I know that most here will be pleased its the Enzo your ditching and not the Mac!
p.s. do you think you'll track the Veyron? or is it too civilised for that sort of thing (im assuming you are getting one!)

thankyou,yes the zonda left for something else, another zonda (F) truth be told, but then i heard a little rumour something else is in the pipeline from them so perhaps best to wait & see what?...del time on the veyron is approx 9months,by which time the enzo will have been with me 3yrs,& thats "normally" as long as i keep them, & in this case the veyron (sad to say but true) simply does everything & more better than the enzo!...i carnt believe i just wrote that being a ferrari nut for so many yrs!! ...the GTR isnt going anywhere, its totally different in almost everyway to the veyron, & because of that the enzo falls almost inbetween the pair so its logical that "it" should go...isnt it !!, thanks, mr bridger. ps/ i may "track" the car occasionally just to be sure its that good, but having been in it on quick roads,i dont doubt it will not dissapoint!

Hmm think I would bin the Veyron buy a road going F1 for the continental/comfortable trips and use the change to have the suspension tweaked. Oh and still kep the GTR for the adreneline rush at the weekend.
But maybe I'm biased lol as it's been my motivation over the last 13 years.

How can Mr JM have been the sales manager at McLaren? Or was DC the director?

BTW I've seen this Veyron in the flesh. Unlike yourself though, Im not sold on look of the car. I thought it was too bulbous. BTW My sources tell me this was up for £1.2 not sure what it actually sold for, and Romans have apparently got another 2 on order! So if you dont mind paying through the nose (and something like £4-500K is definetly through the nose!!) you can have one sooner than 9 months. (No connection to seller )

As ever thanks for reading.

DC was sales director, JM i presume was also part of that group, in truth i didnt ask, but it was fairly obvious he knew everybody at Mclaren!!...which veyron is it you have seen?, the car i drove is the factory demo car (blk/dk. green) brought over from the factory, & not for sale!....& with a bit of persuassion i am hoping to cut the del. time!!, thanks, mr bridger.

This one, which was "alledgedly" UK car Number 1 // very nice pics, but i still dont think any photos i have seen do the car full justice as opposed to seeing it in the flesh, mr bridger.

the aspect ratio is off on my screen, so the cars look a bit squashed, but still the video is absolutely superb! the Mac looked devastatingly fast, esp. on the straight parts. there's other nice vids on there as well.

if anyone is having problems, you do have to register first before you can see them all.

many thanks, mr. b
