There is a story of a German banker, Dr Thomas Bscher. He used to commute to work in his F1 on the autobahn between his home in Cologne and his office in Frankfurt at speeds over 200mph on a regular basis. His story was validated when McLaren downloaded the ECU's log via the on-board modem connection to the factory. The factory checked over the car's data feed and discovered that it had been hitting 200mph, every single day of the week!

[@rudolfdaher]

Exactly. I read that story in the French Sport Auto magazine. They thought there was a problem with the black box but he confirmed driving daily at such speeds. A true F1 epicurean owner.

Well i've got a story for you all The missing Mexican F1, chassis #39 In the late 90s a McLaren F1 was secretly "imported" (the car never got registered) to Mexico by an infamous Cartel leader whose business operated in the state of Sinaloa, nothern Mexico. We know that the car was registered in the UK and the chassis is number 39, a 1/1 spec. Here's where the story turns weird, the owner was supposedly killed in the early 2000's and before he died he hid the keys, after his passing no one knew where he'd left them. After that, someone close to him reached McLaren and they refused to do something with the car's documentation after knowing who the owner actually was and quoted 200k for a new key that was never bought. It is said the car is stored and guarded somewhere in the rural part of Sinaloa and hasn't been seen since 2004. One of the few photos of the car: instagram.com/p/B6HfVfEgUg_/?igshid=9v7tv05042xm
