I've never seen one in person before. Not that I can recall consciously.

I want to go to the auto show here. We're expecting an MC12 and maybe the new Vanquish S, but the SLR is not likely.

I live in Chicago, I've seen 3 of them "up close". Including Michael Jordan's, pretty beat up paint, but I was wondering if the McLarens are convertibles. I think they aren't, and are they going to ever make one? Nice car/engine/trans. but it seems its practicality would greatly improve if it were a convertible.
Oh and red interiors are nuts on these, and really odd and on the CLS(Makes the wood almost unnoticeable).

C63 AMG (stock right now), Beach Cruiser (debadged), Piper Cherokee 280 (too much to mention)
I saw one this morning at Blue Wave Car wash on Santa Monica Bvd

For some reason, the owner was standing behind the cleaner and he was looking VERY nervous!!

Not a convertible. That would add too much weight to the already heavy body, but it does sound like a good idea.

I've seen 3 on the dealership floor, another two cars ahead of me, waiting to be serviced, and two driving on the road.

Although that doesn't mean there are 6 around here...
