Saw a McClaren in our local Sainsburys yesterday
Is there anything they don't sell?

Apparently Red Bull are making 50 £6,000,000 road cars. If Sainsbury's sell them, just think of the Nectar points!

Could you use it as an advertising campaign , enjoy it , and then sell it on without losing any money . If you can then go for it and take me out for a spin as I`m not that far away from you :D :thumbsup:
We do pretty well on youtube and general sales.... the plan with this car is to REALLY step up the YT channel, product reviews , ive heavily invested in new camera gear , mics etc ready for the push.... weve opened a new training academy and that's looking very promising indeed with a full first session + the vinyl side of the academy is looking like a major manufacturer wants us to do all the training for them via our setup, pretty insane stuff happening behind the scenes. my plan would be to keep the car for the long haul.

Honestly, i couldn't care one bit about the money loss.... i want experiences , and YESSSS when this happens come down and lets go for a ride. im enjoying sharing this one with you all as i search for the right car and reseller, theirs LOTS of 600LTs so i want something outstanding. My fave car so far is the redline one. But no warranty scares the shite out of me and ALOT dont have warranty on bodywork and mechanics anymore!

If it makes you happy, it's worth it :) I'm not an expert by any means in leasing but if for whatever reason circumstances change and it's not working out anymore, I'm sure you can sell it back to the dealership or whatever? You may have to put a bit more in on top to cover it, but money comes and goes, life goes on and at the very least you can say you had a Mclaren for a bit!

I'll make sure you follow your IG account off my car account too :thumbsup:
thanks man, really appreciate the follows, well im putting a fair chunk into this so its not a hand back type of gig unfortunately..... business was pretty slow early this year but weve grown massively since my health improved, ive been working hard on building an infrastructure that will allow the business too run without me if god deems it my time to have another dance with the devil. Most, once i get the right finance deal, i will go for it BUT..... i'm in a great place, not rushing and if it doesn't happen ill pause and go again for next year. with how its looking currently, its 70% likely ill have a 600LT before september.
