It says "No Fingerprints Please"

I'm surprised they don't bring poles and ropes with them to keep people a few feet away from it.

Peleton, u know i've always thought that the road car was far better looking than the LM... but i've had second thoughts lately.

The LM must look stunning in person..

Here you go Drew - if you guy's don't have a copy already??

If you want it, you might want to tell everyone here so they don't get into a bidding war with you. If you don't want it, you might want to let the rest of us know in case someone else does.

magazine

Good idea. But I think the noise the car makes is enough to silence - or at least drown out - any wanker who promotes the idea of a "ricey" McLaren. I say "noise" because it is so much more than just a sound. If need be I can always point to the wing's endplate that says "24 Heures Du Mans Winners 1995" or to the cam covers that say the same. Or I can point to the race history of McLaren that is on the passenger luggage compartment.

On second thought that would be cool to have. Good idea.

Ahh yes - the sound - it is quite amazing, isn't it.

Good luck with the auction. I already have my copy - I bought it off the newsstand when it was new. It was one of the things that fostered my original passion for the F1.
