i met magnus a few times - nice guy - kinda quiet - but he's a bit of a rip off artist as almost all of "his" mods have been done for years by guys who just didn't have his "look" and talent for marketing - the urban outlaw thing is also kinda contrived - the emorys are the real outlaws, with almost no advertising (they also started before the internet) - the folks who dug the outlaws came to them - enough already magnus . . .

Magnus appears a clone of some of our guys back then.
He has in his hand a part that is wet.
Its coolant.

I see a guy working hard to make a buck.
Where's the prob?


Magnus:
"Though I’ve been sharing for years my love of Porsche’s iconic 911 with anyone willing to give a listen, this is the first time (t-shirts, hats, etc. notwithstanding) I’m putting my name on a product and offering it for sale.

It’s not that I haven’t thought of cool parts I think the market needs, or been approached by manufacturers looking to team up with me – I have – it’s just that I’m about as picky as someone gets when it comes to this sort of thing. And for the most part I’ve been plenty happy doing my own thing to my own cars and not really worrying about whether or not other people approve."

I dig that.

There were a few older 911s with his wheels at 2014 SEMA.
To me it says... Porsche, but custom. I don't love it or hate it.

In today's world, just about anybody who becomes successful or gains notoriety, will end up with a lot of detractors.

The man came from meager beginnings, but has turned his dreams into a successful story. I applaud him for sticking with it.

Coolant goes bad...not the end of the world...

Thousands of parts made daily in not so ideal conditions...

While I'd rather not deal with old, stinky coolant it happens...luckily I change my clothes before I go home!

No doubt,I have had the dubious pleasure of working in septic conditions later with the heavy gear
Need an f-n spacesuit.It's toxic,deadly.And its spraying and misting.gag.
I was sure I saw a few turds floating by occasionally.
A respirator helps.

What wheel is this with the square cutouts? Looks like a Fuchs but without the hearts.

I like the wheels, but I'm not real keen on the gold.

Also, I agree with Mark, this guy came here and worked hard, now he is enjoying the fruits of his labor.

sorry for my ambivalence, as i don't want to have an anti magnus pile on, and i want to have a respectful discussion - but everyone is entitled to their own opinion - what rubbed me the wrong way was that magnus started his online presence with his initial thread on pelican and he looked to be a real authentic enthusiast, one of the guys - when he started his marketing campaign with the videos and products, i kinda felt duped, as if he was just laying the groundwork for what strikes me as a very contrived business plan - yes he works hard, and from my limited experience, and from those who i know, who know him better, he is a very nice guy - he is clearly successful - but for those who believe that "his" mods are his original creations, i simply disagree - just show up at any r gruppe gathering, and you'll see guys who were doing these mods for decades prior, and who never tried to gain and fortune from their hobby - also, this is only anecdotal, but it seems like the die hard magnus supporters are always socal guys - every part of the country has its own culture (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) , and magnus seems to rub the socal guys the right way . . .
