I reckon Magnus thought that the road would be shut for the interview and test drive. Just caught him out. I like some of what he does and he sure is very passionate about his 911's.

Apart from all the cars coming the other way you mean?

These are legal in UK and the sevens are not far off slicks but you need to drive appropriately to the conditions

How do these have at least 1.6mm throughout a continuous band in the centre 3/4 of the tread and around the entire circumference.
The nearest tire only has tread on 1/3 at best !!

Apparently depends where the sidewall finishes and the tread starts. You do get a letter from Michelin with them to present when you get pulled over to explain they are legal.

What tyres are those? A quick Google didn't help me.

[majordad]

Michelin TB 5 ?

[Yellow491]

Yes tb 5, great tyre and expensive,use them all the time,no other historic tyre to compare with it on a porsche.
As mr barth said on the weekend,may be he got his hair stuck in the steering wheel

The guy owning the SL is on the w113 forum. He said his tyres scratched the pavement. Car is fine.

I've met Magnus a couple of times at events and I must say he's sound as a pound. He is a PH'r at heart and is pushing the boundries so sometimes you loose one to gain many.

Signed my Menu Card at the OGP last Month. Thamks Magnis and keep it uo !

I started following Magnus on Instagram as I was intrigued by his car collections / projects.

Just recently he put a post up showing a couple of panels from the car he crashed - a door and rear quarter panel I believe, with some text about being an outlaw and Porsche parts being interchangeable etc.

The comments section is full of people telling him to auction them off, saying they'd happily bid strong money for a battered old 911 panel that a bearded man owned.

One poster even compared it to how people used to chip off and sell pieces of Jim Morrison's headstone.

The whole thing has left me confused.

[mudy]

Why confused? The parallels between Jim Morrison (one of the most iconic and influential frontmen in rock music history, and, due to the dramatic circumstances surrounding his life and death one of popular culture's most oft-displayed icons; and during his life a living embodiment of the generational gap and youth counter-culture) and Magnus Walker (a man who made some money from selling clothes and then converting old Porsches and marketing himself and his cars with some nice videos) are there for all to see!

[smithyithy]

Simpler than I thought

[ASM993]

well...."people are strange" and these are "strange days" in the old porsche world, mind you he's just lucky the truck didnt "break on through to the other side"...rest assured it wont be "the end"..

i thang yow!

Ronin is unhappy since he found out the boathouse colour is white with red bonnet and blue bumpers....

The jack off almost took out a car in front of me just so that he could say he passed me to his friends..... He's a first class muppet...
Trying to drive a slow car fast on the road is a danger to everyone on the road....Yeah it was a slow GT3 at the time..


Remember muppets you too can drive a crap trap...
