ok, it's taken a while but I think I've worked it out.
He has brought the McLaren because it is the only car that
comes with headphones/intecom as standard because it is so loud inside the cabin.
When he is out with his annoying missus he can don the headphones & switch off the noise & just nod and smile occaisionally in her direction

£600,000 for that! absolute bargin.

Nice car and good fun on the track, shame he does not know how to drive it, while he was driving flat out he should have opened the passenger door and kicked out that stupid irritating bitch.

BTW I have just patented this idea for all cars.
Won't be long before I can get my own Mclaren.

They wanted to make the road cars look good, that's why they got David McBlockhead to drive the F1

If she can suck a golf ball through a straw, she might just be worth putting up with.

Oh envy is such an ugly emotion

Best of luck to him, if I had money to burn, I'd have a car like that and a string of dumb blondes to boot!

And if I was really filthily rich, I'd crash, video it, and put a link up here too

Cant remember what Kennedy does. But I do know that this F1 was sold and then sold again since he owned it. The Bruntingthorpe thing is intentional BTW. The whole chuck it about thing so you get a feel for it. Hes also got an Enzo and IIRC a Carrera GT

I was at the factory the other week, believe me the new factory pickup experience is much better...not that i could afford one but, the place is un-beleiveable...
sneaked a few picks but better not put them up, had a tour of the place along with engine build room and dyno... awsome does not describe it...

Good for him!
Met him a few times friendly ,easy going about 36-37 yrs old now.
This (Zonda) is 1 of many vehicles in stable F40/F50/Enzo/Testarossa etc etc..
I wonder if the Mclaren isn't the only thing he's got rid of
