McLaren visit

Jonty

So this Friday is a big day.....  One of the best work emails I have seen:

Hello Colleagues,

As you may be aware we are lucky enough host a full size replica of the 2011 MP4-26 26 Vodafone McLaren Mercedes (VMM) Race Car. And it gets better, we will also be giving employees the opportunity to work with McLaren engineers and experience firsthand what it

Well here is my afternoon at the office... My mug shot and got 1hr doing the drill with a couple of work colleagues.  We could only manage a time of 3.10sec.  That put us in top for PF, with the leaders at 2.74sec.  Man, those tyres are light and that air gun is a wonderful toy   All in all, an experience to remember....

I'll admit that I'm not a huge motor racing fan but I reckon a day like you had would convert me!  :thumb:
