Hi Marco

I'm sure it would great in Ferrari-red as well.... let me know how your
project turns out... I'm sure other LUGNET members would love to see it too!
And yes, TLC's timing could have been a little bit better, especially
with last sunday's result in Japan.... but by the time LEGO develops a model
of this complexity and gets it to the market, there is likely a long delay.

The 8458 is likely to celebrate McLaren's '98 and/or '99 championships...
Do you think McLaren actually paid LEGO to do this model?  It is very hard
to miss the resemblance between the F1 McLaren and Silver Champion...

later

John

(...) If McLaren had paid, I would expect to see the McLaren name and logos all over it. Surely they wouldn't pay just to keep us guessing. Kerry (26 years ago, 16-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.it)
