    It's from the SEMA show this year. Do you know the car? It's from your former employer.

    Nice shot. Don't recognize the car. I'm pretty sure it wasn't built by any of my former employers: Worlds of Fun, Circuit City, University of Missouri... well maybe they went nuts with the Formula SAE car this year.

    Hey Cletus! wave.gif

    It's not a Circuit City car. It's actually a Ford. It's a one-off built especially for Edsel Ford when he was a kid.

    That's a nice shot, Fitzy. Is that the only Ford not built on an assembly line? mwink.gif

    Nope, not mine. A client of mine. That is an LM F1, one of only 5 on the planet (Well, 6 if you count the prototype.)

    What differentiates an LM from a standard McLaren?
    What's this button do?

    In 1995, the McLaren F1 GTR achieved its place in history by winning the Le Mans endurance race at the first attempt. Not only did the F1 GTR finish first, it also occupied 3rd, 4th, 5th and 13th places when the flag came down after 24 gruelling hours.

    To celebrate this extraordinary feat, McLaren Cars created a limited edition of just five LM's - one for every F1 GTR which finished the race. Whilst the LM is a model in its own right, the concept was that it should be a 1995 F1 GTR, with the minimum modifications to make it usable on the road. Thus the LM runs the most powerful engine of any F1, road or race, by using an 1995 GTR engine without the air restrictors. It also features the race car aerodynamics, gearbox and 18" inch wheels.

    As a tribute to the memory of Bruce McLaren, all the F1 LM's were painted in the same Papaya Orange that was used on his contemporary Formula One and Can Am cars.

    Inside the LM, the driver sits in an all carbon fibre race seat, and the passenger seats are moulded into the moncoque. With minimal trim, the interior carbon is beautifully finished in high gloss lacquer.

    With 680 bhp and weighing some 60kg less than the F1 road car, the F1 LM is the fastest accelerating F1 of all.
