Default Saw a SLR Mclaren yesterday. Pic

Brother came into work and said there was one outside, popped out and grabbed a pic, no front pic cos the bloke came back to it. Very nice.

722 is a strange thing. Bit of suede, some "pimpin" wheels that dont really suit the car. Couple of other minor tweaks and an extra 23BHP and Ł20K.

Of course you could always get a regular SLR to 722bhp by getting Renntech to play with it.
