    Only 14 and you already have a preference about which side of the river you prefer to live on. Took me at least 18 years to get proud about being from "south of the river"

    Mayfair has some pretty cool cars cruising around. Have you been to the McLaren 'showroom' on Park Lane? I haven't passed it for a few years but guess it is still there with an F1 in the window.
    Not UCP's only Crystal Palace fan!!

    I don't care whether the car is your uncle's or not...but explain how a digital camera is a waste of money.

    Because its not very often that I take pictures. but on the rare occasion that I do I don't feel the need for them to be on the computer

    They sold the Mclaren F1 a few months ago in an Auction. Im not sure if theyre gonna put an SLR in there or put an SLR in the Merc dealer a few yards down the road .. or both. They may have sold the apartment space though. Not sure .. but the F1s gone forever Im afraid. Last Mclaren F1 RC to be sold The only thing that really excites me down Park Lane now is the Aston Dealer .. and only because of the old ones they sometimes .. like V8 LMs and Zagatos. Not really excited by the current range because I see them so regularly in Sevenoaks.

    You get some ok cars where I live .. along the A21 you normally get a Porsche every 30 seconds. Which is why im not a huge fan of Porsches. Get plenty of kit cars like Cobras, Caterhams and Ultimas. Get the odd Mclaren F1 if your lucky .. quite a few Exige S2s. I can almost guarantee to see a Ferrari every 10 minutes on average. Got quite a few nice cars parked near me .. about 200 yards away is an Aston DBS, Aston DB5 and Ferrari 412 (not really a fan of his Ferrari).

    They have sold the "showroom", I don't know who bought it though.

    Whatever... his uncle does own the car, and a Macca, and an Enzo and a CGT and a Yugo...

    as far as digi cams go, they are a total waste of money... I mean, why would anyone spend $1,000 on a camera body, with no lens or anything?

    Do you have a phone camera?

    We're a bit of a cynical bunch of people here, so you've got two choices.

    Put Up
    Or
    Shut Up.

    Get us an Egg Nog Proof of Ownership, or you'll be passed off as another "Uncle" story teller.

    lol... I don't know if your uncle has the car or not - and I'm not going to speculate... If he does, good for him, and I look forward to seeing more pics as they are available - if he doesn't, shame on you for being a big liar

    Well, some rich guy does own that car, his uncle or not is another question.

    The license plate looks unique, is that something that you pay extra for? Like a customized plate in the U.S.
