I just thought of this... I own mclarenf1.info and I dropped my plans to make a McLaren F1 website, so I'll sell it to anyone who wants it. *Not looking to profit.* I have no idea if this type of posting is against AF's rules, but since I'm not looking to make money I figure it is OK.

With a domain name like that, you almost assure yourself of a cease and desist letter from McLaren Cars.

I too, am planning/developing a website to chronical the history, features and info surrounding the F1 road car, but my URL will be something quite a bit more general in nature. I still expect some negative feedback from them, as they seem to like controlling the information about these vehicles as it is presented on the web. I think that's really a shame...

Yes it is indeed a shame. I remember hearing a bad story about Dodge along the same lines. http://www.dodgeviper.com/ I think. The page loads nothing now. Let me check web archive...

...I think it was this site. They didn't like the pics of the crashed vehicles. Appears that Dodge won the fight as the site is now offline.

...after checking out some old archives of dodgeviper.com, this is a rather funny version of it with a play on the words 'dodge' and 'viper':
