There's a 914 somewhere waiting for the drivetrain from that car


Perhaps a 904 project?

What? Too soon??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Love it.

The cold tires, stupid hot-dogging driver scenario sounds more likely if you read the second tweet.

I've never been a fan of people spinning tires at car shows, or anywhere on the street.

"stupid hot-dogging driver scenario sounds more likely"

Ask Paul Walker and Roger Rodas……. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Magnus Walker's crash probably could have been a lot worse, too.

I had not seen those pictures yet...interesting.

It still looks like an odd position for the trailer to back into the car, but yeah...no skid marks.

If you look at his instagram feed, it looks like he swerved to miss the Mercedes and hit the trailer. It must of a been a city street. Why else would there be an 18 wheeler car trailer parked there? Next question would be why was he driving so fast on a city street?

I'm pretty sure that's the road behind the dealership, I've been down that road many times, that's why the car hauler was there unloading cars for the grand opening probably.

Judging from the photos I'd have to agree that the truck backed into the 911. No skid marks, all the debris is right there on the ground next to the car in the 1st photo & lastly if the car was moving why are there no signs of horizontal scrapes mixed in w/ the damage on the 911?

If so, truck driver is stuck on a BIG hook. Should never have been backing with ramp extended anyway. More than a few have said they heard he spun though.

Hard to say. The front wheels are turned to the left. If it did slide,(skid) you may not be able to see the skid marks.A better question is why would you ever park that way with the ass end hanging over the center line,not parallel parked, facing oncoming traffic?

Seriously, park your car THAT way given the circumstances? You'd have to be stupid to park your car behind a semi in that fashion when the semi obviously looks like it was loading/unloading cars.

No skid marks also support the story of cold slick tires and roads.

I doubt the truck would back up with the lift ramp extended...

Was a great party they threw, open bar, cigars, food, hot cars and hot chicks.
Magnus was busy signing autographs and posters all night, i had to wait till he was done before he had time to check out the 914 turbo, he took some pictures of me in it as i was getting ready to leave, he signed the cover of the fourteener magizine for me and a poster for Ollie. I will post pictures on another thread when i download them from my go pro...

Not that my opinion even matters, but why would he park the 911 in that position on a road like that and then walk away from it? Weird photo opp?

One thing is for sure it is elmuncho now...

Best part is that no bones were broken, just some shaken nerves and change in plans.
New metal, parts and paint seem to find their way back on to damaged cars... in this case MW has his goals set high; Rennsport5 in less than a month (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
