A fantastic race inspired exotic car.

Just to tempting to test the car.

Would definitely need a nearby track just for peace of mind.

I saw one of these (in orange, but no racing decals) on the QEW near Grimsby last weekend.  One helluva good-looking car.

An interesting article to read.

Bruce went through Auckland university engineering which was based at Ardmore an aerodrome which is the busiest in NZ and was the location to hold the NZ Grand Prix in the 1950s. I also attended College there. As a teenager I often watched him race against the best the world could offer.

I came across this McLaren while touring NZ

I'm more jealous about touring in NZ than seeing the McLaren... :P

There's a lime green one driven by a guy who lives at the Hallmark Condo at Yonge & Sheppard.  A friend see it every day near his parking spot.  That guy also has a MB AMG G55.

Sometimes, life is not fair.  ;D
