The MP4 12C 35B 48x7 to the power of 6?

Was that just how it's delivered then? Would have thought it'd be inside a lorry instead of shrink wrapped?

I would not be happy at all if they delivered my new car like that.

Perhaps he was just road testing for some reason.

the guy driving it had a blootooth headset and was talking permanantly and they do look like trader plates on it dont they.

i drove past the kensington high street dealership and saw a marroon one that looked totally stunning, and there is some sort of soopercar shop round the back of harrods (Berkeley square )that has one in it and 2-3 veyrons, they look pretty cool under the lights

Shrink wrap = keeps dirt/grime off the paint and prevents deeper stone chips.

most brand new cars will have wrap on them to protect the paint from chips and scratches

Where abouts on the m25? I used to visit Aston Martin in Sevenoaks which has just taken on Mclaren. Will probably be a PDI, but normally the trade plates are in the back window. Although the engines in the boot so might be screwed in plates Hmm

Go through Sevenoaks a lot, so will keep my eyes open! I like going past the Lambo garage to dribble over them, especially the new, white, Aventador they have! :dribblinguncontrollablysmilie

I see an orange macca on my daily commute every now and then, it looks like a ufo amongst all the dull every day stuff. Last time i saw it, it was passing in the opposite direction after overtaking about 6 cars at ridiculous speedThumbs up

Yeah it's same company. Lancaster Sevenoaks. Got some nice photos of the Lamborghini's in the Jaguar garage. Lamborghini are moving up to the other site supposedly but I don't think Mclaren, Bentley and Aston Martin will want the Italians on there doorstep... Smile I'll use my laptop tomorrow night and try upload some pics. Some nice motors

I was driving past the Mclaren centre in Woking and one of these pulled out onto the roundabout and took off up the road like shit off a shovel. Again, covered in shrink wrap and (what looked like) different coloured body panels.

This was about 6months ago so I just presumed they were road testing it?

I saw one on the back of an AA truck. Do the AA now do transportation? It can't have been broken down, surely.
