Very pleased with it Dojj as it was a honest write up with good quality pics, Jamie did a great job editing and dan took some stunning photos, and best of all there was NO incidents at all in or outside the cafe other than that prototype Mclaren with the hand brake stuck on and only worth 3 million too

Issue 361 September, out in the shops now !

Good feature

Was chatting with dan who did the photos for this while we were there (he did the pics for my feature too) and he was saying the maclaren that had broken down was just a new prototype that the guy gets paid to drive around London in traffic etc to find any problems.

The car wasn't a P1 though and had an electrical fault as he pulled into the ace for the toilet and a cuppa and when he went to start it up again the electrics wouldn't release the handbrake

What a job though

Was funny watching them wait for the car park to clear Billy so they could get the flatbed truck in to drag it up onto it, the bods from mclaren were trying to cover it up to stop us all taking pictures

My mate Steve works at McLaren doing the Same thing, but when their test driver discovered this he changed and stopped talking to me
It was supposed to be out that evening doing motorway stuff to put miles on it but having an issue with the handbrake not trailering is why they spent 6 months testing
That car is for the American market hence the extra lights and stuff

But enough about shonky old McLaren, we went there to look at shonky old Ford's, and we nearly found one until he realised he'd left the fuel cut off in the OFF position which is why it wouldn't start
