Seriously - how indeed do you top a night like this?
This evening I was invited to attend the official launching of McLaren Kuala Lumpur - the star attraction being of course the white P1 prototype that was last seen in China. There was also a 12C Can Am there which has been bought by a local Malaysian.

I had a close look around both cars, but of course the bulk of my time was spent drinking in every detail of the P1 and just savoring being in its presence.

Best of all, I got to spend a significant amount of time with McLaren Automotive Head of Design Frank Stephenson Santos sitting in the P1 as he talked me around the car in detail.

Frank was an awesomely nice guy - when I told him who I was, here and on Facebook, he greeted me as an old friend and shared many of his passions, inspirations and opinions on both the P1 and other cars. In addition to the P1 itself, it was how well I was treated as a dedicated McLaren enthusiast that truly made it a night to remember.
Back to that original question - how do you top a night like this? Well, as a McLaren enthusiast.... With a day like tomorrow.
Tomorrow I go back to spend an entire day with the P1. So stay tuned; there's still more to come.

Good night all
A huge shout out of thanks again to my friends at McLaren Kuala Lumpur, the people at McLaren Automotive who permitted the P1 to be shown here, and especially Frank Stephenson Santos for an awesome night to remember!
PS: Frank reads McLarenLife and FerrariChat as a hobby, and laughs often and loudly at the sillier antics and comments we get up to sometimes; he's encouraged me to post more.
