I would love to work for McLaren - perhaps in the future if they find a need for me. 
I'm just an enormous fan of the F1 - I've had a 25 year love affair with supercars and the F1 came along early on in that span of time of course. I've always been a big fan - it is the perfect package in my mind - and about a decade ago I started to focus most of my attention on them in an effort, originally, to find myself with an opportunity to see an F1 road car.
There's a longer story here but in that time period things have risen to a level I never anticipated or planned for and by now I am seriously hooked. I also have literally hundreds of people around the world to thank who have assisted me in gathering every little piece of knowledge I could have never obtained on my own. It has really been a great little diversion and it has afforded me some significantly cool opportunities along the way thanks to some very generous people too.

I don't think he does, but I don't know why they haven't hired him yet!

I don't have a dedicated website for the cars. I was put off from doing that because McLaren had taken legal action against a former attempt several years ago, with that website ultimately going offline.
Presently I think they are a much different company and the idea could be worth revisiting. There is a dedicated forum for the cars that I have moderated since 2003 which has captured the interest of owners and employees alike. I have also assisted a friend from France in developing a Registry for the cars here:

Even without my own online repository, the right individuals within McLaren are already very familiar with who I am and the knowledge and enthusiasm I possess for their brand and their cars. The future looks bright, and I remain hopeful.

We'll get a pretty good idea where this other one should be priced in a couple of weeks. There's another 911 GT1 just like this one set to be auctioned by RM in Monterey. They have set their pre-sale estimate quite a bit lower at $1.25-$1.4M.
1998 Porsche 911 GT1 'Strassenversion' (Street Version)
The one factor for that one is that its cleared the red tape for entry into the USA - depending on the buyer's location that could prove to boost it's final price.
