    Tomorrow...

    I get to see a McLaren F1. Up close and personal.

    Tomorrow is the annual Sunriver Exotic Car Show (now called the Sunriver Festival of Cars), and the spotlight car this year is a McLaren F1, and I think it's this model:



    Yeah, I'm fucking stoked. This car is in the top 5 of all cars I simply have to see in person. I'd probably give the owner a handy j just to let me sit in it.

    Maybe not a big deal to some, but this is kind of a small town. :D

    Thats awesome! I've had the opportunity to see 2 different ones in person a couple years ago.

    I think the one car I was the most stoked about seeing in person was a Bugatti EB110.

      Thats the one car I have not yet seen down here in socal. I see everything else, but all the others are status symbols for most people.

        Exactly. I've seen most of the other badass shit. The same Lambos and Ferraris every year. This should be quite the viewing experience.

        If he starts it and revs it up, I'm going to nut all over the place and pass out.

            ^ Yeah, it seems that the yuppies flock to Lamborghinis and various Mercs and Porsches, but the McLaren F1 is the one car that remains one that it for purists only.

            If ever the phrase "this thread is worthless without pics" was any more true, ha.

                  Nice, that's the Turner Motorsport one, I believe it belongs to one of their more prominent drivers. Roundel did a feature on that car a few years ago.

                    I'm jealous...Where is this? I wanna go next year. That is the one car that I wanna see over anything else. I've seen pretty much everything, but not that, rather sad actually :( I went to the Monterey Historics, but my dad wouldn't go to the Concours that had a Mclaren F1, the following 2 years there was one showing at the historics, fuck.

                    It's ridiculous how many cars I've seen, but not that one...

                        If it's the McLaren F1 LM as pictured I'd be SHOCKED. They only produced 5 LM models. There's only 2 of them out in the world excluding the 3 that the Sultan has stuffed in a warehouse. The CEO of McLaren has the 6th one which is special, but it's not a normal LM and I believe it is at the McLaren headquarters.

                          i would be floored if it was an LM, i was under the impression there was only one in the entire U.S.

                            Soon, perhaps Lewis Hamilton will be amongst one of the lucky few McF1 LM owners if he does well this year. I bet the FIA got wind of this and figured they'd put a stop to any chance of him getting that car. :D

                              Kick ass Josh. Please remember to do the following before you head out....

                              1. charge camera battery (take extras if necessary)

                              2. empty camera flash memory card

                              3. set face to stun


                              Hope the weather is favorable tomorrow and that you can snap lots of pics of this ride. McLaren F1 = XXX car pr0n.
