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!):
