Those centerlocks are sweet. I have not seen those red ones on the roadcar before.

Those are actually what are known as the travel lugs. They have a ring on them that allows the car to be strapped down for shipping. Here's a better image of them:



They have been on this car for years - it seems they were never removed since its arrival in Singapore. Normally that would be a bad thing because the car is not supposed to be driven with them installed, but this car never gets driven anyway so it really doesn't matter.

Peleton, if it has not already happened, you sir deserve a visit from Gordon Murray and a key to the Mclaren factory.

Well, I did get the visit from Gordon Murray.



No key to the McLaren factory yet, but I'll keep working on that one.

That's a good question. There are some things I know I don't know, and probably more that I haven't considered or just aren't important to me.

I don't know who owns chassis #001 - that's a bit frustrating.

I don't know which car was written off in Brunei - #004 or #005. Both cars are MIA right now.

I don't know what was actually engraved on the chassis plates of the 3 F1 GT's. They might say '054', '056' and '058' or they might have the full chassis number - '54F1GT', '56XPGT' and '58F1GT'. Minor detail, but it interests me.

There's probably a lot more, but those were the first three things that popped into my head. If anyone has the answers, I'm all ears.
