Just changed my Taskbar clock from CET (where I am) to GMT and the countdown which had got to zero is now 45 minutes
would be interesting to see how many hits mclarens site gets at the moment

So if it does start at 11AM GMT - it doesn't start for another 48 minutes.
Pics are a good hour and 48 minutes away if posted at 12AM

"Images, from the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes MP4-24 launch, will be available from 11am (GMT) on Friday 16th January" says the McLaren site
so it's 12:00 CET,

Is this gonna be another internet launch? ...or will actually have a spin off of the new car in the track?
Link to site?

It's stupid, we're all waiting for this stupid car release, we'll look at a few pictures and say 'cool' then wait for the next release.
We don't even 'get' anything.

We're all waiting hoping these few pictures will be radical and beautiful. When they're not we move onto the next launch date like a plague.

you can always get a tea in this forums while waiting.
Looks fat. (In that photo anyway). I still have 30 seconds to go!
wow, that was quick, still have a minute left on my timer do da
they must have started at 11cet
Sidepods look a little taller than we've seen before, air intake above drivers head looks tiny.
[edit]: maybe 'much taller' was an exageration

It´s just one pic
Besides it doesn´t matter how it looks...it has to be fast
Oh... third online countdown and third server overload :\.
From the VERY little we can see in there, looks shorter and wider (fatter? ..nah), I kinda like it.
From that side it's way too bulky for my liking...
Looks like a spacecraft.

yes i know but look at it, mclaren normally stands for nice design and refined ones, this is tf109 times two, big fat ugly,
no podwings
How many years has it been since a team last had their car number on the rear wing as well?
it's a haug design!
see you at next launch.
see you at next launch.
The exhausts 
interesting exhausts
Inventive cooling vents just before the rear wheels.
Air intake above the cockpit is very small from the looks of it.

Damn, it aint looking that pretty!! I need more pictures
Nice touch putting a shopping basket on the rear wing. Somewhere to keep all Lewis' medals perhaps?

The whole air intake and engine cover is very small
Sadly, It looks pretty ugly, might change my mind when we get the proper photos from the typical angles on white background.
Do we have pics offering more angles?

I think we've got the smallest 2009 car launched thus far.
I can't see it very well, but it seems like the "Santander" above the engine-air-inlet is a little deformed. Could it be an oval inlet, Fw13-style (horizontal dimension wider than vertical)?

sporting the old style mclaren arrows, 2 again and not just one didnt think the car would look anything like this though, bit disappointed with the chunkyness

while ferrari and toyota both have tried to push weight forward making the rear longer, it doesnt seem like mclaren has choosen the same route, and like someone mentioned, the wheelbase seems shorter,
Crazy cooling.
yes ...very short, in fact the ferrari is the only long one so far, toyota and macca going for shorter bulkier designs ...i like the fact of having such different cars on the grid. 
Sidepods don't look as sculpted as the ferrari and toyota.

Oval air intakes? Tip formed nose? Lovely
Why do they show Ron Dennis while informing about server error?
