There's a good article about Magnus Walker in the latest Heavy Hitters magazine.

Saw that issue and flipped through it. Guess I should have read more about him.

On a side note, that same issue shows a UGR Lambo that was totaled. Some pawn broker owned it and they had a spread on his car which included the Lambo before it was wrecked. Gorgeous car. Shame to see it smashed

Thank Skip - The Urban Outlaw video was inspiring. My first job was a shop boy at the local Porsche dealer in the summer of '76 and I've been passionate about them since.

Not really feelin' the (filming of) risk taking on the street, but that guy and the film are undeniably awesome! Thanks!

Nice to be there just as the Turbo cars came on the scene.

That's what I did to get through some of jobs I had.

At the link he has all kinds of pics of his many different cars like the ones below:

that was phenomenal. It's great to see someone with the passion and drive he has. A bit reminiscent of some people on here. Great post!

Thanks Jeff.

From your signature I see you share a commonality with Magnus...he has cars in pieces too.

More from his site...

Definitely a pasionate car guy , I think we all sit there alone and look at our projects for hours at a time reflecting, thinking and feeling what is next, how it would work , look etc . I know I do, I get lost in garage for 12 hours or so and forget about all the madness around me while I'm on the building zone. Just dont get that time often enough. I think that is the number one reason I'm in the hobbie ,
Very well put together story
