I saw where Bahrain is (finishing!) taking over McLaren's auto manufacturing too. I guess the last few years were hard on it? lol... then I stumbled on a story from last fall about 5 McLarens in a pack being busted going 100mph+ on your A303.
I have a personal McLaren story!
Last year I was driving back from a day spent running errands in one of the local cities I live between, and have such things as good medical care, book stores, and all the stuff that cities have. And, as I was working my slow way out through the rush hour traffic and remembering why I love living in the woods, my passenger was looking at the car in front of us, and then his phone a lot. Suddenly he announced that I was way WAY to close too it, and I should back off NOW.
"Why???"
"Because that is a McLaren. Yeah, so? So that car used is worth more than TWICE everything, including your house, that you own. Oh."
I backed off. And let a couple of cars in between us.
