It is time to start an own topic for 007 after my experience. Simon is a great and friendly guy!
btw: this is probably the best chassis number in the world

Thanks a lot. The vids were absolutely superb!
It must have been quite a incredible experience for you. The dream came true, I think?

By the way; did you recorded anything outside of the car? Meaning perhaps when Simon left with his car; did you shoted that and recorded?

Just wondering, where we could get some comparing to Flemke's vids sounds, fly past you know? Or accelerations away from the camera or something like that?
The first clip was allmoust that what I'm looking for, do you have anything more?

[PatrickT82]

no those are all.

Simon didnt have much spare time unfortunately and he had to go after vid ride part 2
I only took some pics

the vid 'start' is actually where he left

OK, well no can do then. Great you got atleast these ones. Fantastic.
What you think Patrick; should this Thread also add the rest #007 videos from Youtube, even those are not yours?
That French autobahn and those two Alps clips?
There is atleast 5 clips taken onboard #007 allready.

Just thinking, should this specific car have it's own Thread starting your posts?

[PatrickT82]

of course

Surely it is a great spec - I love what the new interior has done for the car.

So atleast 5 action clips, not bad!

Agree.

Patrick:

Can you tell us a bit more the feeling when you were on board?
- Did the engine felt trought the seat in your back when it was running idle?

- What about the acceleration, what kind of feelings you felt throught the seat on your back? Or was it just a big ROAAARRR and gear change kick and then again ROAARR..?

- The Simon's brief of the car was very good, but is F1 a quiet car to be on board? Just the wheels making noise and then of course if you open the loud pedal...

- And have you had a change to be onboard anything else, like V12/BB 12 Ferrari's or V12 Lamborghini's before? If yo have; how you compare McLaren experience to these one's?
Which was different?
(I know F1 is F1 but.. )

Example old Classic Lamborghini's follows the same formula than F1, big V12, manual gearbox, and real wheel drive and so on. So it would be interesting to read your comments of the ride and comparing to other supercars.

[PatrickT82]

yes it really was quite comfortable at normal city speeds, no big sounds, but when the accelerator goes down you are really overblown by the amazing BMW V12

I have had a ride in F40 once but that is much louder on lower speeds, a lot of rattles and cracks are heard which the F1 does not have. Only the sound of gearchange and acceleration. The V12 is not blowing your ears of though. I think you can even cruise with this car from London to Monaco and you won't be tired.
