Pimp my F1 - mclarenautomotive.com's latest question

[hurstg01]

from here - If you were a lucky Mclaren F1 owner, what upgrades would you choose to put on your F1?

I chose the HDF kit, new interior (closesly matching the one recently seen in what is believed to be #029), GTR wheels and steering rack, and maybe an MP3 player to replace the heavy CD player

I guess you been thinking/dreaming of this for a while, huh?

Only one slight criticism ...

NO!!!!!!!!!!!! Sony ICE products are widely regarded by the cognicenti as being abysmal. I'd recommend Genesis Absolute Speakers to complement your dream ride. Both hand-crafted in England. Both using leading edge technology and materials. And both at a price unattainable mere mortals!

I would have mine look just like XP4 (but without the xp4 decals)
The same blueish color with the tan interior is just awesome.
I wouldn't store it though, id drive it at least once a week, probably to car shows, wouldn't it be fun to pull up next to some tuned honda civic at a stoplight and rev up the engine? The guy would probably wet himself.
