Default McLaren in Cambridge,MA

Today at noon, just leaving MicroCenter, a guy arrives in his McLaren F1 and stops right in front of the main door like he owns the place (he probably does or could own it!) . He didn't even care to lock it. I ran for my camera and took the pictures below. High-res can be seen by clicking on the low-res. IMHO, ordering the best supercar ever in black with a maroon dash and beige leather seats is a bit of a waste, but above 300km/h who cares...

Hi-Res are available on the links below the pictures.

that's the kind of car that if you see you hit the brakes if driving by and pull a u-turn in the middle of the road. I have never seen one on the streets like that before.

It seems Frank runs a Turner motorsports BMW 325i in the SCCA speed car touring series. Must be slower than the LM he drove in 1997. I'm still wondering why would one drive an F1 to a MicroCenter. Expensive way to buy floppy disks...

Just found this story on the car and the owner.

Nice reading. It seems there are only 10 F1s in the US, which means I'm a very lucky bastard to see one in the flesh, though not as much as Frank Selldorff himself! :shock:
