Went for a ride in this. The owner (a kid at my university) said he will let me drive it any time I want in the future.

Was it fast? You’re bloody well right it is. Am I in love with this car? It’s hard to say actually. Its capable and everything but it seems a bit too clinical? I don’t know. I guess I’ll just have to drive it and find out more.. #thehardlife #firstworldproblems

I love the MP4, sad that it wasn't in production for as long as I would have liked.

I was surprised to see a 12c turn onto a rural road near me the other day. I tried to speed up a little to catch up and get to a closer look. Then we reached an intersection that we both turned at. The driver got on it a bit and I was no longer able to catch up...

/at least not if I wanted to stay anywhere near the speed limits

//that noise though

I still like it’s looks over the 650S; I must say.

I just love how subtle the design is. It has it’s own character as well, no styling cues from the big brother like the 650S has.

They sure are popular well at least in my neck of the woods. I’ve seen one 458 in my life and it was in a garage under a tarp where as I’ve seen 9 12cs roaming around London. Maybe the whole Rolls Royce ride quality is that important to owners.

Just wait, 12C prices are dropping like rocks with all the new McLaren models being released. Soon they’ll be within “saving up for several years” territory.

This one is $152,000 .

And, as Matt Farah says, any car that shoots flames is better than a car which doesn’t shoot flames.

I know! It’s crazy; isn’t it? I actually wrote about that a while ago...

For the price you can choose between a new 911 or an honest-to-god super car. Only one of them shoots flames.
