I wish you'd "stop voice" over apologizing for talking while you were driving. You just compounded the error by talking over the talking. I'd quite liked to have heard what you were saying - in the car, rather than listen to you apologize for saying it.

Hooray for the wealthy........eh?,what?

Well, we are always told that tech developed in and on Super/hyper cars filters down to mainstream cars,so,do we the mainstream drivers feel obligated to them for doing the in the field testing of future tech for our humble Ford's,Vauxhalls,Skoda's etc......?(come on! it's raining outside again,give us your opinions).

My money...

...would go on the LaFerrari every time. Even if its performance wasn't as good as the Mclarens. However, I await the day when Steve gets his hands on one and after a good drive is able to provide a comparative description. I think the 918 is a great car but has been left behind by these two.
