    A friend presented me with an interesting story the other day involving a Mclaren in TO, and was wondering if anyone knew how many F1 owners there are (if any) in Canada, i saw the thread a while back about Mr. Stroll's F1 but am not sure if it resides in Canada, thanks for the help

    Stroll lives in Quebec. He owns a huge house at Tremblant and he is the owner of Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant and of Ferrari of Quebec(dealer).
    His Ferrari collection and McLaren are in Quebec.

    Here is a pic of his dark gray McLaren F1 at le circuit Mont-Tremblant.
    I still haven't seen this car in real life. (He doesn't drive it alot and doesn't bring it to car events.)

    As for the one in Toronto, I keep hearing stories but never seen a pic. I think its not true.

    The user "rayman167" said he saw a McLaren F1 in Markham. He had no camera with him but he's 100% sure it was an F1. I don't know what the color is (some say its grey like Stroll's F1). I would like to know if it had Ontario plates on the car.

    Not that this may mean anything but there is a person that I know (Not personally) who has an interest in over 16 Ontario dealerships. When I used to work for one of his many, many stores I was once told that he had one but it was in Europe (Along with other toys). Don't know if its true but i thought it was a cool story when I heard about it back in 2000.

    I am really curious to know if there is another one. Guys, were gonna have to get on this case and find out!

    Cheers,

    yorkville is a place in downtown toronto where almost every exotic car owner has taken their car to go shopping or just to be "seen". I have pics of Carrera GT's, Enzo's, SLR's and just about every other exotic you can think of.....but none of the F1, maby it will pop up this summer:)!

    It's not necessarily how bad the weather is, but rather the pitiful state of the roads after winter. Ever see some of the potholes up here? You could use them as open graves.

    True, sad but true. I was on the 401 today and two guys 1 minute from each other had to pull off to the side because their front drivers side tire was blown......I BET it was a huge pot hole in that lane.

    It's insane the size of them just like B. has mentionned.

    I asked back where I first heard the rumor, and the guy said it was an orange F1. Cant be an LM car (can it), did they sell non LM cars in the papaya orange color.

    You could have it painted whatever colour you wish. No offense, but I'm doubting this rumour. Feel free to prove me wrong!

    the interior certainly looked gtr-ish, but I dont know much about F1 GTR's. I dont think thats the same color, looks good though
