hope your sponsors realise that everyone skips the video and no one watches the advert. I pay for no ads then get bombarded with crappy embeded ads.
It’s beautiful 🏴
@@thewalrus1968 let the homie get paid. It costs you nothing to skip the ad.
other mclarens have active aero they dont cost a million 765LT and down. and also not necessarily air brake but active aero is on a lot of porsches and Lamborghini has the ALA active aero. technically ford gt if picked you can get for 600k has air brake and active aero. oh and those Chrysler crossfire has active aero and spoiler. so a bunch of cars under a million that have active aero including a used high mile veyron and CGT
So I wonder what you got Alex because I just watched Tyler’s video and you guys are sort of crowded around that CTSV wagon🤔🤌🤌🤌
I'll just go ahead and officially address this here since the comments are already rolling in about car TH-camrs who buy supercars. No, I'm not a supercar only channel now. My next few videos are on my Grand National, DSM builds, my $4,000, 200,000 mile Chevy Van, etc. I like a little bit of everything and fixing a broken supercar has always been on my list. So the channel is still the same, I won't be doing supercar rally videos or videos where I visit my friends house who just bought a new supercar so we can rev it and talk the entire time. I will always buy broken cool cars and have a blast bringing them back to life. Hope you guys enjoy the McLaren series and can't wait to show you the next video!
😆
I saw the need for this statement galloping over the horizon as soon as the video dropped.
I enjoy seeing both. Supercars & normal ones! Congrats on the McLaren, well deserved!
I really hope so Alex.
Because all the TH-camrs „buying“ broken Supercars are a shame to watch.
No one with taste gives a shit about a Lamborghini, McLaren etc.
I think we all love your channel because of the older cars, the special ones who have a history to tell and character.
Keep up the good work and please with Legit street cars - like your slogan.
So we aren’t gonna end up with Legit Driven Exotics or Daily Driven Street Cars? 😂 DONT LET THE HATERS BUG YOU. We love CARS. When you start doing investment banking (SALOMONDRIN) and watches is when I tune out 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Those channels are just a reflection of where the car scene is at right now. (Back in the 90's) We used to meet up, and then go drive. Now car guys meet up and then either stand around talking or do stupid s*** in parking lots. I don't go to many car meets any more.
It would be my personal opinion that anyone who is concerned about Alex being a supercar channel after this video obviously has not seen any of his previous video's and his love for the GN, turbo T/A, etc, etc. Personally I am excited to see what Alex does with a Supercar as it just adds to the channel.
Thanks Riley. I have this sitting next to my GN and I've driven the GN much more
@@barnett25 Its mostly just sour grapes people that are pretty insecure. Trouble is, there are quite a few of those people.
@@barnett25 People who complain about other people's decisions are usually the ones who just hate themselves and hate when anybody does anything better than what they're capable of.
@@LegitStreetCars That is great! I am pretty honored to have you reply to my comment. Your excitement and obvious passion for what you do is easily evident in your channel and I'm not sure why people would ignore that so they can make their negative comments. Thank you for the great videos!
It's the content, good vibes, the journeys, and laughs that keep the TRUE Legit Street Fans coming back to the channel to watch the videos. I think I speak for the majority of us when I say, we don't care what cars you bring to the channel... We'll be here to watch, like, and share the videos as long as you keep em coming. Besides, if people think you're going to only be featuring supercars they obviously aren't legitimate Legit Street Cars Fans. Much love Alex, Peter, and Max!
Thanks Andrew!
Totally agree!
1st and only guy to compare his McLaren to his Tesla lol 😆😂🤣
My only frustration with this channel is I have to wait for each upload. Love the content, love the camaraderie, but most of all, enjoying the ride!
Congratulations Alex! Super Jealous.
I challenge Alex/Sam to fix any car with rice.
You are a different breed Uncle Rich.
Everyone watching those Hellcat episodes
No you're not. Not really Richie. 😏
@@M1LAD81 Especially since it needed Tesla parts to fix the doors. :D
@@xkavarsmith9322 🤣
As far as i am concerned, i don't care what car you get or work on, i come here for you and Peter, especially the drive it home adventures!
Omg so many likes!
More likes than uncle rich got!
This right here. They could fix freaking lawn mowers and I would watch.
Straight facts, bro.
💯 AGREED!!!
Same‼️‼️ I love seeing them drive it home😂
And Max!
I honestly like how you told the price you paid for the car. A lot of people on these kinda shows keep it a secret you literally told us everything which I appreciate.
When John sold that car, I was thinking, GOOD FOR HIM, he got rid of that janky car. I didn't know it went to you. BUT, I know if anyone can fix it's issues, it is YOU. You got this. I love the channel and what you do! You need to schedule another meet and greet this spring. I think he should have included the Autel in the sale.
@@hardup9809 It's because they actually do suck. Mclaren hates their customers.
Looks like the Hooptie pipeline from Wichita to Chicago is still going strong! - Best of luck Alex - I suspect you'll need it !
😂😂
Next we'll see Alex riding 100PercentJakes E-Scooter 600 miles to Chicago 🙂
hoopties and kansas go together like PBJ!
The birth of Sooptiecar content!
Who owned this? This isn't the ICT Billet McLaren... Is this the dude that owns the vinyl company here? I think he has or had a McLaren and a GTR and who knows what else
Amazing how quick you made it from Kansas to Mexico... that just shows you how fast that McLaren really is!
Congrats on your McLaren purchase... Personally, I just love watching you tackle (and conquer) supposed super cars such as AMG Mercedes and now a McLaren... You appear to have the ability to sort out problems with these cars... Keep up the good work!!
You are killing it on content. This channel has shot to the top of my list with the GNx, the talon and now the broken Mclaren. Such good content.
You will also want to replace every coolant hose clamp. Do not use the OEM ones. Thorney motorsports sells a kit.
Good to know
I'm gonna watch LSC if you guys start working on dump trucks. I love the channel and the atmosphere, AND peter
Thanks!
i love peter
@@LegitStreetCars need to see your friend more
everyone loves the Happy Beard!
Good idea. Please hot rod a dump truck like a crazy Russian/easter bloc man. Spin donuts in parking lots and freight train fuckers on the highway with it.
It's so awesome to see you doing things that make you happy. I'll effing watch you fix a 92 Pontiac Grand Am SE or a Gumpert Apollo, or a pontoon boat as long as I learn something, which I always do, and as long as you geek out about it. You do you homie, we're all here for it.
Growing up I was never into supercars, but man the MP4-12C immediately grabbed my attention the first time I saw it as a concept. Since then it's been my only dream car, and I've become such a nerd about it I've memorized the reasoning for naming scheme. M = Mclaren, P4 = Project 4, 12 = Mclaren international performance index, C = carbon. Best of luck on the project!
You have the ESG, external sound generator delete. There is a block off plate on the side of the intake. The ESG pipes intake noise into the cabin. There is a bladder in it that fails. Most just install the block off plate and delete the ESG.
Hey Alex just to let you know we will still watch your videos even if you're working on the old pt cruiser
Thanks brother. Appreciate that!
A what? PT C..... can't swear sorry lol
Did they supercharge the PT cruiser? Sounds like a fun show.
Is there a new PT Cruiser? J/J, what Ameer said
Oh good, a supercar video! Never seen one before, can't wait. /s
Congrats man, this is huge, very happy for you. Very much looking forward to future videos on fixing this car, hardly any photos or videos out there of a 12C being taken apart.
"This is the end. No more Legit Street Cars, just another TH-camr buying some flashy piece of overpriced metal."
This is the same comment someone left me when I bought this same car, and I never even posted a video on it 😂
You should have posted a video on it. I would be interested in your comparison of it and the r8, from a daily driver point of view
you're a hack!!
I don’t care what you buy Sam, I watch for your step mom cameos
Why did they write about Legit Street Cars on your video tho....🤔
Haha, people have too much time to share ignorance.
Drove a 12C at a track day a few years back. Absolute rocket ship. Made the LP560-4 I also drove feel slow by comparison. Enjoy, Alex!
Did it manage to get around the track without anything breaking? 😀
Ha ha @@Beer_Dad1975 😁
Despite some questionable driving on my part, it held up well!
I don’t care what kind of car(s) you get as long as you work on them. All in Alex!! Beautiful looking car, can’t wait for the fixes!!
Maybe someday you’ll remember to pick up some octane booster and heet before leaving town in these high compression engines LOL
Your on the way to a million, keep it going. Bring back Grand National
This is my *FEASIBLE* dream car. Absolutely loves the looks and sounds of these.
Seeing Peter light up when you got home -priceless. I am not a supercar guy, but can't wait to see supercar rescue and rebirth LSC style. Hiliarious that a car this pricey can be that quirky and random, unless I paid $250k new, then not so hilarious. 😉🤔 Great to see John on this trip. He does some fun stuff on his channel. Nice flashbacks to the CL65 trip, my intro to LSC.
Congratulations🎉Alex can't wait to see how you and Peter work on this car and wonder what will Peter's have to say about it always makes me happy when i see the smiles on yall faces working on a new project.....
Being a British man who loves your channel
This is great to see 💪
Based on the engine sound, it sounds like the OEM foam that lines the air filter boxes has been removed. You will want to check them. The foam breaks down and clogs the air filters.
How do you know so much about this car?
@@skeleton1337 he saw the tavarish video
@skeleton1337 I own a 650S with 25K miles , do all my own maintenance. Lots of research and learning. Happy to share my knowledge about these amazing cars.
Awesome seeing you guys back together I hope we get more the knowledge between the 4 of you guys at your ages is amazing thanks for the content
Man you just gotta love Peter he makes the channel so much better, by the way congratulations on your new purchase, keep up the good work 💪🏻
NICE RIDE ALEX MY FAVOURITE 😻
Oh shipe. I agree
This is rad and lets be honest this is still an "attainable" dream car in some sense because its age and condition so not like you're suddenly the "BUYING A NEW FERRARI CASH *EMOTIONAL" channel. Very much look forward to seeing you wrench on it and the other cars in the fleet.
I love the variety you have in your car collection. This isn't the car I was expecting but I don't hate it. Looks insanely fun!
I’m so excited to see you working on the mclaren, let alone your other projects that are started also! Absolutely love this channel and all yours and peters work and chemistry! Always look forward to the uploads!!
I absolutely love this channel. The variety of cars makes it even better. What a time to be a car guy (or gal)!
🏁🏁Woah Alex variety is the spice of life …a Grand National …Mclaren …PPV …E55… DSM on the same channel…excellent content brother keep the videos coming 😎🤙🏾
With all those cool positive vibes the three of you got going on, I'll keep watching no matter what cars you'll be working on.
@LSC Peter hey peter
The channel will never be the same again after this purchase his humble beginnings have come to an end that was my main reason for watching humble and worked on normal cars ✌️👋
So YOU were the one that bought John Ross's car!!?? Awesome! I met JR at Ninja's shop a couple years ago... great guy.
Even though I watch all the way from a small nordic country in Europe🇩🇰, I couldn't care less what car you buy and fix/mod. I personally drive a 2013 RS6, so I would love to see some (for you RS7) content in the future!
Joke aside - it REALLY is not about what kind of car you guys bring on the channel. It can be broken up into a couple of short sentences
1. Knowledge (you guys share alot of knowledge. I'm a diesel mechanic at 25 years of age, but I have still learnt tons of new things from watching your channel).
2. Entertaining. (Just grade A stuff really)
3. Humor. - needs no explanation.
4. Down to earth. (It doesn't matter if it's a 4000 dollar workvan or a 300k supercar. Cool cars are cool cars)
I hope I can help shut down all the nay-sayers that forced you to make a statement.
Cheers from Denmark 😄🇩🇰
Look at BIG TIME LSC! Getting into the Supercars...
Congratulations on your purchase hope you get many pulls of enjoyment out of it! Love ALL your content!
I love that you checked for cupholders first 😂
I don’t care what you are doing, it’s just fun to watch!
I will watch no matter what! Thanks for the fun.
I love watching you and Peter, you guy’s always have fun 😅❤😊
My favorite part of your videos is watching your troubleshooting process. This one should be a blast.
I couldnt normally care less about supercars, but I'm hyped to see what you do with this. The exhaust and turbos sound AMAZING.
I love this channel and the format and the way you present and explain while fixing issues. I have learnt alot. And you and peter are such a great team. I dont care what cars you buy and work on. Its your channel and your dreams. Keep up the awesome work and entertaining channel.
Love seeing the mix of both super cars and other performance or “mundane” to most people cars. Because super cars are indeed legit street cars too. Enjoying the content very much!
That's a badass ride! Love the different cars you buy and fix up! Keep the best car videos on TH-cam coming man, your content is always top notch and you give us some real deal information. 💪🏽💪🏽
Congratulations Alex!!! You deserve it my friend 🫠
Alex , I have been watching your channel for couple of years now. Firstly you are one of the genuine ones out there, have learnt to fix bunch of stuff on cars through your video's. Would love to meet you, I live in NW Suburbs. Any plans of meet and greet or something of that sort?
Brilliant to see you doing well, Alex. Your sub numbers are great, but that car will take you to the next level Really well done!
What a fun episode! Back when there were full service gas stations they would usually turn the pump nozzle upside down when removing to keep from spillage, try it works every time!
I am not a super car fan but excited to see what comes of this repair. Congrats on your fixer upper. Great price 👍
Well, after watching this video I can say I have no desire to own one. Best of luck to you with it, I am sure you will come out on top!!
I was wondering what John did with the McCracken. This collab is always fun.
The variety of vehicles on your channel is one of the best parts about LSC. Great video as always!!
Great video! Looking forward to seeing upcoming content on this cool ride! Thanks man!
Hell yeah Alex! This is super cool. You deserve this for sure. Really love the channel and appreciate the content.
Congratulations on the first super car! I’m excited to see where this goes.
Please never ever change the essence of the channel. You are the best!
Peter is a great dude. Just a happy camper that fella
Hell yeah Alex!! If you were to buy any exotic...sure glad you picked a McLaren!! My favorite for sure! Can't wait to see all the fix/upgrade video's that you will put out!! Sweeeeet!!
Great purchase! Looking forward to see you guys get this to immaculate shape :D
I love seeing my two favorite TH-cam channels in the same video. You guys rock!
Congrats Alex on your new purchase. Buying from JR you know you’re not getting ripped off. Love his channel too. I would love to see you make it your daily driver. Cars like that are meant to be driven hard. Not sit in a F-ING garage only to come out on a perfect weather condition day once or twice a year. Can’t stand that. I know it’s not going to be your channel priority because that’s not you and you and Peter have a lot going on but I can’t wait to see you get it dialed back in again and tear it down the track I hope 🤞. Let your wife drive it and show her reaction 🤣👍Good luck brother with it!!!
It is what it is Alex. Don't let the haters get you down. I frankly think the best videos were when you "retired" from the IAM job at CPD to live and work your dream. You are VERY fortunate to have a supportive wife, and a shop partner like Peter (and Max). I'd love to see a few videos about how you got to where you are and where you came from. Congratulations Alex. Enjoy. Perhaps a meet up this spring? I'm in the area.
Yes Mike, laughing I can’t ways that you step up to the big league. You’re the best mechanic I ever see I always watch the shining. I learn a lot from you. Keep it up bro I am from Philadelphia
As a car enthusiast I can find something to like about almost every car…I have no desire to own a McLaren but it’s nice seeing you discover and enjoy it…I’m sure you will get some great content out of it and improve it before sending it down the road. Personally I’m looking forward to seeing the CTSV Wagon or more Caprice PPV content.
7:44 I love a good transition to an AD. Uncle Rich is facing a new challenger in that arena.
Wow. Great job guys. You should do a legit cars spinoff- roadside assistance with John. Excellent pacing, informative....and the car's cool too👈
Absolutely love the content! Love the car. One thing McLaren's are notorious for is breaking alot but I think you guys can handle fixing it. This could be the most interesting series yet!
I have heard that as well. However, I've had 2 friends who have owned them, and they have not had problems. We drove one a 120 miles away to a track day, beat the piss out of it, and drove it home. No problems. Something tells me they are having some consistency issues more than anything. If you get a good one, you're lucky great enjoy it, If you get one that's built on a Monday, well, good luck. As amazing as those cars are when they are working, I personally wouldn't roll dice. It's perfect for Alex since he can fix it.
When money is no object. As the saying goes, if you have to ask, you can't afford it.
Excited to see the next video , and see what you guys figure out !
Even though there was no codes or sign of performance loss, I'm suspecting a soon to be clogged fuel filter is causing all of the codes, and not just poor fuel Quality.
My two favorite TH-cam automotive creators! Alex, I’m surprised you haven’t seen McLarens around Chicago. I lived not far from Chicago for 15 years and saw a handful of them through the years. Congratulations on being a McLaren owner!
Would be very cool to see to see LSC completely sort and mint this car back out; if it's even possible with all the codes haha. Awesome!
You never fail to make people dream Alex. Thank you for always providing such top notch entertainment.
Dudes got a great Chicago vibe
Congratulations Alex you deserve everything you buy mate keep up the good work
Love this car, I agree they are at a sweet spot now, would love to pick one up but there is not a person I've found within a few hours of me that will service it, so a non-starter for me. Wish I had your skills Alex. Love living vicariously through you right now. Thanks for the great content.
Well, if you decide that 615hp isn't enough, the Evo Motorsports MP4-12C turbo upgrade is an awesome route to have a good jump in power while spooling a little better than those stock turbos.
It'll be interesting to see the fix and modding progression on this car alongside the DSMs.
i would love one day to be able to buy a nice car and drive it home like 600+ miles with a buddy/friend. Looks like you guys had a good time!!
Just something to consider on the fuel pressure code. Check the filter because if it’s plugged it causes the pump to work above the desired duty cycle
I enjoyed seeing just how nervous you were when you first started driving lol, not a knock on you at all but simply that you could have kept that out. I started watching you for your honest love of cats and the way you interact with your viewers, and Peter, I enjoy your back and forth.
As long as the LSC concept stays the same it doesn’t matter what you get. But nice pickup definitely looking forward to more videos.
I fucking love this channel its content everything. Alex, Peter and Max i just look forward to every video
Love the variety of the vehicles on your channel. Keep it up!
Alex and Peter are great. Love seeing TH-cam car guys collaborate
Always produces excellent videos everytime. Great work, guys
Excellent stuff, I'm looking forward to a DIY maintenance approach to McLaren ownership. They're infamously not DIY-friendly, and you and Peter are the perfect team to figure these things out!
I love the variety of cars you tackle and restore . Excellent channel great personality
Congratulations on your purchase of the McLaren.Must be an amazing feeling to own it.Very excited for you. Will look forward to your future videos.
You should take a fuel octane test kit with you on your next trip to make sure you get the right stuff!
Congrats on the McLaren purchase 🎉
Loved the video like usual.
Congrats Alex! I don't care what you buy, as long as it's broken :)
Meanwhile, someone was yanking hard on that steering wheel for it to look like that! 64,000 track miles? :P
A matte maclaren on black wheels and slightly broken. You've done it Alez, you're officially TH-cam royalty now. Congratulations dude!
Stoked on this series and unexpected adventures with this car!
Wonder if JR had it in winter mode when he was trying to get up his driveway 😂
Noooooooooo ! Alex . You know better buddy. Headache on wheels 😮
Constantly waiting for the next moneylight to come on . As a big fan on
LSC . I enjoy the more attainable vehicles so we can all learn stuff .
It wont be much worse than the CL65 to fix, I dont think... Its all relative. Then again, it will probably break faster than the CL65 when fixed but.... Eh, its gonna be a cool journey.
@@GoldenCroc , lol so true. Sadly. Don’t get me wrong excited for them .
But the fun really wares off after they crap out .
Great seeing you take on the project from John Ross. Can't wait to see what you do on it!!
I would be too nervous driving anything that complex or expensive, and I can't wait to see you tackle the issues!
