Are you sure it was a SLR and not a 55 AMG?

JulesMaximus: I doubt you've seen a few of them, there's not too many of them in the world, nevermind the US.

"The SLR is available in limited numbers, in keeping with its exclusive character. During the vehicle?s seven-year lifespan, a total of 3,500 units will leave the Woking plant, which is equipped with the very latest in production technology."

I live in SoCal (San Diego to be exact). If there's anywhere in the world with the largest concentration of these cars here is probably number one or two on that list. I've seen a Ferrari Enzo and I see a Bentley Continental GT every day...in fact it is sitting out in front of the building here right now.

Where and what color?

Can't find a good picture of it, but it was a darker color (he was in the opposite direction...didn't stay in my line of sight for long). Probably like a graphite, but I don't know if there was a certain hue to it or not. I just about jumped out of my friends Wrangler and chased after it.

We live in San Diego county which has some of the richest zip codes in the country, I don't doubt it one bit.

yep. ive seen a couple in sd. my dad's boss's kid owns one. he's young and since my dad is a trusted employee, he lets us cruise around in it every so often. good times.

Just making sure, I had one of my friends tell me he saw a SLR the other day here in Winnipeg, I told him he was dreaming and drove to the said SLR owners house (I walked past once and drooled) and turned out to be a 55 AMG, which I do admit look rather similar.

Best ones I get to see most days are an elise and a z4 (clearly not my pics).

Nah, the McLaren has a most unique front and with no markings on the back it cannot be mistaken for any other car out there.

That CCR is fvcking bad ass!

 

[SVT Cobra]

*wow*

 

[cjgallen]

Civic with a body kit.

 

[eelw]

So there is as least 2 separate McLarens roaming the streets of Toronto. Apparently, the CEO of AIC Mutal Funds also drives a McLaren. But he is a billionaire though. And it has different plates from the one I saw.

I lied. I was thinking about the Carrera GT, not the SLR. I didn't see any SLRs in Toronto but I did see that Carrera GT.

My brother says there should be 2 SLRs in Toronto (Toronto Star reference).

Okay, then one is in the Bayview/401 area (plates ending in SLR) and the other owned by the CEO of AIC Mutual.
