There we were strolling down Marshall Street, Edinburgh in search of Elephants when without wanting this object of desire pulled up beside us in traffic.<\/p>\n
I immediately dropped to my knees. Not in supplication but to get a better angle of this green machine from Britain’s most exotic (really the only) supercar manufacturer, McLaren.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the streets of Edinburgh are crawling with 570Ss, ‘The affordable McLaren’. Starting at around a quarter of a million Australian dollars I am sure they are a popular choice for the narrow streets and heavy traffic.<\/p>\n
Tongue-in-cheek aside, the 570S is a beautiful creation giving those Italian machines solid competition in both style and engineering.<\/p>\n
This is only ever the third McLaren I have personally seen in the wild anywhere in the world and this time I was just lucky to have been holding my camera while looking for Elephants on Marshall Street.<\/p>\n
