I’ve found the perfect neighbour. Sat at the table, she beckons me to my seat, sieves through the menu and urges me to pick a dessert.
Juliana Chan seemes like a next-door brunch buddy who would send a turkey your way because she’d mistakenly ordered an extra bird; a neighbour who would honk you out of bed to join her on a joyride – albeit a short one around the block – in a McLaren 720S.
That’s precisely how she spent her weekend, sans the turkey. Our conversation swiftly turns to the supercar, naturally. Me time on the highway aside, Chan spent much of the day ferrying excited family members, along with random car buffs who found their way to the car like bees to honey.
It was a weekend to remember for all involved – the reverence of strangers who gravitated to her gallant steed and the unexpected bonds that formed through an offer of a short ride. Chan understands what it means to them. Growing up, she spent most of her time in her mother’s optical store, so she knew from an early age how the simple act of buying a pair of Guccis can make customers feel. “The one who closes the deal is the one who can make you feel more confident or happy about your decision,” she recalls.
She is well aware of the 720S’s prowess, but to experience it first-hand is another thing altogether: “Most Italian cars are luxury cars with speed; this is like a Formula 1 car with amenities to make it enjoyable. You buy this car because you want performance, I feel. And people respect that.”
