Hello, I created this blog because Melbourne is my city and I want people to see what a beautiful place it is. So come with me on a journey of discovery as we traverse the dining precincts, the culture, the laneways and hidden gems that make Melbourne marvellous.

Vodafone McLaren Mercedes MP4-24

 
Above: Vodafone McLaren Mercedes MP4-24

Care for a ride? Can you imagine whizzing around in this snazzy little model? Wow - not exactly the car you'd nip to the shops and back is it? But then again, think of the heads you'd turn taking this little baby to the supermarket, or better still going through one of those McDonald's drive throughs to order your burger...


The Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 had a Mercedes FO108W V8 engine and was driven by Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainenin. The Australian Grand Prix that year was held on29 March (2009) at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit, Melbourne and was the first race of the 2009 Formula One season.

Hey, long time no see! I barely have the time to browse blogs anymore, didn't realize you were back.
Well, got those two 51 years old legs, with attached feet, they're still working well...Nice car, but not convenient for your weekend shopping.

I was going to say that this has to be some kind of mens shop. Can't imagine too many women who would care much about such a vehicle.

Certainly does attract attention, though, and I appreciate the historical commentary. I'd prefer a new Mercedes sedan, though!

The car was on display at Tulla aairpot
