| This page is all
about my love for the fastest, and most
expensive!, legal road car on earth; the
McLaren F1. The ultimate rush on four
wheels! There will be pics, files, maybe
sounds, and whatever else I can think of.
Feel free to take anything you want off
this page, but I didn't make most of it,
so it's not my fault if you get in
trouble with it. Check out all the areas
and be sure to drop me a line through
e-mail or the guestbook. Seeya! If you're
wondering about me, I'm 15 years old, I
go to Ridley College, in St.
Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Life is
good.
