You say you dont know any 'bearded porsche guys out there', well i saved all my life for my porsche spyder and i finally got one at 47. I love nothing better than to break the mould by going out in my spyder as the bearded metalhead that defines who i am, and hopefully change peoples perceptions of these beautiful, amazing cars that are attainable to what i am, with dedication.. a working class man. These are achievable , attainable cars...unlike ferrari and lambos etc. The fender strat of the car world if you will.

I’ve always thought that if I win a lottery, the first thing I’d do is build my own automotive restoration shop. The idea of taking a classic car that’s in rough shape and getting it back to its glory is so appealing to me. I get jealous when I see guys like this who are able to do it. I’d have to hire people to help me through as I know basically NOTHING about how to restore a car properly. I just know it’s my dream !

Ive watched about 10 of Magnus's videos and they only get better and better. I like hearing about his passion for Porsche, in 2014 people are too caught up in technology and celebrity drama to have a passion.. Everyone sort of "likes" everything but loves nothing. I really like when he starts talking about leather working! Im an artist myself in many fashions, you always have to have multiple loves instead of one so you dont wear your mind out.

Magnus is a great role model and an inspiration for many. He’s the definition of success and what can come when you follow your dreams and never let anyone tell you that you can’t make them come true. Whenever I see anything with Magnus and Karen I can’t help but feel sad for him because you can see how much they loved each other. It was very unfortunate that he lost the love of his life at such a young age. Magnus has kept moving forward but I can imagine he misses her every day and would give anything to have her back. I’m sure she’d be proud of him today and where he’s going in life. Each day brings a new adventure and Magnus is the type that loves that about life.

I wish the director delved more into his first experiences and challenges. Still, not bad. Don't ever think that if it wasn't for the woman behind the man Magnus could have come this far. Here is a woman who not only loved him, but pays attention to his joy and enhances it by supporting and believing in him. I think that's where Magnus is the most fortunate. A truly lucky man.
