May 2017 Mclaren Owners Club Tour

[Sami Aaltonen]

Around 1200 images edited from the Tour. All 6000+ now seen and that quantity is the final quantity from the Tour. Now start to add folders these cars F1's P1's and LMs and so on. And then starts the writing work.
Those who follow Instagram, I have added there some images and stories from the Tour already. Samiaal80 is the name to search for. Hope you Like.

Anyway;
I add these here also, they are already in the video Thread. My own clips of #046 last Driving Day. Arjan was reading book, so it gaved me to change take some images and videos during the stint to Lunch.
Arjan, Thanks to Good Map Reading. It was superb share something this special with you that day.!!!!
I think Clive also enjoyed!

The Ride which I never forget, just like Simon's car. Unfortunately I didn't had so much time to take videos from that car...

Anyway, hope you like.!

Sorry I'm late here. This past month has been a little crazy in my world and IG has been the only thing I've barely kept up with.

I wouldn't put any confidence in that "103" figure myself. I'm quite certain of 5 F1s that were written off or destroyed out of the 106 total, and suspect we can safely include a 6th. We have discussed them here previously of course - XP1, XP2, 004, 010, 017 are done and gone. Lastly 033 being the suspect one that has never been positively confirmed, but also hasn't been seen since it was delivered and crashed one week later in 1995.

Is 2R owned by Paul Lanzante? I'm watching Goodwood live stream and 2R went up the hill driving by his son Dean.

It looks absolutely stunning in its Ueno livery...can't go wrong with a black '95 GTR and Ueno livery. Seeing the BMW V12 LMR, Gulf longtail GTR, and the Ueno F1 GTR all go up the hill in sequence today must have been amazing in person. The S70/2 V12 is a beast.

[Peloton25]

No, 02R belongs to a client of theirs.

I had actually asked the self same question a couple of years ago as I too had believed it to have been owned by Lanzante.

It's a really good method of not getting bored with your car if you've got spare panels ready to go with a different livery eh?

Looks great in Ueno Clinic colours but I'm glad the Gulf colours are still available if needed.

[Peloton25]

02R's current owner also has F1 road car chassis 043 - the one painted in Ueno colors. Given what a perfect pairing they make now, I don't think we will see it back in the Gulf livery anytime soon.

#043 looked so good. So Good. The Condition perfect. Low kilometer car and so on. Brilliant. It never was on the road on the Tour, the owner drove #02R all ways if he was on the road. So at least what comes to me, only images of #043 are from Monday.

I did wonder if that might be the connection to inspire the choice. Glad it's with someone who clearly cherishes the cars after all those years hiding away.

My username helps with enjoying the Ueno livery but I do love originality, albeit I know the liveries changed almost on a race to race basis in terms of sponsor stickers, placement, etc.

[Peloton25]

I think it was definitely the right choice for this car under the circumstances.

Also there is a chance we will see 04R back in the '95 Gulf livery at some point in the future. Not sure there is any hope for that to occur with 08R in the near term as the current owner chose the LM-look it currently wears.

For once I would be torn as having seen 04R in it's current livery I am not sure reverting to Gulf would be a right move especially as it ended it's racing days as it is. Saying that in view of there not being any other 95 Gulf Liveried cars now then it's probably fitting as well. It it were mine I would have a very difficult time deciding.

Here's the longest clip from the Tour.
Onboard #046. Hope you enjoy!
