I yearn for the days when gentlemen purchased their vehicles in Guineas. Still it is eco-friendly-ish. Not all european motoring is crap, look what BMW have done with the mini, that BMC never managed.

BMW do some of the best cars and motorbikes, for sure!

There was a tv show on about how they created that car a few months ago. Discovery channel I think.

McLaren F1

The McLaren F1 was engineered and produced by McLaren Automotive, a subsidiary of the British McLaren Group that, among others, owns the McLaren Mercedes Formula One team. The car features a 6.1-litre 60° BMW S70 V12 engine and it was conceived as an exercise in creating what its designers hoped would be considered the ultimate road car. Only 100 cars were manufactured, 64 of those were street versions, 5 were LMs, 3 were GTs and the rest were GTR racing models. Production began in 1993 and ended in 1998.

The McLaren F1 was the fastest production car ever built (having achieved a top speed of 240.14 mph, 386.5 km/h) until surpassed in 2005 by the Koenigsegg CCR, and then the Bugatti Veyron a few months later

If you can afford that car, you don't worry about mileage.
