[@Codename73]

People don't get Magnus. He's into his Porsche's, period. He doesn't compete, he's into the car and has his own world. I really respect him for that. Do your own thing. Forget the rest.

[@BeardedForever]

Well, he did compete before he started collecting.

[@Codename73]

Of course, but that's not my meaning at all. He's not into whipping out his virtual penis to prove to people he has a better Porsche than you. If he was like this, he'd be driving the newest of the new Porsches and modifying them to 1000 HP. That's not his scene.

[@dingodog7095]

I totally agree with you. He's an individual, not a follower. That has to be respected.

[@Montiman0]

I mean the least he can do is keep these cars running after the net loss he created with hot topic and the resulting overweight emo girls with 70 piercings

[@nycbit7386]

many would say that high levels of creative productivity aren't possible for the "ego competitive". magnus demonstrates this.

[@-MacCat-]

From what I've read he sold felt hats down at Venice Beach in the early 90's, has been described as a "clothing entrepreneur" which probably means "making a bundle of $'s reselling the right bits of old clothing, jeans designer as well renovating/restoring older buildings. Finally, he seems to be doing quite well doing 911's for a living - "Magnus Walker’s 1972 Porsche 911 STR II has sold at the annual Pebble Beach auction for $302,500, over double its original estimate of $150,000."

[@PaulinhoThompson]

Brilliant, thanks :D

[@HungHa-fo2rz]

My dream is to own a warehouse, and fill it with my cars.

[@312inoutme]

I came for the cars stayed for the story.

[@daveyamudda]

Good stuff- I want one!!

[@viriatvsoflvsitania5422]

I still remember when 930's were 40 to 60k (euro) just a couple of years ago... then Magnus became known with all these videos. Look at the price of them now, 90 to 120 and going upwards. Coincidence? I think not

[@jeffreyvanderpost9851]

They've gone up in price because people like him fuck these cars up. making a original one more expensive because there arn't many left.

[@sajabz2007]

Xcar.. Yes Drive+.. No Great video!

[@RedsReptiles]

So weird I'm close friends with magnus brother. :)

[@Mustbcedric]

I wanna be this guy but with fiesta st's ..... Anybody think he's bald under those hats

[@christosswc]

I don't care about 918s, Ferraris, and Bugattis, if I could ever just have one of these older Porsches and take them down the road. Just drive.

[@dlhussain81]

Blasphemy!!! 918 is immense, i would have that over every other car

[@tintan1235]

+dlhussain81 918 turbo

[@dlhussain81]

Shawn Givan that doesn't exist

[@Brunomills]

the blue colour with golden wheels is definitely the sexiest!

[@jm0489]

•BFM Productions• that green one was gorgeous too

[@alexanderswander8176]

The mint green 930 is 👌perfection. I wish I could drive one some day.

[@brachimouri]

I think it's ice green metallic 👍🤤

[@vr4everandever61]

Magnus Walker is living the dream! I'm so impressed and amazed at what he (and his wife) has accomplished in terms of his business success and the commitment he possesses to collecting these Porsches and restoring and racing them. He is undoubtedly and unmistakably the most intense Porsche 911 fan I've ever run seen. Magnus, if by any chance you read this; keep up the phenomenal work and please continue following your dream! You are truly an inspiration to your fellow Porschephiles the world over. Your love and dedication to these cars is nothing short of visionary. We love you buddy, keep making us proud!

[@ivicamanovic]

I own the identical car the silver 3 liter turbo 930. I LOVE IT 1976. My engine is out, I have a 500HP 3.4 liter motor. The 3 liter I still own. Greetings from Australia

[@gixxerboy22]

how long have you had it and how much did you pay for it if you dont mind me asking.. ? :) thanks and godbless.. ive been a huuuge 911 fan ever since i first saw the first bad boys movie when i was young! ..!

[@ivicamanovic]

gixxerboy22 Hello Friend how are you, I have owned my Porsche for 18 years. I paid $46.000 Aussie dollars, now I am getting offers over triple the money more. But I refuse to sell itbecause I know as soon as I hand the keys over, I WILL REGRET IT BIG TIME. Greetings from Australia

[@ivicamanovic]

gixxerboy22 Hello friend I must say I felt so proud buying that car no fianance, paid cash and drove it home at age 27. I keeped getting pulled over bye the Police as they thought the car was stolen or I shouldn't be in it. The Police officer always used to say how did you manage to own a car like this. I reply, bloody hard work. It has new triple stitch interior, 5 speed gear box, engine, big money spend on this 930. Greetings from Australia

[@gixxerboy22]

Ivica Manovic thank you for responding. i would love to talk more. plz message me on kik : anthonymiller2 or my facebook : [e-mail] thanks and godbless :)

[@gixxerboy22]

Ivica Manovic if you message me on facebook make sure u send a friend request or else i wont be able to respond lol

[@InfernoZX5]

I love his passion for Porsche. Hella cool dude.

[@herpdadurrp]

wow, he seems like a really awesome guy. his black turbo looks the sexiest!

[@iansherman7964]

So... why the hell am I JUST hearing about XCAR? Fuck, I feel left out.

[@worldtravel101]

you aren't alone. be glad you were a month ahead of me lol

[@StreetDrivenDaily]

I own 03 996TT, and love older Porsches, This video is probably one of my fav by Magnus, Funny thing is when he mentioned about posters on the wall. Because I have one of 996TT on the wall from autoshow in my garage--- back in 2001 - I told my self that the day will come and I WILL own one, now i have one and same poster on the wall - Every time I pop garage door open , I smile.

[@LiveByBurton]

Yup the '76 Minerva Blue is my favorite but that '77 Ice Green Metallic is close behind

[@azlienorawi625]

Salute for the collection of 911 turbo..

[@misterdude206]

I thank this guy for leaving great cars like this as stock as possible. too many cars these days are being torn to shreds for speed. sometimes you just have to enjoy the ride.

[@larrysilver9866]

@DennisKololo You're right, there are many modern cars that out perform an old 911. Unless you own one and have the obsession like Magnus obviously has (so do I ) then you don't get it. Watch the video again and listen to this guy, old 911's are in his blood. #911SC

[@RideyBikes]

Passion is such a wonderful thing! Love it.

[@johnkoski1652]

3rd doc on this guy I like him and he gets it

[@TheSimonhammond]

My ideal 930 Turbo would from the mid 80's in Guards Red!

[@Uberwagon]

One of the truly nicest, most passionate car guys I've ever met. Great to see his collection evolve!

[@nappiral]

It's cool that he drives them all and they don't just sit in his garage collecting dust.

[@tiestor34]

my advice,keep saving money for your dream car ;)

[@Dance1617]

I wish I could afford his cars =(

[@richardcarr6493]

l love the green one it looks classic fantastic :)

[@fitjoejoe7228]

Porsche Passion ! Living it ! Love it ! Is it in you? Porsche Kid .

[@burnhippiesforfuel]

i like this guy's comments on driving.

[@ivicamanovic]

Hello Magnus John from Australia I used to pull 95-100 ks not miles in 1st gear 140-150 ks in 2 nd gear, 3 third gear was good for 240 ks an hours. I couldn't wide 4th out on any race track straight. ITS AN ANIMAL the gearing is huge it just has long legs. Now it has a Ruf spec 3.4 liter Ruf spec engine approx 450 HP with less than 12 pounds of boost. Its running a 915 5 speed box. On excellaration you can put the boot into it an it just lights up the rear tires mate. The 5 speed has quickered the ratio's up more driveable in the streets. I used to only use 3 rd gear in the street 4 the on the fwy. Now I can use 4 th in the streets and 5 th on the freeway. I am about the take of the KKK-27 turbo that has a KKK-29 turbine wheel in it and go to a Garret roller bearing turbo. I believe she will do 600 HP with the original CIS. Its a super strong motor. I have the most utter respect for you Magnus owning all those turbo's I have owned my turbo for almost 20 years I will never sell it. Greetings from Australia cheers mate.

[@Desertduleler_88]

This guy looks so deceiving.... No way would I had thought by looking at him he was a Porsche enthusiast.

[@ronthemogul]

+MrStoneycool69 as they say you dont judge a book by its cover

[@Desertduleler_88]

thesmoothone You got that right.

[@StockiGTI]

I drove an 930 turbo Targa but with the bigger intercooled Engine and it was insane... when the boost kicks in...all Hell breaks loose. Was one Hell of a Experience.

[@alexbelanger]

The Targa turbo!? That is an incredibly rare car - only 193 cars. Congrats!

[@StockiGTI]

AlexB Yes, the Targa. its worth a little fortune.

[@jamescrozier2806]

My dad had a 89 targa turbo. Loved that car. Wish he would of kept it.

[@mv3098]

I interrupted Mr. Walker one day in November as he sat near his car along PCH. Wonderful if brief interaction, and came away impressed with his positive attitude.

[@walperstyle]

Perfect example of a guy doing what he wants. This is how you build cars... you don't go looking for the approval of others, you just do what you want.

[@CJM44.41]

I'd love to just sit and talk Porsches all day with him. Not many people anymore care for cars and actually know anything. Magnus Walker is a prime example of a true car enthusiast.

[@mvee87]

Worth it just to hear him say "Boost" over and over in his amazing Yankee/Northern English hybrid accent.

[@LordHyren]

Thank you Magnus for sharing your beautiful Porsche collection with us. I think the fact that one of those cars can sit for so long and then run perfectly is a wonderful testament to how those cars are built.

[@heynando]

wow, respect, this guy sure knows what he is talking about

[@Fresse]

I think it's good to keep them stock. It's a reminder of the old days.

[@MrMatsumoto0]

Im so jealous of this guy, true story. Keep being awesome Magnus

[@jsnadrian]

Magnus is such a fascinating guy -- great video!

[@pochobailey]

Thanks Magnus for sharing. Love the Blue one with golden rims ;-)

[@jcb8505]

Id love to visit and hang out at the garage.

[@JuergenGDB]

Decent Porsche old school flick.. "No Mans Land" with Charlie Sheen.. lol Ice Green Metalic Turbo... or hopefully just a stunt 911, because it gets trashed.

[@Kolinu2]

The mint green turbo is so cool. Saw one first on uk tv in a mini series. Loved it then love it now.

[@mazza411]

i would happily watch and listen to this guy talk about his Porsche's all day long!

[@blakes9526]

I wish I had the money to buy a 89 911 Carrera 930 turbo

[@RussellRobinson77]

I thought this was a petrolicious vid for a second. This was an awesome vid

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

It's nice to see that Magnus actually drives his cars and doesn't squirrel them away.

[@joeheape221]

Well done, Magnus. That's an excellent film about your collection - and indeed about the Porsche brand. I currently have a C4S and am expecting to change to a 911 Turbo or Turbo S next year. Every Porsche owner I've ever spoken to agrees that nothing drives like a Porsche - and all also agree, that they'd never have any other make of car. What more can you say? Many thanks again, Magnus - enjoyed it.

[@aaronwilkie6574]

this man has good taste clean subtle tough styling , lowered stance , originality etc

[@erolcoulson8982]

1989 911 porsche Turbo is the best car ever

[@alexutzu24ianuarie]

Great video

[@stephanga]

Cool guy and awesome cars!

[@victor9191]

i like the video but a little bit more driving and sound would be great

[@1240enzo]

I would be happy with just one 911, and I can't even afford that. Lucky bugger to have so much choice. Still, Magnus is one seriously cool dude.

[@jrcounts]

I've had the fever for years !!!

[@991GTS]

Cool guy! Great cars!

[@mmmboobs]

God, i love the blue one with gold wheels. Gorgeous.

[@drunkenmasterii3250]

I like how much this guy love his cars.

[@Jimmieadamsp]

Those cars are absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for keeping these classic 911s alive.

[@PyroMonkey409]

This man's voice is very intriguing. Better then the story tellers in most of Porsche's commercials. Porsche, hire him to commentate on your future commercials! By the way, beautiful cars.

[@davidvillalobos4486]

Golden Campagnolo wheels... ***drooooool***

[@v_alexiadis]

Really great video!

[@TheAslakVind]

I love his passion for his Porsches, and the vast knowledge. And man he is good at telling it! Great shooting, guys!

[@Bros4LifeStudios]

Met him in person at Laguna Seca. Made my day by any means.

[@lucasclift3196]

Would mine too my friend!

[@DPPremier]

wow, i have to say these cars just hypnotized me throughout the vid, so gorgeous.

[@muzman777]

Magnus Walker, a man who appears to live the dream. I love his outlook and his passion, another great film with him guys, well done.

[@DriftCookiee]

this makes me want to go out and buy one now !

[@1954telecaster]

so this guy made all his money as a fashion designer??

[@gtrskyline06]

Loved the hole thing. Very inspirational

[@mustangmafiatv3660]

Just something Mesmerising with the Porsche 911’s

[@CJM44.41]

The ice green one is by far the prettiest

[@domwatson88]

cool music / editing makes it really good to watch. thanks!

[@mockngbrdy]

"I've put more miles on that in the first 2 weeks of ownership than i think the car's had in the past 5 years" Awesome!

[@92superamerica]

Really great. Want the first turbo too.

[@jabattle1]

Amazing..good video.

[@keshlan23]

more vids with Magnus please , I can hear that man talk all day!

[@ninomacanovic312]

Amazing man... just amazing.

[@shaneac79]

The guy's living the dream!

[@Pandamasque]

The black one is like a prowling monster.

[@SF_Native]

This video came in 2013, before the hundreds of RWB videos that started popping up in the last 5 years. Magnus was ahead of his time, starting in the early 2000's. I bought my first Porsche in 2007, still ahead of the 911 craze. Wish I had scooped up all of those 930s for 25k and G bodies for 5k.

[@Edison73100]

Very very cool

[@richard0807]

Something about Magnus Walker's voice that makes me feel sleepy. I like the dog, btw. Is that pure Rottweiler or is it a mix? I had a Rottweiler before - gorgeous dogs, so affectionate. Oh, and the Porsches are AWESOME! Thx for the upload.

[@EVILSPAWN1003]

I think what you MENT to say Magnus was "i`ve messed up enough 911`s"

[@blaxland64]

meant* ... I don't often correct but you had capitalised your error so I thought: eh, why not?

[@EVILSPAWN1003]

Bx Fair enough;)

[@EVILSPAWN1003]

***** I don`t think you can compare Singer and what MW does. Their (Singer) starting point is the not so desirable 964 and they turn it into a thing of absolute perfection,a carbon fiber 70`s longnose. So their cars don`t really have a story to tell,they didn`t take a classic and butcher it.They build future classics if anything. MW does weird stuff to cars that was already classics when he started. I may be a bit biased tho because i think Singer is the best thing since sliced bread and would take a Singer 911 over almost any other car every day of the week:)

[@blahblah2018]

great collection, gotta love the turbo

[@gelovr6]

who dare to dislike this video????

[@prettybadusername]

What a video. Sit back, and enjoy

[@Gambantein]

Absolute great stuff! Magnus Walker is the man!

[@jim2950]

I think that anyone who drives a Porsche, Corvette should be forced to have a drivers course before driving them. These cars today are running 400 - 600 horsepower with speeds from 160-200 miles per hour and o-60 in under 4 seconds. These are race cars on the street. Most people can not control the power. Putting car like that on the road is suscide. I am more worried about the people near by who get killed for someone else stupidity. When I was young the Porsche would have 150 horsepower.

[@toffeerado]

This guy is the biggest son of a bitch to me..................... one person I can say i'm jealous of, fuck his life is the dream, what car guy doesn't want a place like this with your cars inside.

[@jamesprice2163]

I absolutely admire Magnus he loves what he loves and did everything he could to get one I'm with s10s how he is with porsches and I hope to one day have a collection of s10s starting with my dad's old 98 s10 blazer 4x4 that I now own and I'll own until the day I die

[@jasonteddy5302]

you have the money to do it..you and Jay Leno... Ok..imagine with me... Your car .. think about the top end of the cylinder... On your piston.. Place a Magnet on the top of the piston, then put a. electro magnet on the top of the head side... open the head and leave the rocker assembly open... the whole system is already designed for it.. no combustion... just add magnets and go... how about that?

[@danielzuniga4131]

ceramic coating the exhaust and Turbine housing might help the turbos spool better. I think they did that to the grand National GNX Maclaren

[@papito2you]

Just couldn't get to the end. Got into my JR supercharged Miata and went for a spin. Thank you for reminding me the awesomeness of driving.

[@vrmmmm]

Love his attitude.
