“It was an employee of McLaren and it was all within the speed limit. He said he pulled out of a lay-by just past the roundabout, then just lost control and caught the driver coming the other way."

If that was just normal driving then the car isn't fit to be on the roads. More likely he's turned the TC off and given it a right bootful. Tea and biscuits with Ron I should think, minus the biscuits.

Normal car - boot it and make appointment to accelerate
Super car - boot it and meet bushes, trees, hedges etc

Always been thus. Car is almost certainly ok, it's the loose nut behind the wheel that's the problem.

Reading some threads over on Pistonheads about this new car it would seem that McLaren really have made a backside of it.

Recall after recall, modifications to things like the doors not working in the rain, the media system not working and won't work till modifications are made in Feb, ecu problems etc etc.

Seems like they rushed the car out for some reason before it was fully ready - maybe cash flow?
