I watched this mans mini-doc on a website last night while chillin in my lab, quite possibly one of the most awesome videos I've seen in quite some time. Magnus Walker, you are badass and have definitely added "bonus" fuel (pun intended) to my burning Mazda RX7 passion. I respect you as a Porsche purist and am pleased to know you smash the streets of DTLA/Los Angeles ANYTIME your heart desires.
Below is the bio on his blog (found here), I'll post "the" video some other time:
"My love affair with PORSCHE began as a 10 year old kid, and a trip to the
1977 LONDON motor show.
That is where I laid my eyes upon a 77-930
Martini TURBO!
As a kid growing up in SHEFFIELD-ENGLAND Porches were not a
common sight. Sure I had the TURBO poster on my wall, lusted after one, and even
wrote a letter to the Porsche factory!
Hey... They even wrote
back!
Saying words to the affect "give us a call back when you are
older".
Fast forward a few years, and in 1986 at the age of 19 I moved
to
America and started a new life in LOS ANGELES..
At the age of 25 in
1992 I acquired my first 911,
now almost 20 years later and over 40 -911 cars
later I am living my PORSCHE dream.
I have done some club racing and
instructing with the POC throughout the past 10 years.
Over the past few
years I have been expanding my 64-73 early car collection and have been building
quite a few "sports purpose" R -ST inspired streetable track type
cars.
My builds are starting to gain world wide attention,
and a few
unique touches such as my grafted R turn signals, louvered deck lids, drilled
door handles and attention to detail to name a few are becoming my "signature
marks".
This blog is a slight peak into my daily life
THANKS FOR
FOR FOLLOWING ALONG!!
CHEERS,
Magnus"
