Garage space these days is tight.

 

[Mikeyb]

I am almost certain we will have another 12c in the not too distant future.

 

[McDc]

I am almost certain we will have another 12C "S" in the not too distant future.

I have corrected that for you
