    Default As promised- more pics of the McLaren F1 and Bertone Mantide I saw on vacation

    Not much to say about these..it was quite a sight to seem them getting down and dirty on a cross country trip and some hole in the wall gas station.

    ..hey, at least I had a camera and not a bunch of shitty cellphone cam pics
















    Dont mind the color too much... I forgot to reset the white balance and did a bit a correction to get most of the car's color back .

    I Love the Mantide. Its so... Different. very flashy, which is what i'd want if i bought a super car like that.

    Whats the power plant in those?

    EDIT: Corvette guts, correct?

    It's not Denver. We were well over 200 miles from there. They were driving cross country to Pebble Beach.

    Per wikipedia, there were 73 road-going F1s produced. I'm sure that fewer than half of them are in the US.

    Man, the Mclaren's are so nice, so fast, and so perfect....till you look at those jank ass wheels. The Bertone...not too big a fan of that. Can't stand wheel wells that aren't round. Other than that, it looks like a B-movie futuristic car.

    It isn't automatic. 6 speed gearbox with very short throws.

    How funny.... we had just left Gateway (the same exact spot they are sitting in) about 30 minutes before they probably got there. We were contemplating chasing...errr..following them down there because the road to get there is wide open, curvy and no cops in sight. I'm sure they had fun getting over there
