    yeh well i cant actually prove it now cos the git wnt send me the dam photos I had them in my hotmail inbox but i had to go and bloody delete them didnt I lol.

    I will keep trying, and I dunno whether he is bulls%&tting me but he did say when i emailed him earlier that he knows someone who is gettin a veyron, that im struggling to believe but I have asked him to take photos when he sees it, sitting in it, so I await a reply on that one.

    I will keep trying on the photos...to be honest i dunno why hes being so protective over his photos, he said cos he doesnt want people trying to sell them on ebay if they havent actually got them.

    Have you never seen pics like that then?

    And by the way he emailed me again yesterday and said that he WOULD get some more photos for me, so fingers crossed he will get them a.s.a.p and I will post them. He said he had to go to his Dads where they are now protected in cabinets bla bla

    I got his autobiography signed aswell, and I met him a day later at a petrol station near Biggin Hill airport in Kent with Bernie Ecclestone. Both signed a piece of paper towel lol

    I have a Spawn action firgure in original package signed by Tod McFarlane himself. Got it in one of the anime trade shows in San Diego years ago.

    FYI here's a link SPAWN.COM.

    I own the "McLaren" badge off the rear of an F1 GTR (#10R) which was replaced when the car was repaired after a crash during testing. I also own the stick-on "GTR" badge found on the rear grilles of a longtail F1 GTR. Finally the small disc with the "F1 V12" logo can be found in the center of the steering wheel on a McLaren F1, inset into the carbon fiber wheel center. I've attached a photo below since you don't seem to believe these items would come up for sale.

    I can tell you that I've seen all the items carbrochuretom mentioned and more listed for sale on Ebay and in other places. There was even an F1 pedal set (gas, brake and clutch) that showed up on Ebay which sold for just over £1000 as I recall. Gordon Murray later told me was a real bargain based on what he recalls it cost to have those made. Another of the more unique F1 items to be listed for sale was the carbon fiber airbox that swallows air from the roof scoop and feeds it down into the inlet ports over the engine. No idea where someone found one of those, but it was listed in Germany on Ebay.

    Probably the rarest item in my personal collection is the F1 GT longtail roadcar brocure. I'm not much for brochure collecting, but I do have that one and the standard McLaren F1 launch brochure in my possession.

    I don't know if I would call it luck - I did have to pay for all this stuff.

    Here are some shots of the GT and F1 brochures and something else I almost forgot I had. It's an original Light Car Company Rocket brochure that I had personally autographed by Gordon Murray last year. When I showed it to him he was suprised to see it and commented that he wasn't even sure he had a copy of it in his own collection. I told him if I ever find another that I'll make sure it ends up in his hands.
