Given that we're going to meet up with Magnus Walker later in the month this little vid is a timely reminder of why he's such a fixture in the Porsche enthusiast landscape.
Turbo Fever: Time For Tea?
We know Magnus Walker has a thing for old Porsches; hear him explain why this now extends to Turbos
And if the last vid in which he featured here on PH tipped a little into 'lifestyle' this one is purely about the cars. And what cars! A demonstration of what a bit of well-funded OCD can achieve, Walker's assembly of pre-intercooler 911 Turbos, each with a fascinating back story, is a hell of a line-up. And it's easy to warm to both his sincere love - and detailed description - of the driving experience and respect for the history and stories embodied in each.
Purists aghast at Walker's free-spirited approach to modifying his 911s can take heart that his Turbos - ride height drops and fatter rubber aside - remain standard. And that his passion for the cars remains as informed and detailed as ever.

Odd in the header photo that of the three nearest the camera, the two with US bumpers have Euro indicator glasses and the one in the middle with Euro bumper has US spec indicators.
I'd love a pre-intercooler 930 if money was no object and I was a better driver, as it is I can only just handle my old 'car-for-life' 3.2.

Where did he make all his money ?? Interesting looking guy.
Clothing first and he also custom mods 911's for people.Watched this using the CNET app on my NowTV box recently. I love Porsche and envy the roads he gets to play on. Nowt like that around here, and the weather is sh*t.
