That rust colour really suits the McLaren MP4-12C.
But why did McLaren give the car a model name that makes it sound like a photocopier? :)
997.1 C2S GT Silver/Cocoa, -20mm/LSD, PSE, short shifter, SportDesign rims, Zuffenhausen pickup, BMW Z4 2.5i Roadster Sterling Grey/Red
Heist:
Haven't sat though it all, but so far I saw Jay Leno in a blue Bugatti classic, Audi Prototype/Show Car, McLaren MP4-12C, Ferrari 599, Porsche Spyder, Ariel Atom ...
Is this the famous Mullholland drive?

"Form follows function"
Over-rated road if there ever was one imo. The 2 roads near it are way more enjoyable and much safer, Laurel Canyon Blvd and Sunset Blvd. are both faster with much better turns.
The dog on the bike was cool and the car that looks most appropriate for that road was the old porsche speedsters. Too many Idiots crossing the double yellows on that road.

Yes.
The turn where the photographer is set-up is a nasty hairpin known for "action."
The outside lane is off camber but doesn't look it. It ends up catching a lot of drivers and motorcyclist off guard when they get back on the throttle at the wrong time or when they start their braking and lean in too late.

He went over the yellow line... police keep a close eye on it, since the stupidity is high on that road.. drivers really do not need to cross the middle line doing 50km/h through those turns. They do it because the result is many motorcycle deaths and whatnot. Must be a big gong show going down that road

Ah, I see, thanks for clearing this up, Aaron.
Others were doing the same, but they didn't drive a flashy-blue Murciélago.
The secret of life is to admire without desiring.

Angeles Crest and Angeles Forest highways are both better than anywhere else I've tried.
But, ........ BE CAREFUL:

What is that W8MM?
That's an RX-7 that went Tango Uniform on the canyon floor.
No guard rails along Angeles Forest Highway
