Default Mclaren F1 LM#3 in U.S( link)

I was reading something about the F! and found the link from Turnermotorsports. The car is the F1 LM#3 out of 5 ever bluid by Mclaren.

in 1995 Mclaren GTR won 1st, 3rd,4th,5th and 13th at the 24hrs Leman race. So, they bluid only 5 road cars to honor this race( actaully 6,but only made 5 of them to private owner). All 5 LM's come in Papaya orange to honor Bruce Maclaren.

What a sweet car? I wish to see this beauty in person.

Damn, imagine having 3 F1's, makes it kind of hard to choose which one to take out, LOL.
The LM is one of the most special ones though.

I would hate to think about that guys insurance premium

He said the F1#068 is in England and never register with less than 100 miles on it. He only drive the #007 and LM. And his another cars are the 2000 M5, Mini Cooper S and a E30 M3 race car.

Richie you're right, a few months ago you said ' Only one LM in U.S"

I think this is very smart of him to buy cars that the price will only goes up( I know they are priceless), but imagine if he wants to sell the LM at the Christie's auction.

I love his awnser about how the people react when they see his car.

Do other motorists make daily driving difficult? I mean, if I saw a Mclaren on the road, I'm sure their would be a large part of me that would want to follow it, and seeing as the car isn't exactly inconspicuous I think other motorists may feel the same way. I suppose what I'm really asking is, do people get so drawn to the car on the road that it causes traffic problems/accidents?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are three groups of drivers on the road: 1) those that don't know what it is and don't care; 2) those that think it's a ferrari or lamborghini or other exotic; 3) those that recognize it for what it is. Group 1 don't create any problems. Group 2 are a nuisance and disrespectful. Group 3 are generally a pleasure to deal with. They are polite, considerate and genuinely appreciate the opportunity to see a "real" one.

Regularly, when driving around town, someone going the other way sees me go by, puts on the brakes and makes a U-turn. They follow me all the way to my destination and then politely apologize for their intrusion and request the opportunity to look at the car more closely. I love talking to people who feel this passionate, often giving them a ride if i can spare the time.

When driving around, I'm not aware of any traffic problems or accidents that I've caused.
