As some of you know, I recently had the fantastic opportunity to drive ex-Formula 1 driver Jo Bonnier's 1968 McLaren M6B Can-Am car, thanks to owner and close friend, Bob Lee. What a ride this car was! Easily the most brutal machine I've ever had the privilege to put the boot to (at Infineon Raceway, no less!). With eight individual throttle bodies barring over 600hp, the mere curling of a toe on your right foot calls up nearly unmanageable amounts of power. And the sound unleashed is simply breathtaking!

SpeedTV.com was there to document the event and they just posted the resulting article on the website today. For the full story, videos and photos, click the following link... http://www.speedtv.com/articles/auto...festyle/38624/

Many thanks to car owner Bob Lee, Tony Woodford of Robin Automotive and Marshall Pruett of SpeedTV.com for allowing me such an amazing experience!

That's pretty freakin' cool. How did you manage to achieve this opportunity? Def. one you'll never forget.

 

Haaa Gary, I was looking at Diecast cars the other day on ebay, I saw the one you drove. Pretty cool. It didn't have the crazy azz mirrors, but still pretty cool.

 

thats quite a sound that thing makes.

 

sweet deal

 

That's sweet !

 

Do those side mirrors move up or down? Must be nice!

 

that is bad ***. I bet your head was in a world of joyful pain from that monster.
