I'm sure, Adam had a run in Nick Mason's McLaren F1 GTR! the number-plate ( K40 MCL) is the same, I've seen it in Evo Magazine, is the same car they tested against the Edonis, you can see it in evo uk wbsite 8www.evo.co.uk road test section)!

in the same day he had a run in the McLaren F1 (the only roadgoing GTR I think) and meet Nick Mason, Pink Floyd drummer!!

Lucky guy!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Nice story!! That Adam is one lucky son of a .....!!!I sat in a McLaren F1 one on the grandprix of Hockenheim Germany. It stood at the McLaren stand next to a stripped Formula 1 car. But I never had the pleasure of hearing the engine in real life. I'm still waiting for this to happen. I hope I will catch the McLaren at the 24 hours of Lemans.
