Re: Pictures.....

Sweet shots!
This looks like a screen "grab" from a video of XP1,

The shot of XP3 by the plane is awesome,

Isn't this #071 pulling away from headquarters? This also looks like a screen grab from a video.

Patented in the US. I'm glad McLaren was smart enough to internationally protect its design =)

Re: Pictures.....

I was trying to figure out what plane is in this picture:



I sort of recognized the plane a little bit from the front nose and cockpit. I knew I had seen it online somewhere before. Anywho, in case anyone is curious, the plane is called the "Avro Vulcan". It was a bomber used by the Royal Air Force back in the cold war days. More info can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Vulcan

Re: Pictures.....

were any of the cars tested in South Africa. the yellow AGW655T, looks like a Garage plate(testing plate) and the plate on the trailer is a regular plate from that time. Our plates were exactly like this at that time.

Not South Africa, but certainly Africa.

BMW took XP1 to Namibia for hot weather testing in the desert. Unfortunately that's where the car was accidentally destroyed at the hands of the guy wearing shorts in photo #15.
