Don't think for a second we forgot about the Carrera GT James.
+PuffinDragun69 😂
Mr JWW Why did you flash devil horns @5:36🤘
think he was just gesturing meaning the number one but he does like is metal
hes a satanist?? haha
PuffinDragun69 I like the Carrera GT better , but that's just me .
Ahhh the F1. Countless hours of playing need for speed in the 90's!
lol NFS 4 HIGH STAKES
The people who passed up the original opportunity to own one at sticker price must have so much regret! It's such a special car without even considering the return on investment
thedownshiftchannel what did they originally go for?
thedownshiftchannel that must be the one dislike the video has
Josue Dominguez hahahaha
MEMES they seemed very expensive at the time in the US at $815k but if you consider the insane value now, the materials and man hours in it!
BB-8 yes I think I recall Jay Leno saying he kept looking at one in the showroom and couldn't decide
Faisal seems like a such a sick dude! Hella chill.
Seized Cheese what other vids was he in?
Seized Cheese : Roadtrips to Geneva Motorshow every years
Compared to his Uncle Osama... No chill
@@matmul4850 he is the nephew of osama bin laden

Love how this channel is just growing and growing and you're staying true to quality content and rising with each episode. Much appreciation James.
+Ross Johnson thanks a lot Ross I appreciate the appreciation! 🚗💨💨💨
Yes I am loving the editing and sound tracks
I think that is the difference between a rich guy starting a youtube channel and a guy who is trying to get rich by starting a youtube channel. James is the first one and it's fucking great :D
If i ever have money to buy one i will have to convince my gf/wife that it is familly car because it has 3 seats
Kitumijasi okay
If i had the money to buy one, it would be because it has 3 seats so i can drive around with 2 bitches:)
hey good luck saving up $3,000,000 because that will easily be the value by then
Wodz30 it is around 10,000,000$ right now
Kitumijasi This car is worth £14 mil
james, could you please do a tour of the car? like show us all the buttons and cool features etc?
hvf26 the quirks
I'd just like to see how to get in, and out of, that centre seat!
Achyuth Vaibhav and cool features?
Maybe he put that on his column on oversteer
MRFUCKOFF202 I think you have to go to Autotrader.com to see it.
You sir, are a man i would drink a cup of tea with ☕️
+Money Making Maniac And I Sir would share it with you!
Tranquility Amidst Chaos no they share the same cup XD
special car, special owner, special video. Thanks to all involved.
Global Nomad well said.
is this mr bean's mclaren? who's the owner?
it used to be Rowen Atkinson's car, as noted in earlier videos. Don't need to know the current owner beyond that he is extremely generous - he avoided being in the video all week until the end.
Yeah, previously it was owned by Mr.Bean and now owned by Faisal Binladen (he is from multi billion dollar empire of Binladen constructions family), he is a car enthusiast as well.
I love the passion Faisal has for these cars. he seems like such a genuine guy, and it's great to know that he is a caretaker of such amazing cars like the F1 and P1 LM.
The F1 shouldn't be at all a car which is intimidating to drive. Keep in mind that Gordon Murray's intent was to make the car resemble the Honda NSX as closely as possible. I think all that pressure is purely from the fact that you're at the wheel of something costing millions upon millions of dollars.
No, he didn't make the car to close as nsx. He did mention the nsx was the benchmark, but it didn't mean to be NSX copycat. Why didn't they just collaborate to make a car? at that time McLaren and Honda were partner.
Where did I imply that the F1 was to going to be a copycat NSX? Go look up what it means to consider something a "benchmark". Gordon was mostly inspired by the driving aspect of the NSX, a car which he himself owned. Its driver friendliness was one feature which intrigued him the most. Gordon initially sought after Honda to build the engine for the F1, but Honda were reluctant to get on board. That's what lead towards the partnership with BMW.
"resemble as close as possible", okay copycat is exaggerating word. But, no he did not make F1 to resemble as close to nsx as possible.
"As close as possible" doesn't necessarily mean an exact copy. The phrase was used as the two cars were meant to have similar driving characteristics. Believe whatever makes you happy, but the realistic and historical fact that the NSX inspired Gordon to develop the F1 contradicts what you're saying.
Interesting that you mention Honda as Gordon Murray approached them first to build a motor for the F1. He only went to BMW after Honda turned him down. Stupid Honda - would have been interesting to see what they could have come up with although the BMW V12 would be hard to beat.
It was nice seeing more of Faisal, hearing him talking about the F1 was most interesting, and he saying he wanted this car since 1995 was very touching.
And it goes without saying, it's a delight watching you two petrolheads sharing your passion. Thanks for bringing us along. Your videos always make my day.
Love the way how you explain everything in ease and that's clear for everyone!
What a rare slice of conversation and content. I loved the respectful and yet fully engaged pace and tone of this whole video. As ever, 25 years on, my favorite car defends its title in my own heart of cars with nearly imperceptible and graceful effort. :))) Always appreciate Faisal's passion and articulation, and of course his willingness to share some rarified petrol adventures- a true petrolhead. James, thanks for elevating the entire medium. Only on RUclips for JWW content these busy days. Well done. Cheers as always.
So what's Faisal's background and what else does he have stashed in the garage? Seems like a cool guy - obviously really appreciates the car...
Osama bin Laden's nephew...
Gavin Sullivan unsure on most but I know he owns this and a P1 gtr, obviously has more but unsure on which are his
I believe he owns the first production Regera (green carbon spec).
And an mso hs
Dark Horse you are a 100% right but I am not jealous to be honest.
What an amazing video. My fav so far of your Mac tour. What an honour to drive such a masterpiece. Keep it up. Looking forward to your next upload.
+EffectivemomentumPT Thanks bro - more to come!
Hey JWW, once again, very nice content... But this time (and on the last few videos too) you really manage to take me with you this amazing F1 experience, which was my dream car as a kid, and still is!
thank you a lot!
I can confirm Shmee is the most jealous person in the world right now XD
Thank you so much for the constant great content seriously amazing stuff, greetings from Australia mate.
rules of the channel: like video, watch video, like comments

+Omar Waziri ... You clearly possess a different book of Cricket rules to mine....

matthias eelen about 2000 bucks

Your videos are amazing! :) Keep doing your thing James! 😉 watching from Portugal 🇵🇹
+FourTeen Pt Hello Portugal!
He is right James! Your videos are amazing!
a big Hello from Portugal ;)
FourTeen Pt same! 🇵🇹
Mr JWW If F1 comes to Portugal you have to come watch it!
We need you in Portugal James, around here there are amazing roads to be discovered. Um abraço para todos
What a great video - intriguing discussion. Faisal is so well spoken and I felt involved in the conversation throughout. James, you continue to deliver extensive quality.
It's a very unique video MrJWW, don't think I can find a similarly engaging video for this type of car made by anyone else. You are an artist - never ever loose that down to earth nature
Very good episode! I even got nerves seeing you drive the F1... Thank you mr JWW!!
You definitely would make a great top gear presenter James! Awesome video and car! Subs are rocketing for you now! I thought my 250bhp tuned abarth was cool but this car just makes me drool knowing i could never ever have one!
as always Mr JWW, much love and mad appreciation for your vids, all the way from Kenya. Keep the keeping on this great!
Your content is always so real. You explain the experience of driving all the cars so good, keep it up!
Since I was a little kid I was obsessed with this car! I only knew it from a video game (NFS2 :D) and a few pictures from magazines back then. Thank you so much for sharing this experience! Even though it's just though the screen, but I think that I've soaked up some of that F1 feeling. :)
"Pneumatic Waft of Blip" :))
Great video James, what an experience for you!
I am also lost for words at how pleased I am to have been able to even watch this. Faisal is a legend! Well done man.Two life dreams in as many months..I can only congratulate you..
thats your best video ever. honest, authentic, good commentary from Bin Laden, all of it.. fantastic. thank you.
Although the video wasn't as big a production as some of your other videos, this was definitely one of the most engaging I've watched on your channel so far. Good work!
That's a dream moment buddy !!! I'm pleased that you enjoyed it with knowledge of the luck that you had to get behind the wheel of this master piece. That was a good talk of both of you ! And your friend seems like a true enthusiast and a legitimately good guy !! Thank you both for sharing your passion and those moments with us ... Greetings from France ! JB
Such a stunning car... One of those cars that you just can't dislike in any way... Amazing! Can't get enough of it!!!
Truely special! Also can't think of anyone else that could convey the experience as well as you do. Crackin'!
Ok... I've hooked the laptop to the big screen and watching it while I'm commenting here via my phone... Wow Wow Wow... well done JWW!! I've got goosebumps just watching....
I can almost feel the pressure you were in! Never seen you like this, since the very start! But I'm really glad for this video, and for everything this channel has become. Great, great job as always James, you're really the very best in what you do
Thank you to share in such a clever way your driver's feelings and state-of-the-art owner.
We enjoy every piece of your YT life.
I'm so happy you got the chance to drive this car and show it such a down to earth way - you are making some of the best car vlogs out there - good work Sir, full respect to the JWW!
Hard work pays off God dammit
Rich Piana Yup
Whittle Moore Right babe
Rich Piana whatever it takes
jjustyyn _ Got to confuse the body
Rich Piana jww was born rich mate , I don't say he doesn't work hard but he was already rich when he was born.
imagine the cost of day insurance to let james drive it
Amazing content as per usual! Love your channel. Looking forward to more great vids.
+Sion h Thanks bro - lots more to come soon!
Over the last few months you have slowly became my favorite RUclipsr, thanks for the amazing content.
Thank you for your en-depth review of this car. It truly is a special car regardless of the cost. It's priceless for those in the know.
I was literally living through you on this video.. Thanks for sharing. F1 is as EPIC as it gets. Cheers.
Awesome video. That must've been absolutely amazing to drive!
And what a chill owner, too!
Truly a 'Goosebumps' moment that won't be topped EVER! Awesome set of McLaren F1 videos, that even back when it was new was never covered by motor journalists. What an honour to meet and experience a motoring icon as the F1...
It amazes me how you could take the eyes of the road so many times, to look at your friend, while driving an F1. It reminds me the first time I drove a ferrari! Certainly a great day for you.
What a sick Video! Can't believe I missed you whilst you are in Switzerland!
Congrats on the drive! Awesome stuff!
This is the most amazing thing ever best series of videos on the channel I mean on YT yet
How does it feel to drive on rhe middle seat?
Oh well looks like I'm loading up Assetto Corsa (PC sim) and driving the McLaren F1 GTR, it may not be the real thing but it's still a sense of occasion.
Great video, thank you so much for sharing and a massive thank you to the owner for not only allowing you James to drive, but also not keeping this masterpiece under a dust cover.
Glimiril i fully appreciated this car the most in TDU 1 after i played that game with the F1 for about a week non stop and its trully an amazing car
Great chap to let you drive his car!!! Think I wouldn't be able to do that for anybody. What an experience!!!!
Loved watching your videos of the F1. Please thank your friend for letting you share the experience.
No kidding. My laptop's speaker blew up while watching this video and you didn't even give it some beans. Keep making videos James and I will keep sacrificing speakers lol
Watching it again. Let's see if my speakers survive this time
Love the fact he let you have a drive! what a top man this owner is!
"Crash course in brain surgery" another Metallica reference there James, love it! On the garage inc album in case you haven't heard.
Mr Tee thank you!! I couldn't remember why it sounded so familiar.
LifelsGreat no probs
First few seconds and I get the feeling this is the best video ever! :D
Now is this a Mr JWW being a nervous driver. lol. Lovely video. 👍
I don't know if driving a £13-15M F1 can be put into words on a RUclips video, but James you have done it. Anther fantastic video !
+Gary Meola, Jr. Thanks Gary, lots more to come!
Very amazing car James, your seat more forward, the guy sitting more behind, very special buttons and pedals Mc Laren F1 and why it is worth millions , thanks for sharing Mr JWW 😲😲😲😲😎😎😎😛😜😂😛😜😂😜😛😜😂
Very cool of the owner to let you drive and cool of you to respect the drive.
Man has made many great things.
Long range support from Hong Kong :) You sir is a legend :p keep up the good work!
This was awesome!! I was nervous for you. lol.
The videos are always amazing James. Keep up the amazing content I love being this early!!!!
+Jeff Klein Thanks a lot Jeff, lots more to come!
I've been the Driver of the Gts, from which Domzeroto took the thumbnailphoto 🙌🏻 what an honor to see it being shared by you ! #Goosebumps
What an opportunity! Thank you for the content James!
why would i need notifications when i'm always on youtube 😂 but awesome vid as always james
I wish there had been an EKG machine hooked up to you when you were starting off for your drive in this. I am fairy certain I could see your heart moving your shirt in and out. LOL
That was delightful to see you driving it, I found it interesting as you pulled away the lack of throttle as all the racing cars I have driven you need a lot of throttle to pull away but then they were not like this car! LOL My only complaint is that was toooooo short :( So I will have to watch it again and again etc
*As you know i prefer a travel in the XJ220 but , this is also outstanding! keep up with this good stuff material, god bless you James*
The previous videos didn't quite capture the significance of the F1 for me, however, this video completely changed my thoughts about the car! It's brilliant! Great video James!
Swallow that thesaurus James! Well done on a great video that goes some way to conveying what it must feel like to be in control of a motoring "Mona Lisa" !
James you were not your normal self, funny to watch. Living your dream James :)
Best vid yet. Awesome
Two very cool guys in this F1. Thanks for all the F1 content, it's my favorite car of all time! Also, Faisal needs an F1 LM or F1 GTR... He seems like someone who truly appreciates everything the F1 represents. Also, I'd be hard-pressed not to repaint my F1 into something like Genesis Blue or some crazy MSO purplish blue, but props for keeping the original color - it truly keeps this great car as a time capsule.
I saw one of the first F1 road cars being driven to a gas station in Woking Surrey and jaw dropped when I used to work for Tag back in the day with the F1 race car in the lobby. Later the company built a Spectre-style underground manufacturing facility also in Woking to pump out the latest McLarens that we all add to our shopping baskets online and blast around the countryside roads at the weekend (in our dreams).
Now that you have driven both would you buy a carrera gt or an F1?
James isn't that mclaren F1 previously owned by rowan atkinson aka Mr.Bean
the hellboy yes it is
I have had the fortune of seeing three of these in person up close and it is just a pure masterpiece. Easily the greatest car ever made and the story behind it is simply mindblowing and will never be replicated. Photos and videos do not do this justice. Seeing this car up close in person will bring you to tears if you truly understand and appreciate what you are experiencing. Watching these series of videos is bringing back a lot of good memories with this car. There is not a place in the world where this car is commonplace. Not Monaco or Dubai. Seeing this car is a privilege. I enjoy watching this channel because our lifestyles are very similar and i've been fortunate to have been in so many of these amazing cars. I will also say that the CGT and F40 are truly amazing but fall short of this.
I see the long tail gulf one when I was on the shop floor at MTC but just to many people around to try take a picture was just amazing seeing it so close your so lucky to drive one
Its must be a great experience to drive such a unique car !! You are a lucky man MR JWW :P
Absolutely amazing...a RUclipsr...this content...can't believe it
Awesome descriptive words of appreciation for the car but really want to see more of the car and listen to the car! I completely understand your situation of utter awe and trying to find the words and the emotional level is jacked up to 11!
so jealous James. Life goals done properly. Keep it coming
8:51 did that land rover tow a Morgan three wheeler on a trailer and by the way your videos is just getting better and better;)
The Gold inlays , and Fuse Box on the side I'm going to love starting her up every time .
Wow I was like "it's over already"?.. this video felt like it was 2 minutes long that's enjoyable it was! 👍
What an experience. Tnx for sharing
top top video as always and to feature such a car, WOW
This whole series, man, too insane. The chance this happened is way rarer than winning the lottery
Faisal the type of guy.....oh sorry wrong channel JK.
Great content as always mate! keep up making amazing content for us :D
hahaha i see what u did there!
This video is epic, goosebumps, just listening to two car nuts that know what they are talking about just talking about cars and the F1. Awesome guys! I feel your passion and love for this car 👍
This car for me just takes the definition of a 'car' to a different level. it's so different from what im used to that it's exclusivity and coolfactor just fly through the roof!
loved the video as always James.
overtime you upload, i get so happy!
+Aman Mehta 😄
Everytime *
the rev matches in the beginning seemed on point. that's impressive, considering that's not easy to do well when you're driving a car for the first time.
nice video as usual James, did you got to drive the car in Twisties ? the owner of the car really seems to be a fine gentleman, kudos to him !
How is this channel not 500k yet
Fantastic - as usual
