no problem man, we finns don't use am/pm eitherThunders wrote: Yes 11am, sorry for the Confusion.
I'm bad with the AM / PM thing, we don't have such fancy stuff here in Germany.
assuming it's englandshire time right? wait. that might have been dumb question.KingHamilton01 wrote:I've even seen 1pm touted by numerous Twitter sources now, seem's logical as same time as pervious years!
That's rather pointless because as soon as they unveil the car, the servers will get hammered as news will spread across twitter etc Anyway I expect the media either have embargoed images of the MP4-30 or McLaren will send them a press pack in digital form just as the car is unveiled on it's website.poolboy67 wrote:maybe by witholding the time of release, they're attempting to avoid the vicious onslaught of people rushing to their website. i.e they may be trying to avoid a server overload. though their attempt is futile
Yes, Indeed it is awesome feeling, the anticipation to finally see the car..... C'mon Mclaren just get on with it and save us from this sufferingTeutonic Knight wrote:I can't remember any car launch in the past, for which there has been such an anticipation! Maybe to some extent for the 2009 cars due to the changed regulations; but in MP4-30's case everything is unknown - from livery to the car design!
Awesome feeling!
They should have "quietly" released the car online at midnight or say between 02.00 and 04.00 when most of the people would have been asleep (maybe even dreaming of the car). The surprise which they would have got after online for the first time in the day would have been quite something!bauc wrote:Yes, Indeed it is awesome feeling, the anticipation to finally see the car.....
