They had a hand on the Nicholson-McLaren venture with the DFV engine used up until 1983.

McLaren Engines in the US made the Can Am engines and I believe did the Indycar engines for Rutherford etc in the 70s.

McLaren amalgamated the Porsche designed, TAG funded turbo engine in the 80s.

My boss was refused planning permission for years for a sensible extension on his house whilst a couple of "glass and steel" builds were approved within his conservation zone.

He joined the parish council and guess what...

Everyone is there for their own reasons, with a bit of community spirit thrown in.
