not very often im in right place when these offers are made but a very good customer of mine works in aero dept of mclaren f1

a while ago he offer me,wife and chris a once in a lifetime trip to mclaren to see the factory and all depts that build the f1 cars plus the slr too

so yesterday we spent all afternoon looking at so many things like the full build of a slr to components of a f1 car being made

its funny how we think evos are so big a part of our lives but man nothing prepared me for things we saw in that 4 hrs

james im for ever in your debt:smthumbup

Sounds like a good day Gary,

I've been for a look around Red Bull Racing and that was very impressive

Yeah, I spotted the obvious references that meant this was a blatant copy and paste too :)

Sounds like a special experience and you're in the right place at the right time for more often than you think mate

Portugal with EDC
GT racing with Mosler at Donington etc etc

Good luck to you :smash:
