McLaren is to develop \"another road car\"


McLaren and Mercedes-Benz might develop another road car.

The Formula One collaboration recently unveiled the SLR 'supercar' but is now considering a second, less expensive model, according to a report in Auto Week.

"We are looking into the possibility," McLaren CEO Ron Dennis admitted.

A production volume of 15,000 cars is considered realistic, according to the Auto Week media report, compared to a projected 3,500 SLR models to be built.

Dennis has taken heat in 2004 over the decision to divert focus from the presently uncompetitive Formula One team to 'other projects' like the SLR.

Re: McLaren is to develop \"another road car\"

here is a pic of the SLR if anyone has not seen it yet...

If they make another, less expensive version of this car it might be something worth looking at for the folks you are into these things.

"Less expensive" hahahahahahaha! So that means, what, .8, .9 million dollars for the standard model and 1.1 mil for the nicely equipped?

The SLR is 430k. So less than that, probably around 180-250k.

I understand this level of comprehension is hard for you to grasp, so take all the time you need. When it comes to anything Alley, you're on auto-pilot. With such standard replies as; "i agree," "whatever he said," and "im with them." An honest reply to one of your posts has no doubt left you disoriented.

This isn't Snatch dumbass. I challenge you to go find me some recent posts where my reply has only been "i agree", "whatever he said" or anything trivial for that matter. The "level of comprehension" line was also just fucking stupid as well. Using my post content and comprehension level as your only source of insult would be like me calling you usefull to this website, it's just not true.

Now to get back to why your post before this one really just made no fucking sense. I asked how much a sense of humor was worth and you answered with, "I'll let you know when you say something funny." Whether or not I need to point out why this attempt at smack resulted in another "who the fuck is toto, and where are his almost 3,000 posts" reaction from everybody who read it, i'll point it out anyways.

When you ask how much something is, you don't normally get the reply, "I'll tell you after you buy it." For instance, when you walk in and ask how much your new refill of Zoloft is going to be, does the pharmacist reply, "Well toto, i'll tell you after you buy it?" No! He replies, "Let's see fuckstick, it's XXXX dollars, stay away from the local highschools, loser."

Oh, and if you aren't already inhaling Zoloft on a regular basis, I would suggest starting ASAP. Nobody on this site screams depressed, stuck in society with no possibility of advancing more than you toto.

Re: McLaren is to develop \"another road car\"

Listen up scrub, and turn off auto-pilot, i cant see any sacks for you to swing from right now, so you're on your own for the meantime. "Toto" has been used and the funny is not there. As with your other ridiculous point of, "nobody knows you, you dont contribute anything" that has been said and has been answered (look it up). My name is Tito, you know a hell of alot more right there about me than i do about you. And what exactly have you contributed?? Please enlighten me on when and how Weeztones became an integral part of what keeps the VA going. Other than being an Alley dingle berry one of a select few that hold such a title, i cant recall anything you've done thats had me thinking, "man that guy is something else."

I never compared you to Snatch, but i guess the reason for that is, he never held that nutswinger-esq mentality like you do. Further more, I'm not going through you're 3000+ posts to give any type of validation, it should be pretty obvious to you. It would be easier for Kerry to win the election than for me to sit here bored to tears reading what weeztones has had to say during his Alley tenure. Here, let me play out the standardized reply you dole out time and time again(condensed version):

Usual Suspect: Fuck that guy!
Weeeezel: Yeah, fuck him!



Yeah dude, you're way original and a barrel of laughs to boot, you've left quite a few here with a case of stretched sack. Deflate your ego there Keyboard Cowboy and know your place. You have no identity, if i ever miss what someone says i can be sure to catch it as you reiterate it in your post. Up until now i never knew what Zoloft was, throw me a few, i need them to get through your posts.


P.S. By your gorilla math i am some how wrong (i dont know how i'll live with that, but i'll manage) Your implication that i have no sense of humor led me to respond that when i see something humorous (from you) i'll let you know. Now what part of that you dont understand is beyond me, but you can keep making you're analogies all day long, you need the practice.


Get a grip Hulk.
