The West Chester C&C has been great because the drive for most of us is through a combination of 2 lane highway followed by windy back roads. It really is a good place to land after a great ride. Unfortunately, the pics have the strip center in the back round. The coffee shop sits by itself and the parking lot is perfect for a lot of cars and is away from the regular traffic. I will have to keep my eyes open for the co-ed tanners. I'm obviously spending to much time looking at the cars.

I was going to say you guys should come down here, but I'll totally drive up there in the spring and try to get some of the guys to come with me. It could be a combo car/food road trip. My wife and I love Philadelphia, in fact Pennsylvania as a whole, and drive up there often for concerts or just to get some good food.

One week you guys can come here and well setup a special place for lunch/parking/visit to McLaren/etc --- then another week well do that down in your hood
Are you local? I dont recall seeing that AM at C&C ever - maybe i am spending too much time looking at the coed tanners

You need to compare apples to apples. You can't compare manufacturers times with those of journalists. Horst von Saurma probably has more Nordschiefe laps in 911 variants than anyone else on the planet. The fact that he was able to post HIS third best time ever in a car he was driving for the very first time is in his words, "astonishing". My understanding is he had a total of 12 minutes to familiarize himself with the car before attempting is one and only timed lap. I expect we will see significant faster laps when McLaren conducts their own test with someone like Chris Goodwin driving, who knows the cars unique features inside and out.

Sounds good. I have the first MP4-12c Spyder at Mclaren Philly coming. So I'm sure it will make it's way to C&C in a year or so.
