While I may only be in dreamland with my 1:18 McLaren, Dad had a hands-on role with his friend's M8D McLaren during the height of big-banger sports car racing in Australia. The M8D is perhaps the most famous of the McLaren Can Am racers not only for it's fantastic race results, but for the fact that Bruce McLaren died while testing one in June, 1970.

Here's a shot of the car at Amaroo, driven by owner Barry Singleton. That's Dad with the cool 70's flares arming the kill switch.
