2 5 0 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I other drivers who’d been flashing their lights, waving and taking photographs as we passed! In all, we’d had a truly amazing time in one of the finest cars it’s ever been our pleasure to drive. And to cap it all, when we arrived back at the hotel, we found that our wonderful hosts, Wayne Bruce, Global Communications Director, and the sincerely lovely Victoria Macmillan Bell, Luxury Communications Manager at McLaren Automotive Limited, had arranged a spa and massage for Jordana and myself! What a perfect way to relax after such an exhilarating (and accelerating!) day. After that, we were in just the right frame of mind to enjoy our Japanese, pan- Asian style dinner, perfectly prepared and beautifully served at the Finca Cortesin’s Kabuki Raw Restaurant. After another night’s perfect sleep in the charming room that had felt like a home from home to us, we decided to make the most of our last day with the 650S by driving to Puerto Banus for lunch at one of our absolute favourite haunts, Arestusa, a delightfully authentic Italian restaurant perfectly located on the port. Looking out from our table, though, it seemed that the people swarming around the 650S were enjoying the lunchtime just as much as we were! In short, we really couldn’t have asked for more. A wonderful flight, unequalled hospitality from the most charming hosts imaginable, the welcome of one of the world’s finest hotels, and time behind thewheel of theMcLaren 650S.Undoubtedly one of the most spectacular, most rewarding cars that money can buy. Our sincerest thanks to all concerned. Arnie and Jordana
