We've got liftoff...on a rebuilt and highly modified McLaren P1.

I've been following this saga for two years or so. Tavarish bought an almost new Mclaren P1 that had been submerged in a flood. So he got it, cheap. Could he make it run? That's what he's been doing for the last two years. In between doing this that and the other and living his life, he and his buddies have been working on this car. In the process they've decided to do more than bring it back to life, like brand new. No, that's not enough. They've decided to modify it so that it's better than new.

Anyhow, this is the first time they try to start the engine. And, it works! (c. 40:00) Look at the smoke streaming out! There's a bit more work to do. Just tinkering. Basically, the corner has been turned. Hear the engine roar. (c. 47:14) Joy breaks out (c. 50:29).

What will happen next? I don't know. Note that this video is four months old, so whatever is next, it's been happening for a few months now.
