    Looks lovely. It doesn't look anything like a Ferrrari either...

    I'm looking forward to seeing its time around the Top Gear test track. I wonder how it will compare to the Mclarren F1 too.

    Apparently they are making a racing version too.

    Thats where the name comes from, the McLaren MP4-12 - apparently this car (or the racing one) shares the innovative braking system that was on that car;

    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."

    Similar to the 458 Italia if anything but that isn't a bad thing.
