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? ________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

I would not be happy at all if they delivered my new car like that.Perhaps he was just road testing for some reason. ________________________________________ Pugplus Peugeot parts specialists!!1000`s & 1000`s of new & used parts in stock International shipment Genuine Peugeot parts suppliers A range of Peugeot's for sale Contact info: Mob:07532066648 (richard) Email: pugplus@hotmail.com |

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 ________________________________________ puglessPhase 1 GTI 6 1996-1997 Subaru Impreza GB270 2007-2008 rare spiderman comics same day international courier |

Shrink wrap = keeps dirt/grime off the paint and prevents deeper stone chips. ________________________________________ '13 208 Gti Bianca White, '99 Bianca 306 Rallye, '92 309 Goodwood GTi 5dr, '92 Miami Blue 309 GTi 3dr. |

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  |

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________________________________________ Still watching you... |

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 speed |

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...  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.________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |
