I nearly crashed my rental a couple of days ago, I was passed by an MP4 in company with a F458, this one was black, it had a VP17 title on the lower rocker, rego RX10 JWG.

For a while I've been worried about how this car would look based on the photos I've seen, I have to say seeing it in the cold light of day shows the metallic bronze/orange color of the show car does not do it justice.

Compared to the F458 the McLaren isn't pretty but it has a aggressiveness that the Ferrari can't match. It's a small car, my rental was a Vauxhall Astra which looked large in comparison.

I'm bummed I couldn't get a photo, my camera was in the boot.

VP17 = vehicle prototype 17, I assume

Yup cell phone was in my briefcase in the boot along with my camera. I'm still kicking myself.
