I am positive that at one point I saw a picture of a metallic blue F1 LM. can't seem to find it again... Anybody have any pics of blue LMs?
Thanks!

no, thats not an F1 LM. just a road car F1 with a high downforce kit.

...but if you like to see more of that car along with a few others, click on this link:

Thanks for the all the pics, those are great.

Yes, about 10 min after making posting this thread, I found out on another thread that there was not a blue LM, but that there was a kit - the high downforce? - that was retrofitted to F1 road cars that then looks like an LM.
The McLaren is AWESOME! I've known about it for several years, but the more I learn, the more I love it! I've never personally seen the F1 though...
Thanks again!

All I can say is WOW!
I mean, Im glad for you! I DREAM of just seeing one, much less actually sitting in one! I dont believe there are any F1s anywhere near where I am - Oklahoma. If anyone knows of any shows in the midwestern US that will feature the Mclaren F1, tell me about it!

eh? have you been following this thread? There are no blue LM's. The car pictured is jsut a standard car (011) with a high downforce kit. There are five LMs (plus one prototype), 3 are papaya orange and 2 are supposedly black, although no-one knows much about these cars.

I'm almost certain the photo you saw was of the F1 road car #072 which is black and has been fitted with the HDF Kit.

No, it sure isn't.... :lol2:

Has anybody got any pics of 072 they would like to share. I'd imagine a black F1 with a HDK must look pretty menacing.

I'll tell you the truth - that is Gordon Murray's twin brother, he just doesn't have the mullet. Sorry for pulling your leg earlier. :iceslolan

a sneaky suspicion that you're still pulling my leg, after
all, I never heard about him having a twin brother.

I'd imagine he's worked it out by now (i should hope so anyway). Peloton, did you get any further in working out the chassis number of the dark silver car with the HDF kit and the beige interior?

I have a feeling I've made a really stupid blunder, and

Is it by any chance tvrfreak or am I just making another
stupid guess

Yeas! I got it. Although you can't deny that he looks a little
like Elom Musk.
