    Hat's off, that rocks. I love the fact that he a) drives cars not related to his employer like this McLaren/BMW and his Ferrari's and b) Mercedes let him. Can you imagine back in his McLaren days if he'd rocked up in a Ferrari, Ron would have had a seizure.

    The Chassis No. of his F1 is coincidentally 044! (i.e. his Race No. is 44).

    I didn't know that. Hat's of to Ferrari for making / allowing that to happen. Respect is shown by both sides there.

    I’m speaking about his McLaren F1 road car being Chassis No. 044.

    Apparently the passengers were his Step Mom and Dad and yes this is chassis #44 sold at Bonhams in 2017 for a little over $15 million. Pretty cool stuff.

    Each state has their own rules on 1 or 2 license plates.

    Lack of front plate. One of the very, very, many reasons, although admittedly a small one, why I'm an Ex Pat Brit living here. ;)

    I think you need front plate in Cali, now. However, it is probably a fix-it ticket, or maybe a $100 fine.

    Mika Hakkinen owned a 360, a Testarossa and an F-50 when he was driving for Ron Dennis.
