Default over the top

she was not giving anyone a chance to talk, but she is just happy for him!! I would hope my wife would be excited when I bought a million dollar car. Better than her *****in about the ride.

yeah, she was a bit too happy, but so what? I have a feeling that most ppl posting in this treads are little kids. Just wait for you to grow up and see if your wife lets you spend your money on McLaren F1 car...

Sweet vid. I think I would start crying when that day comes, to walk into a room with that machine sitting there waiting for me. Hard work does pay off, or atleast smart work His wife/girlfriend really killed it, moment of silence is what was needed there. Let the man enjoy his new girlfriend

Well, after reviewing the vids on the side. The guy can't drive for *****, I feel bad for that F-1.

when was this video made? the NAV seems like something after 2000, but McLaren production ended back in 1998. Was this McLaren F1 pre-owned and then added all those equipments?

got these info from another board...

This car was originally silver and was sold to someone in Germany. Dan Kennedy of Scottsdale, AZ purchased this car in late 2001 and had McLaren give it a thorough refit at the factory in England, changing almost everything on the car to suit his personal taste and satisfy all of his electronic gadget desires. Dan was the owner with the matching Hummer H2.
Here's is the list of upgrades on #038 that Dan Kennedy outlined when he was selling the car:
One of a Kind Orange Kandy Paint
Black & Orange Interior
Removable F1 Steering Wheel
Carbon Fiber Kick Plates & Doorpulls
Custom Matched Luggage
Color Matched Engine
Matching Orange Tool Chest
Integrated Communications System
- CDMA & GSM Phone
- 3 way Intercom with Headsets
- 2 way Radio
- Noise Canceling Headsets
World Wide Navigation System
Wide Screen Video Monitor
100GB MP3 System (20K+ songs)
Front & Rear Radar Detector
Oversized Radiator & Fans
Upgraded A/C
Wide view racing mirrors
Xenon Lights

Finally, here are some other scans from Road & Track magazine of an article featuring chassis #038.

LOL - it is funny that there is more talk about the chic yapping than there was about the car in this thread. I have to agree - she needed to pipe down a little!

Although she may have money and even more than him that is Dan Kennedy and has PLENTY of his own, at least on paper.

I do agree she came across annoying as she narrated the tape but she was excited about the car. How many wives would be so excited and take the time to video the whole thing, not just 2 minutes then give up and sit in the corner, or not bother to fly over to begin with or just have hung out in London and shopped. OK so she isn't a consumate car person wanting to know the bore and stroke ratio of the BMW engine but she is there and she genuinely seems happy about the car within her albeit minamal understanding of the event that is going on. She could have been screaming "you spent how much on a USED car with 3 seats and a steering wheel that falls off!!!".

Um, this may display my ignorance, but who is Dan Kennedy?
