Owner of a McLaren?

[fullbloodchop01]

just wondering if anyone here is a owner of a actual McLaren?

If you're referring to the F1 road car introduced in 1992, I can assure you that there are no real owners who participate here. There have been a few bogus claims of ownership made in the past that were later proven wrong or refuted.

There are at least two people who post in the F1 forum who are either a friend of or business associate of real US McLaren F1 owners. They keep somewhat of a low profile, but they are accurate in the claims made about their relationships with the owners. It's not like some young kid saying "My dad's friend has an F1 and he takes me for rides all the time".

If you have more questions specific to the F1, you should post them in the F1 forum. If you were asking about other McLarens, like the older Can-Am cars or Formula One cars, I don't believe there are any owners of those cars hanging around here.

Or at least that is what they claim....

Ever notice how they've never provided photos of the car? There's more to the story, but it's not for me to tell.

Just thought I'd bring this back to the top in case anyone looks in here but might have missed the thread in the F1 Forum.

There is now a real McLaren F1 owner participating here:

As you can see, he's open to questions. Just be nice about it, and be patient as I'm not sure he'll be as active as most users here.

No, seriously, there was: very sadly, he has now passed away, following what i believe to be a brief illness. I think his name was Jon Dokic.

I'm familiar with the threads 'Jon Dokic' posted on PistonHeads, along with those of his wife and son. Those were the ones I was referring to.
