McLaren F1 #068 - Monterey, CA - August 20th, 2005
by Peloton25
I was invited to meet this car's owner and a friend at the Monterey Historics, and also go for a ride in the F1 which was an awesome treat.
The car had been purchased just a few weeks earlier for $1.8M and up to that point had never been registered and was only showing delivery and service mileage on the odometer at that time. When I first got in it, it had just barely over 400 total miles.
You'll note the car has some strange lugnuts - these are designed to be used as tie-downs when transporting. The car had arrived in Monterey without the larger FACOM tool chest, and so the standard "F1" wheel nuts were not able to be swapped over.
The Focus in some of the shots is mine in case anyone wonders why it did more than just sneak into some of the shots.
I wrote a story of my experience that day which was published here on the web if you'd like to read more than just my captions:

Enjoy!
