Nothing will match my regrets more than me passing up an F1 for 8 million dollars a few years ago.

Are you talking about a McLaren F1?
Yes. After Futch got his I went looking too. The price has since exploded.
Have you driven one before making the decision of buying one?
Absolutely not, haha. I won't even care if my G-wagen drives better than the F1. It would have been my trophy car, that I got to own my childhood poster car.
I only ever had 3 cars on the wall, the F1, the 959 and the Countach. Thanks to Clarkson and May, they ruined my Countach dream too though.
The Countach was a terrible car. Exotic to look at but an uncomfortable beast to drive and even worse to park.
I can understand the "car poster" /child idolized syndrome though. Mine were a Lamborghini LM, Bugatti EB110 SS and a Matra 670C. I've driven a Matra around the paddock but never in anger (still got to rev that wondrous V12) and came close to buying an LM despite the fact it's a terrible truck and they all stink of gas from their leaking gas tanks. I'd still love a EB110 despite the fact I already know the upkeep would make my mortgage payments look miniscule.
