    Seriously? I have only one simple comment: Smiley  Smiley Smiley Smiley

    Oh well, I wouldn`t be me if I wouldn`t actually say more, right? Smiley
    Here it is: I`m not a big McLaren fan, never was but I always thought that McLaren has turned the sportscars market upside down, putting huge pressure on Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari and others. They just know how to build cars, especially light(er) weight cars, even if I`m not a fan of their Biturbo engines and RWD (though fantastic traction control setups, best on the market).

    That said, the Senna isn`t exactly a beauty but a spectacular product. I would love to have one and there aren*t many cars I would really like to own (Carrera CGT, 918, F40 and the new 765LT would be among them, maybe even the Aventador SV or SVJ but I just hate their gearbox) but the Senna is really something, I would even compare it to the F1 in a way or another, can`t help it. 

    Congrats again for having such a wonderful collection, enjoy the cars in good health and keep us updated, we love your posts and your website. Smiley Thank you again for sharing your experience. Smiley

    Many thanks for sharing. Just makes me reflect on how little time we have, but how some have managed to squeeze as much out of it as possible. McLaren must be jubilant that a Senna is actually being used!

    Thanks for the write up. You really have not experienced the Senna yet - you have got to get it on a track to experience its true qualities.
