600LT owner here, not P1. But I think the USB is supposed to be plugged into the car near the center console and used with McLaren track telemetry option so it can record videos of you on the track or driving around doing donuts if you choose. It offers all kinds of stats like throttle position, braking position, timing, etc. You can then plug the usb into your computer and view the videos with McLaren's PC software.
I got a die-cast p1 for $8 from Lowes. The doors open, and the wheels move. Would make a much better gift for your kids. At that price you could probably afford to do one in Salt water.
You absolutely should get a model of your McLaren P1 but in the same state as you found it, with the shattered window, sand everywhere, destroyed wheel, bent body, etc. Of course it should be in box to contain all the sand and branches
If you ever get a (super rare) chance, have a look at a McLaren F1 owners manual as well. If you think the P1 came with a book that impresses the F1 manual will blow your mind. Hagerty has an article on how it was made that will give you an idea of how much effort went in to making it.
Noticed something similar to my 570S owners manual. McLaren likes huge margins and small silver font. My owners manual is just about impossible to read if your over 70 years old. Also, it's twice as thick as it has to be because of the huge margins on each page. It also doesn't help that the paper is very glossy so the small silver/grey font doesn't show up as well as you would hope. You have to wonder why😮
i love that Jack is of all trades...mechanic, youtuber and cameraman....Tavarish go pay your man well haha....i would feel ripped off even if i could afford a P1...plastic toy car that can't even move and just a book...no way worth 6k....btw i think i speak for everyone that we forget that Tavarish has kids when he is a big kid himself haha...i guess you could write off the 6k spending on the accessories and everything else as a business cost...you even got a loan from the bank to pay for the P1...once it runs and cleaned up I am sure you can recoup all your money easily...
The views will go a long way to pay for that car, plus once it runs and is valuated it’s now an asset that will at least have a stable worthiness if not appreciate in value
To make a more realistic diorama, you could place a model tree next to the scale mode of the P1 and encase both in resin, just up the roof line of the car! It would be a perfect recreation of the fateful journey your car has been through.
I wouldn't suggest doing that to a $5000+ scale model though. There are cheaper diecast models of the P1 that he can get for about $200-300 and create a diorama using those
@@benimes9648 yes that would make more sense, although for someone who's just bought a $5000+ scale model, I think he could splurge some more on a model with more accurate casting and tighter panel gaps.
I’ve not been in a P1 but I was lucky to be a passenger in the F1 back in the early ‘90s at the test track in Woking in the UK. The driver was Mclarens chief test driver.
@@iaf_fnd It was. A friend won a competition and we spent the day at McLaren cars/racing so got to to go around the place watching people building the F1. It was like being in an operating theatre as it was spotless. I only live 15 minutes from there so see quite a few of them on the road.
@@benje302 what an incredible opportunity that must have been! The dream for any car enthusiast. I wish I could travel to england for mclaren events like these 😅
@richardharrold9736 The test track was not at their Woking site. It was one that was about 20 minutes away as far as I remember. Not officially theirs but they were allowed to use it.
Hey Freddy, if you decide NOT to spring for the McLaren hood badge, you should make a really nice version of the symbol you showed in the book at 4.48 into the video.
Freddy, I love your sense of humor. If what is happening has not happen. Is no sense in worrying about it. If what has happened is happening. It's too late to worry about it. No matter if you r McLaren is in pieces. It is expensive pieces. It's being repaired. You still are a proud owner of a McLaren P1. And it is still more expensive, than anyone have to include myself. And even your pieces is more expensive then what most can afford. Hold your head up, everything will be alright! God bless.. 😊
I don't know if this is something you would be interested in, but there's a company called Amalgam Models (you may have already heard of them) who can make 1:8 scale models (not a typo, they're massive) in the exact specifcation of your P1, might be something cool to do once it's all finished!
If I remember correctly the USB should have the car's build photos from the factory. Pretty sure they did it for the P1 and all the Sennas. Tim Burton (Shmee150) can tell you for sure.
It's to record track telemetry from the car onto, and can be looked at afterwards with McLarren's track data software afaik. This is why people say it's blank, because it is, until you put track data on it, and open it in the software (other than possibly some special hidden files from McLarren to make it work, that might also show some pictures when opened in the software I'm not sure). ;)
@@eadweard.

A lot of luxury and exotic car companies give you one, I have one from Rolls-Royce... good luck with the P one… I can't wait till you bust out the Bondo on that baby... I think the world needs a P1 with Bondo on it!
Love the fact that you love McLaren. I've been a fan of McLaren F1 since Mr James Hunt won the F1 championship in 76...I was 9. My 13 y.o. son is now a fan too.
Get an AUTOart model in 1/8 scale. It is not diecast, It's composite. it's highly detailed inside and out, Doors open and the rear compartment can be removed to see part of the engine and the rear deck spoiler is black and can pop up, wheels spin and turn. It is not considered a toy though, The price can run for this "adult collectible" from $200 to $350. The yellow one is an exact match to your P1.
Me & a mate were fortunate enough to have a chat with the bloke who ran the McLaren F1 team back in the day whilst he showed us around Senna's 1988 MP4/4 F1 car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed a few years back. The car didn't run on gas, it ran on a mix of Toluene & Xylene. Apparently the '80s turbo F1 engines liked it and they could run much more boost. (Coincidentally, standard two pack paint thinners/reducer is a 50/50% mix of Toluene & Xylene. Not that I've tried in in car I owned) 😉 It's not cheap though. Works out around the same price as Nitromethane.
My guess if it’s anything like rolls Royce, it was pre loaded with information on ordering custom luggage sets. A friend I work with received something very similar along with his Phantom.
I heard that some McLarens come with a track telemetry package, and that you can download track data and video from the car on the track to the USB stick.
Next time you're over in England, visit the Brooklands Motor Museum, there's a Senna Mclaren F1 car there & the staff let my nephew sit in it. And, across the road is Mercedes Benz World with a driving school, skid pan, & a mesuem with loads of Mercs & several F1 cars, including an awesome exploded one suspended on wires. A brilliant day out. Search it on line
Freddy missed a perfect opportunity to throw in a Spongebob reference @6:19 when he said, "...this is a cleaner version than the one we took out." He could've followed "...than we took out" with "...because it lived in a pineapple under the sea for a few of days." The pineapple is in reference to the yellow paint color on Freddy's P1, and the engine lived inside it for those few days underwater.
put the usb into your computer and find out if anything is on it. If it is blank then load up some music and plug it into the infotainment system so you can listen to your music without having to connect your phone, I suppose.
Paint it like a midnight purple but a different color like a dark green or a blue. That way, at night, you can be dark and stealthy, but in the right lighting, you can shift colors.
We hid some Easter eggs throughout P1: there are logos of McLaren's Kiwi on a few systems. One of them is on the electric motor of it. It would be a fun idea if you can find all of those (I've given away one of them away)
Question, Do you know if the former P1's owner is following your progress Freddie. If so do we know what he bought to replace both of his cars he lost.
Hey Freddy, I know it looks yellow but could it be the original Bruce Mclaren orange he did years ago on his racing cars when he had to drop New Zealand Black livery?
How the heck do you keep your lounge area so clean and dust free given how much muck and filth you seem to generate whenever you (and especially Jack with grinding out filler) do anything in your shop?
Some famous TH-camr needs to put pressure on these auction houses for “losing” all the loose parts of cars they auction. In reality it’s the working/owners there stealing the stuff to resell before you’re delivered the car.
I had a Subaru that would take software updates via USB. Maybe the USB stick is for sending off for a software update that can be written to the USB so it can be installed without sending off the car? (I know, I know; Subaru != Mclaren)
oh, i keep saying that i've seen two p1's in my son's school car park (a few years ago now) but i almost forgot. i used to work for electronic arts in their purpose built building on a lake, it had it's own cinema, bar, restaurants and the stair case was used in the film inception. but i was working on formula one 2000 and we had couthard and kimi's f1 cars (display cars) in the foyer, mclaren were our next door neighbour.
I worked for the company who made those key boxes and did some of the design work on it. We used to do all sorts of projects for auto manufacturers when the run was too small for them to take on themselves. (Think picnic boxes and chess boards for Rolls Royce, centre consoles for Bugattis and shiny bits for Spyker).
I was on a McLaren hosted track day at Yas island a few years back in 720s and the McLaren memory sticks were plugged in recording my driving data. Not sure if they are the same, sure look the same,
I have a very important question.... How do you keep a light colored sofa so clean in a working shop????? Every shop I've been in that has something to sit on is covered with grease or some type of stains.

I think you can repair and drive around in your McLaren P1 without ever needing all that stuff ...this is the first and the last time you'll look at those books...the car is enough to put a smile on your face.
What are the chances that those items are actually from YOUR McLaren P1 that got sold/flipped on the internet a couple of times? That would be hilarious! 😂😆 Cheers Brotha 🍻
Freddy, what that USB memory stick is most likely for is so that if you had you McClaren in the shop and were given a loaner McClaren OR if you had all your settings the way you like them, in your McClaren and you ended up getting a different McClaren; what this USB memory stick allows you to do, is to download all your settings onto that USB and then be able to upload your settings to that loaner or new to you McClaren. This way it saves you the time of programing all of your settings into the other car. Mercedes has this feature as well.
I have a question if I may; has the previous owner of the Mclaren reached out to you at all, or you to him? if so can you tell us what was said? I would be very interested to know. All the best, Hamilton

I got a hot wheels P1 for $1, so I could have a fleet of 500000+ for the price of Freddy’s, and they would be just as drivable

The model is probably resin and not die-cast, that's why it can't open since resin models are cast from a single block. Still very cool though.
The flash drive is for the telemetry system, so your track drives can be recorded onto it using the car's built in track telemetry system and cameras.

(Think picnic boxes and chess boards for Rolls Royce, centre consoles for Bugattis and shiny bits for Spyker).
I was on a McLaren hosted track day at Yas island a few years back in 720s and the McLaren memory sticks were plugged in recording my driving data. Not sure if they are the same, sure look the same,
Jack is great mechanic plus good camera man
the usb is supposed to be used to download your track telemetry data. All the cameras and speeds and data
Love to see this, means a lot to you with your dream car, can’t wait to see first startup. 👍😀
"wHaT cOlOr Is YoUr McLaReN" might be the funniest thing i've heard all week! LOLOL
I have a very important question.... How do you keep a light colored sofa so clean in a working shop????? Every shop I've been in that has something to sit on is covered with grease or some type of stains.
Don't give your workers breaks ... ;P
I cannot wait for your really fast flying fish to be driving! Good luck!
THank you SIR,,,not sure if you KNOW your helping but YOU ARE,,,I can barely SEE the CREATor all areound me EVEN thougH IT SEES US all day and night,,,too cool man slide it UNDER THE RADAR sir LOVE IT
Do they laminate the ‘build sheet’ in the package? You can create the diorama of the car floating. Buy a 3D printer, scan and sell models … instant ‘merch’ 👏👏👏👏👏
USBs are for track telemetry systems of the car
Every dude that's into Star Wars knows about having "toys" the kids can't play with.
Quality content my friend been watching you for years! Keep posting videos!. Quality content my friend been watching you for years! Keep posting videos!.
You stalling 2va !! We want videos of work on P1!
You should fill the display model with a blue epoxy resin so it appears underwater!
Usb prolly designed for connecting to the p1 to access the ecu n do whatever ur trynna do
2:48... Navi update or back-up perhaps?^^
For some reason this reminds me of when you bought specific BMW'S with certain add-on packages you got one of the most radical designed longboard skateboard. Many people joked at the time that when your BMW breaks down that's what gets you to your destination. LOL if you throw me like on this comment it will make my day. Freddy leaves a heart or leaves a comment on this will make my entire year.
Regarding the diecast P1, bring Ed Bassmaster over to your house and have him tell the kids they can just LOOK AT IT.
I think you can repair and drive around in your McLaren P1 without ever needing all that stuff ...this is the first and the last time you'll look at those books...the car is enough to put a smile on your face.
what, The most surprising thing to me in this video other than the expensive items. Is the fact Tavarish knows what a gundam is.
Your not going to read the book to us? But uncle Tarvish I want a bed time story.
What are the chances that those items are actually from YOUR McLaren P1 that got sold/flipped on the internet a couple of times? That would be hilarious! 😂😆 Cheers Brotha 🍻
Your P1 came with your own personal beach, priceless.
Isn't the usb for track data?
Love the cheap Harbor Freight products in the background while talking about a 2M car
How fun! Thanks for sharing your excitement with us! Jack cracked me up about the salt water pool. 😂
YOUR flowing this INFO better than MY FOUL mouth can,,THAnk YOUUUUU sir
When the P1 is done you should make a poster of what it looked like before n under it babe what it looks like after you finish it n sell the posters
Freddy, what that USB memory stick is most likely for is so that if you had you McClaren in the shop and were given a loaner McClaren OR if you had all your settings the way you like them, in your McClaren and you ended up getting a different McClaren; what this USB memory stick allows you to do, is to download all your settings onto that USB and then be able to upload your settings to that loaner or new to you McClaren. This way it saves you the time of programing all of your settings into the other car.
Mercedes has this feature as well.
It's for recording track telemetry afaik.
I have a model p1 in wight a 1/24 scale that the doors open and bonnet and the boot.
Great things to have Freddie. Have any idea....for the model in the case. Make it into a little aquarian? Fill with water and maybe a little fish 😆
I have a question if I may; has the previous owner of the Mclaren reached out to you at all, or you to him? if so can you tell us what was said? I would be very interested to know.
All the best,
Hamilton
He did. He laughed at him for buying it. 😂😂
Hamilton...Lewis?
@@kylebutler7142 maybe… 😎
Loving the content, but what happened to the house project videos?
Very cool, thanks for sharing.
You're missing a paint to sample P1 Speedform, love these sorts of things though!
3:48 welcome to everything, everywhere, all at once we ever done :D
Thx for showing me how dirty my monitor screen is. The white really makes it visible LoL
