The McLaren F1 is my all-time favourite too.
Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean, Blackadder, etc.) has (had?) one years back. He was driving somewhere north of my sisters place, and drove into the back of an Austin Maestro (old pile of rust). It got taken into a garage near my sisters place.
It was in the local press - half a million quids worth of car drives into the back of something worth less than a pack of cigarettes.
A friend worked at a car tuning place many years back - they were running around a circuit here in the UK testing some suspension mods to the bosses Bentley ... and McLaren were doing some of the early production testing for the F1. It blew their minds at the time, and its still probably the all-time greatest road/race car. Nothing beats it. Period.
