THE SUBTLE ART OF


NOT GIVING A TOSS


ENRIGHT FINALLY FIGURES OUT HOW
TO ENJOY SUPERCAR OWNERSHIP

104 whichcar.com.au/wheels


DON’T THINK I’m a supercar
kind of guy. That might seem an
odd admission given that I’ve
just enjoyed a long-term tenure
with a 570GT, but if I had to
summarise my relationship
with the McLaren it would probably
fall into the ‘complicated’ category. I
never once stopped getting a kick out
of seeing it in my garage. When my
partner wasn’t looking, I’d often leave
the door from the garage to the house
open a nick, just to catch a glimpse of
that sickle-shaped headlight as I walked
between my bedroom and the kitchen.
The 570GT was always a riot to
drive, too. There’s something extremely
life-affirming about waking up and
realising that you’re going to be punting
a carbon-tubbed missile with 280kW/
tonne up some amazing country roads
