Nice little vid.

I like his stuff. Looks nice where he is too. I'm glad the videos always include plenty of shots of the location.

Sunny America seems a world away from windy, rainy Northumberland.

Glad he agrees 996 GT3s represent an excellent bang for your buck. They sure do.

Have a pal that moved to LA in '86 and does the same, I guess it helps to "fit in"?
3 days back home and it evaporates.

Agree. I have mates from up here in Newcastle who have lived in London for years and have adopted the accent. Not the cockney geezer one, the well spoken, full pronunciation one. wink

When quizzed on it they say if they spoke with their Geordie accent no one would understand them and they wouldn't get very far in life.
Understandable I suppose. I'd rather just stay up here though. smile

Its such a shame as we have some really rich and interesting local accents.

Although a londoner, from a very young age I got used to dialects. My boss at around age 18 was from the gorbals in glasgow. I still remember a story he told about his brand new Vauxhall Victor that never did better than 12 to the gallon. One night whilst sufferering from food poisoning at around 3am he caught his son siffening petrol from the tank.
My next boss came from Aberdeen. Always carried a wee dram of whiskey.
My wife is hopless with accents. If I watched Rab C Nesbitt she could not understand a word they said. No fun watching a program and then trying to translate.
Always loved the geordie accent. What this has to do with Magnus and the GT3 I have no idea smile Who cares. Too many Vodkas and back t work tomorrow. Wae'aye man

I don't buy into to all this Magnus Walker stuff.

Talk from where you come from, change your jeans and sort your hair out.

I respect his individuality. His freedom of expression and his passion for the 911. Whilst I am not a fan of all his hot rod ideas, like louvred deck lids, frenched rear lights and drilled door handles, it is art. If I was drilling my door handles it would have to be millimetrically perfect. Art is not perfection. It is interpretation. If you want perfection then the Singer would be the weapon of choice.

Oh yes, I respect his individuality no-end. Very clever bloke. I'd love to drive and own the cars.

I just think he sounds and looks a bit of a knob. I'd never change my accent to fit in.

It will be fine living outside Ed. If it were the 930 or the SSE I would be far more concerned. Regardless of all the st around you, you've got to keep a nice toy. Good luck mate smile

Did your accent not change after spending 20years in a foreign country?
