I saw the McLaren this morning also (no pics).

I liked it... but it's no 458.

And thank goodness for that!

I took about 150 photos this morning - will have them all up on Flickr this evening.

There was even an F1 that showed up - albeit very briefly.

Sorry for the delay with my pics - I had a busy afternoon with my nephew's birthday party once I got back from Irvine.

Only one of my F1 photos turned out halfway decent, so here's that one.



When I learned that McLaren weren't bringing one, I figured I would fill the void.

Apologies if it was not quite what you were hoping for.

I took almost 150 pics - some duplicates - of the 12C and its bare chassis. You'll find them all in my Flickr Gallery by clicking on this photo:



It was great to finally see the car in person. I was a little iffy on it from the initial studio shots released back in September 2009, but 'in the metal' it is a sharp looking car with a lot of presence. It's not wild like some prefer their supercars to be but I think that suits McLaren's style, that the design will age well and it is a good building block for future products while still carrying over a few elements from McLaren's past. The people who are lucky enough to put their names on the list for this car should have no regrets.

The black 599 GTO stole the show, imo.

All you fags were there and didn't even say hello??

I am impossible to miss too. I am hurt.

The MP4-12C was cool. It was a great day. I will be posting my pics tomorrow.

Here's a teaser.

I am in the back ground of about half your pictures.

Why didn't you say hello??
