This is the first time both of my children had watched Tooned.  Mr K is a Formula One fan and has been following Formula One since 2009.  He loves the cartoon a lot as his favourite team is still McLaren even though Lewis Hamilton has left for Mercedes.

Mr K finds the cartoons too short and hopes that they can make a longer show.  They find it very funny and enjoy the insights of McLaren and their drivers.  This is a continuous story about this Scottish man who came to the McLaren Technology Centre where McLaren are celebrating their 50th anniversary.  He presents a hilarious look back over 50 years of McLaren racing over the 8 episodes.  This is definitely a great DVD for any young McLaren fans.

I am delighted to team up with Abbey Home Media to give three of my followers the chance to win a copy of Tooned 50 DVD!  Good luck and enter through Rafflecopter!
