I put this on Facebook when it happens but just got round to uploading to YouTube. A must watch...

My s***'s custom!
On the way back from the glorious south we stopped for fuel. Pulling up at the pump I was sporting something between an enthusiastic semi and a full rager as the car at the next pump was none other than a £900,000 Maclaren P1!!!!!

Obviously my boy has been raised a full blown petrol head and nearly shat when he saw the P1 and begged to get out of the car to look.

After filling I joined the queue with a very excited 8 year old jumping up and down with excitement that he might hear it started. I noticed the fella at the front paying for the fuel on pump 8 (the P1) and told Lewis he could wait by the open door to listen to it.

Now....if you owned a hyper car worth nearly a million quid and you saw this scene what would you do? Cos' the fella who found him myself in said position said to Lewis, "wanna come and have a look?...if your daddy says it's ok you can sit in it....in fact, I'll teach you to start it..."

The following then happened (turn your volume up!):

Lewis will never forget that Mac, a similar thing happened to a young (at heart) boy in Florida a few weeks ago!

Wow what an experience for you and young Lewis and very good of the Maclaren driver too.
I nearly got chucked off a job a few years ago for revving a customers Porsche :whistle:.

Awesome! :thumbsup:

I am not a boy anymore but I almost wet myself a few weeks ago when I brought the Z to my garage and a few minutes later a LaFerrari pulled in right in front of me...my inner 8-years-old was freaking out inside!

For decency (and my wife who was begging to get myself together) I couldn't take a picture, but this below is the car:

Priceless!:thumbsup:
After 30 years, he will show that clip to his children and will say :"when I was 8, I fired up such oldtimer!"=))
Though I noticed the engine didn't started at "the first key", (or "on quarter") as we like to say...:D
Sorry,just an envious old man...:ymdevil:
