TBH if I was @riano I'd not have been overly enamoured with a non Porsche car. I have to accept the fact that I knowingly bought a car without a main dealer "locally" so I was never going to have a McLaren anyway, although, I think it would be a little more unfair to expect a >£200K car as a courtesy car. The Jag is excellent tbh.Going by some people on here you should have been expecting a P1 or the likes for your courtesy car
I presume you had to arrange the delivery of the car?
I did not have to arrange delivery, no. McLaren did.

Without getting into it all again I believe his situation wasnt as bad as it was made out ... the epitome of FirstWorldProblems if you ask me.
Thats good they sorted delivery, a pain im sure having to let it go across the water to be worked on. I presume you have no notions of letting it go for something else anytime soon?

Pay for it. Expect it. Blah blah blah... but you're right and wrong with it being a first world problem. It's a paid for problem that should offer a suitable solution... anyways who cares
Keep everyone happy and it's easier Yeah mate it's handy they sort the delivery. CCRS took the car and are bringing it back this evening. It's frustrating for it having to go back/forth but fortunately this is the only time and it's for something daft and I had it serviced early while it was away so works out pretty good all in all.
No notions of changing just yet. If I am completely honest I think the deprecation on any of the heavier stuff right now makes it absolutely mental to change currently. McLaren, Lambo, Ferrari et all are suffering massive slumps in their "high end marquee models" which isn't ideal
I've no clue if it's fixed priced - this first service is about £550.

Thats very cool, they come and lift the car and leave you off a nice F Pace. Cant really ask for better service than that.
Its a great car to have, always loved Schmee's purple 600LT and he raved about how its the best car hes ever had or driven so given the stuff he gets on a weekly basis thats high praise. Dont blame you being happy for now with it, im sure its a hoot to drive on a daily basis.

It's all via McLaren Assist which is essentially "AA Prestige" or something. Either way it's super handy. CCRS pick up car. Enterprise deliver car. Job jobbed. I'll have CCRS deliver the car back to Enterprise as well which means a seamless swap over.
The 600LT has insane reviews. Everyone raves about them. I can't drive that well and I love the car so I imagine anyone with a bit of skill can really hammer these things. They're utterly superb though. I miss one thing from my Audi since changing over to McLaren and that's (Well two things, local Audi dealer) the noise from the Akrapoviç -- I think most everything else the McLaren blows it away.

Nice one, I'm pleased for you Warren
McLarens are nice but buying one is not a gamble I would take. you'll buy something cool again.

Happy days! And obviously the anxiety, stress and sleepless nights they’ve caused you they’ve dropped off a p1 as a good will gesture

Holy update Batman.
I won my 26 (yes, twenty six) month long case against McLaren. Bye bye broken McLaren.
And no I’ve no idea what I want next. I’m going to be shocked if I bother with another Supercar. They’re a pain in the hole.
Meh. Lost a McLaren gained an Ex Miss Ni.
You are doing ok mate
