Congratulations M5Essex!
That's a stunning color - the blue is mesmerizing!
Let us know on your overall ownership experience, I am following from far the depreciation curve of Maccas.

Congrats!!!

Still have my 650s spider with over 6500+ miles and no issues outside of some minor items. 10+ track days included. Took ownership of 675 and "flipped" it as didnt see the "value 4 th $" over my 650. Waiting for P14 model in 2017.

Thanks Niko. nice to know they are robust enough to have some fun at the track and still clock up some daily miles without too many issues. niggles I get used to as all cars have them, however annoying they are.

what colour 650s do you have and do you mind telling me the kind of 'minor' items that needed fixing?

I too struggle to see why the 675LTs are fetching such a premium over the 650, as that will be short-lived once the P14 / 722 comes out next year.

look forward to seeing that when she debuts next year

Its supernova silver but recently wrapped her with a Chicane Grey. Minor issues have been; dash (instrument) cluster rattle, winshield molding came loose on pillar, software updates to fix IRIS issues with bluetooth disconnecting. During my annual service they did a clutch cooler upgrade as part of WP-107514 mclaren campaign, but never had any issues with going into limp mode or clutch overheating. At one airstrip event i launched her 3x in a row.
