Dare I say I don’t like it....

Nor do I, not that in that spec. I like them very much, would love a spider, but would look even more a total cock than usual and would need to keep it forever because the used market for Maccas seems to be in freefall even more so than for any other car.

I hope your man maths calculator has some of the deluxe features. For McLaren input it will require:-

  1. Build quality ignore function
  2. Dealer network ignore
  3. Depreciation ignore
  4. Which model is it, they all look the same function
  5. Extended warranty additional cost ignore function
  6. Does't sound very good, hearing enhancement function
  7. Ignore cost for exhaust to make it sound a little better function
  8. Can't pop to the shops without looking a **** function
  9. Wife already knows you have a small man weapon, now so does everyone else function
  10. Really, a 911 is better in every way function. GTS, GT3, Targa, whatever.
If the device does indeed have these 10 special functions, only available in deluxe versions, then it may well spit out an "accept purchase" message.

I'd still ignore it. But then, it's no secret how bad I think McLaren's build quality is. And I owned a BiTurbo. And a 3200.

Along with
The man maths calculator deluxe Scotland edition - also known as Wee Nicola's Budget Balancing Thingamybob - doesn't have a convertible function as this seen as being the provisio of Tory, private school types and their WAGs. ie it's southern softy shite that we Scots can't be doing with. It does have the rare "roofless" function for dealing with the likes of the Ariel Atom which is an officially approved all weather car in Scotland.
Just brilliant :lol2:

Holy mackerel, the first £130k 720S. OK, it's not much of a spec and it's a private seller, plus many owners in its short life and it's an early model but....

Saw that a few weeks ago Adam as it caught my eye as I live the colour combination. For me the silvers and greys suit the 720 more than the brighter colours. Also love the interior colour....The owner could have taken better pictures though. Not a great advert....I bet there's an offer there as well so will be e en cheaper. Is there another car for 120k to 130k that you could go faster in. Think I said before there is a chap in Chepstow who has one along with a Bugatti EB110, Zonda and a string of Ferraris and he says the 720 is the car he wants to drive more than the others.

I like it. Think it looks a bit odd parked on the driveway like that- it ought to be in its own temp controlled, air purified car boudoir.

I have to say that this
got the old fella twitching.
Change for a decent other veeeeehicle too, if one felt inclined compared to the Macca.

This is just stunning Wattie.....One of the best rear ends on a car......I would have to have one of these in my dream garage....and the noise from that AMG engine.....Stunning....

such a muscleir car and a great design......I particularly like the grey car....Good in black to.

Yeah, I bet it’s a dream to drive. It’s more the reality of ownership that would deter me.

There’s one in Worcester and they’re really un-noticeable they just blend into all the Mondeos and Vectras. It’s weird you can hear it driving down the road but it takes a long time to work out which car the noise is coming from.

Are you looking at the right car..No way would you think a AMG GT looked anything like a Mondeo or Vectra. They are low and very wide.......One came up behind me on the motorway and it has that front end that makes you get out of the way..........Suppose we all see something different in cars though.

I’m usually a pedestrian, somehow from the side they just aren’t that noticeable especially in an ordinary colour.

Balls, this is going to get expensive. Just need to add to my advanced man maths calc:

*appendix 7, subsection 4:
Ignore Scottish advice.

The 'Scottish advice ignore' function is a cheap add-on, but it can cause bugs later. Like a curry, you keep being reminded about it for days afterward, but it has a far longer half-life. I'm told that for years you keep getting a voice in your head saying "ah fvcking telt ya so, ya daft wee radge ****, but ye didnae listen.'

Just be careful as to what people say on here or you will be like me when buying the 360 Modena 5 days after getting home from Le Mans with you lot in 2013.
No regrets though ;)
