Awesome pics

Whos was the shooter ?

what on earth is that?

You serious? You dont know of the Mclaren F1.... until veyron the fastest production car ever made ???

tisk tisk :(

I have always LOVED this machine of a car and still do

Fkn oath thats the one, I have seen that same F1 crusing and exiting on chandler hwy on the eastern fwy@!!! Had no number plates either, wonder who owns it

This one had a number plate, only on the back, it was like mclrf1 or sumthin like that, cant member wat state the plates were even, hahah, i was wayy too focused on the car...yummm, gold plated engine components!!

Edited by r32line

Either the plate is MCLF1 or BIGMAC.

It's usually at the GP each year. It lives in a block of apartments just behind the Hilton.

+1 for Baron25 to be banned for the most stupid question ever.

The plate is MCLF1 - think is the only one here. Soooo cool.

It's probably not registered to drive on the streets but like in the dude in Syd with the F40 just pays the fine every time he gets caught driving an unregistered veichle.

If you can afford those cars you can afford the fines. :)

MCLF1 was the plate of the one I saw in St Kilda some months back. Very nice car indeed and I still have the article from the UK when Rowan Atkinson wrote his one off all those years ago (in one of many boxes I hope!). :P

Cool pics Joel too! My mate has that Fiesta, I couldnt believe they renamed it to the Festiva until I clicked it and saw the plate actually said Fiesta, just your dodgy renaming! ;)

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
