SENNA SHAKEDOWN! The Repair is Complete

[@Shmee150]

It's been a long wait but the Senna is now repaired and having a shakedown with McLaren to get it all signed off and ready for collection in a few days - I can't wait!

[@witherprince_7398]

You should collect it on Christmas as before

[@MattSump]

With that financing you have. Does the incident effect any sort of 'diminished value' as we call it in the states when there is an accident on the VIN history? Happy to see it back!

[@markconroy2837]

[@snchez2106]

I would be extremely angry if someone did that to my car without even asking me. Shmee's tolerance is admirable.

[@minjaijung]

@@snchez2106 It's part of the test... Would you rather have to detect problems on the road after collection?

[@arniracing]

Uragan5. I dont think they do this test to every car that comes out the line. I shmee says cars are usually shakedown around the factory on standards roads. This sort of shakedown is mainly for cars in development.

[@darth_pandino4265]

@@arniracing honestly if a car like the Senna breaks while doing a shakedown like that I'd be relieved to know that it broke with a McLaren driver driving and not on me

[@davidd4677]

First off, Steve probably has one of the coolest jobs on the planet. Being able to test high powered cars on a private track/roadway has got to be the most fun anyone can have after punching their time card. That's the kind of job you don't mind going in early for and look forward to staying late. 2nd, that active aero wing is just fascinating. I would have a hard time keeping my eyes on the road because I would constantly be looking back to see it working. I would imagine that driving one that you own is an experience like no other.

[@m3alam892]

One of the best specs out there. Happy to see it back on the road. Makes some good track content with it.

[@Shmee150]

Hope you enjoyed the videos earlier this year at the Nurburgring and Spa!

[@m3alam892]

Shmee150 I really enjoyed those videos. Love the channel.

[@mirco5546]

Finally! So happy to see this car back to its glory... art on wheels!

[@Shmee150]

When the Senna originally launched you'd never, ever have heard somebody refer to it as art on wheels; amazing how time created familiarity with the extreme design

[@mirco5546]

Totally agree, my opinion on this car has changed a lot since it was first unveiled; it must feel unreal to own such a car!

[@jmea997.2]

Art on a spare set of wheels

[@EchoM3]

This test driver has the best job ever. He drives amazing Mclarens and enjoys them more than most owners

[@dannyd7714]

Silver wheels look good! Should consider a set to put those tires on for the longer drives and keep the Trofeo set for track.

[@PeteMiller]

Thanks Tim, for sharing the video of the wing activation (air brake) for the different modes! To see the speed differential between Comfort, Sport & Track was quite amazing (air brake activation at each level was quite evident)!!

[@chrisk8187]

VERY interesting and informative! Also the driving around on English roads. I visited England for seven days in '77. We toured the countryside outside of London on the "B" and "C" roads and stayed at local B%B's patronized by native English. It was a mental challenge leaving Heathrow Airport AND driving on the left side of the narrow two lane roads while in the right side seat shifting manually the rented Austin Mini and negotiating "roundabouts". We didn't have them in the USA back then. It was mentally exhausting doing that and not killing ourselves or anyone else! The English countryside was right out of British film. We had a great time in the land of Monty Python and Fawlty Towers. Ate REAL English breakfasts at small rural B&B's: rack of dry toast, "bangers", marmalade/jam, eggs and fried tomatoes. When they brought the coffee it was always two pots, one with coffee the other milk. The issue was how much milk, no one drank it black! If you did, they would know you were American. When we returned home I would have panic attacks due to having concentrated SO HARD on not killing anyone in Enland that it was a struggle to remember which side of the road on which to drive and turn properly.

[@lealefebvre7591]

Worked with Steve many years ago on the McLaren 2 seater f1 car, one of the nicest most unassuming person I've ever had the pleasure to work with. You were in very lucky to have such a legend at McLaren to look after your shakedown, glad your had a good day

I’ve been watching Smee’s videos for many many years now, it’s like a daily ritual. Clean, non cluttered and richly car orientated. I hope to meet you one day. I live in Dubai currently but I am from Hampton court originally. If there was one car that I would love to see you review, it would be a 1970 Buick gs 455 stage 1 in memory of my grandad and also a jaguar xj15 as this is not covered much. Cheers...

[@mphdesigns19]

When I first saw the Senna when McLaren announced it, I really wasn’t that much of a fan of the styling. I did understand that McLaren was going for function over form but as time has gone on, it’s grown on me so much that I think it’s one of the most beautiful cars ever created!!! Personally I think the 720S is THE most beautiful production car EVER built with the Senna very close behind. And as the Senna’s design has grown on me, I’ve realized that IMO, McLarens, ALL OF THEM, are the most gorgeous cars ever offered for sale!!!!! And Shmee, the spec of your Senna is absolutely top notch!!! But personally, my favorite car of all the ones Tim has (or had), his 675LT Spyder’s spec is absolutely perfect!!!

[@kaasimmir8971]

I can’t believe I saw your car at work yesterday. Didn’t even think it was yours as it seemed to be lighter than cerulean blue, I guess that’s because the dark blue carbon was covered in tape. Very cool to see your car out on the tracks.

[@Shmee150]

Awesome! Hope you enjoyed seeing it going around, were you on track somewhere?

[@kaasimmir8971]

I certainly did. The Cerulean blue looks incredible in person. I wasn’t out on track. I was in the building by the fuel station when I saw it.
