Holy snapping duckshit!!!

What a night!!!!!!!!!! :fearscream::fearscream::fearscream::fearscream::fearscream::fearscream::|:|:|:|:|

$3.58 million.... that is roughly how many dollars in supercars I've seen tonight in Sydney CBD.

Headed in to check out Vivid, and it wasn't just the only thing checked out:

2016 Ferrari 458 Italia - ~485k
2016 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta - $600k
2018 McLaren 720S - $650k
McLaren 540C - $339k
Aston Martin DB11 - ~$450k
Bentley GT Speed - ~$500k
Mercedes AMG GT S - $240k
Mercedes SL65 AMG - $320k

When two top of the line AMG Mercs are the cheapest "supercars" you see, you know it's going to be a good night.

Almost dropped a load when I saw the McLaren 720 and the F12. Wife is like "come on" ... I'm like ... "No... you have to wait... this is ... special".

Fuck me the 720 sounds amazing in real life (and the driver was giving it some shoe around The Rocks).

The F12 I followed from North Sydney across the bridge.
540C I was driving alongside of from Windsor Rd till St Leonards.
DB11 was parked, and the rest just driving around the CBD.

hahahaha ... nah ... seriously the 720s just sounds brutal... as if it's going to just walk up and punch you straight in the face. When it backs off theres a cross between a pop/crackle, and a bang. Amplified by the tunnel and buildings around near The Orient/Munich Brauhaus.

I heard most HyperCars including the McLarens in Vegas on the racetrack. It would of been weird if you didn't walk around with a boner lol

One of my favourite sounds ever when I was down gearing the Lambo, it's like a symphony of cannons mixed with Armageddon mixed with sjw's crying lol

PS I'm still spewing McLaren got rid of Merc and uses Honda. Massive fucking downgrade, it's like picking a civic over the E63 lol

Honda made the most successful F1 engine ever... (did help that Prost and Senna were the drivers lol)

Senna won his first Championship in a McLaren with a turbo Honda engine ;) When turbos got banned in F1, Honda's n/a v10-s were the tits. McLaren are using Renault engines now though I think

Years ago this guy I know had what started as a fairly standard Ford Falcon, but he had modded the crap out of it, in particular, he spend thousands and thousands on an awesome sound system. It went on to win awards at "show and shine" type events in the sound category. It was his pride and joy, but also a massive money pit.

He was always a bit of a "bachelor", and with no dependants, all his spare time and money went on the car, but then in his mid 30s, he fell in love with a lady who had a couple of kids (she was actually great chick), an then a couple more together. He decided to sell his car, partly as he thought, as a family man he looked a bit silly driving a car like that (I don't think she would have made him). I know when he sold it, it was for a fraction of what he spent on it.

Lots of reasons - McLaren wanted to be their own manufacturer, they fell out over the slr, issues around the stealing of Ferrari blueprints, Ron Dennis selling off shares etc etc
