One for the car nerds
McLaren's press release for the F1. I can't get my head around this car being 25 years old.

Well, it's a shrewd move. They won't have to pay any road tax.

and created a new record for an insurance claim the total cost of the repairs came to around £980000 but the car was worth 1.1 million so was repaired

I was once driven round the grounds of Hampton Court Palace in one
by a dealer who was keen to impress and floored it. Looked to my untutored eye as if he was seriously wrestling with it and could have piled in at any time.

Great piece of car history but the interior does look extremely dated.

So I was chugging along in my Isuzu Trooper
on a back road in rural Aberdeenshire. A nice straight road, but very uphill, so I was struggling to do a decent speed. In my rear view mirror I could see around half a mile behind me; nothing there, so I wasn't holding anything up.
I sensed movement in the mirror, but before my eyes could flick over, this thing (a MacLaren, obvs) zwaffed past me going astonishingly fast.
I think it took 3 seconds, maybe less, to cover that half-mile straight, so it must have been doing at least 120mph. Uphill.
