This thread needs to be closed. It's gone way off course... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

I agree. MW doesn't deserve any more bashing than anyone else...and in his case he hasn't offended anyone so he doesn't deserve any of it....especially in a classic car forum...

Move it to the sand box where it belongs.
The garage is no place to be bashing people.
Comments on products and services are always welcome to me.
Personally I don't know the guy. I have seen him at events, but I've never had a reason to talk to him.

I've been following Magnus Walker for a couple years now and I just don't understand why he draws the negativity out of folks on this site so much. I like what he's doing for Porsche cars and I believe Porsche likes it too. Magnus is as serious an enthusiast as anyone else on this site. You may not like his personal style or what he does with his cars but his style is his own and he builds his cars the way he envisions them. That's no different than the rest of us. I've never met him but it seems everyone on here that has met him likes him and always say what a nice and down to earth person he is. That speaks volumes to me. I wish I could have people say the same about me. Not a bad thing at all. Please cut this guy some slack! I've never read anything negative he's said about anyone else! I think he's a good guy!

You are correct in that MW brings out some illogical post from some members. My only concern is that he posts those dangerous driving runs on YouTube. Just think if he caused an accident where one of your family members died.
He runs POC, thus he can save it for the track where the only thing that will slow you down is your head and the items between your legs.

Yeah, I certainly do understand your point about racing around on public roads. It's not something that should be promoted. Other than that though, I have no issues with the guy. Unfortunately racing around on public roads is pretty common place with cars and motor cycles. Most of us have pushed the limit in this way upon occasion. Ever seen any of Jake Raby's video's doing the same thing? I have and don't recall any backlash about it from anyone on 914world.com. I guess having a professionally produced and heavily stylized video made raises the hair on some people's neck. I think for some reason, there's something about MW that a lot of people don't like. Kind of like Kieffer Sutherland. I don't know what it is about that guy but I just want to punch him in the face.

I'd buy any 914 guy a beer and sit there for awhile.

For guys like Rick, I'd give him the shirt off my back if he needed it.

Closed and deleted thread will be good for all of us. Let's get back to cars. Crazy driving rants do not belong here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

I sorta kinda like the way he's keeping it 4lug no flairs and still an aggressive look to the car
