As the owner of a 914-6 in Irish green, That is held together with some duct tape. Magnus was the first guy to say to me. "I love the duct tape " and meant it. Such a personable man. Go Magnus Go. Big fan.
Tomi Vuori I agree with you guys. I love the 924 own an 87S and a rare 88S Special Edition. Both unique in their own way. Not as fast as my 911 but I drive and enjoy them for what they are and how they make me feel. Bottom line, if it's a Honda a 350Z or VW bug, drive, own and enjoy what you love.
The cinematography on these videos is always stunning. It fuels my passion for cars in ways nothing else does and even has me falling for vehicles I never looked twice at.
I have a belief that to get into classic cars you need to love it, and Magnus loves it. Unfortunately so many people are into the old Porsches for investment purposes. I am driving 30 years and through hard work and long hours I have owned a lot of nice cars, not super valuable but good cars. 90% have been German and RWD, currently a have a couple of Porsches (993/924s) and a daily diesel Mercedes! If u are into them for the right reasons doesn’t matter about values:)
Bought a 78’ 924 for $2,000 and it was in fairly nice condition. When I get the time I’ll work on restoring it or converting it for AutoCross which I drove it in a couple times.
Wow, things have changed! Magnus has changed. The first time I learned about him, many years ago, he would touch only air-cooled 911s. It’s cool to me that he has grown to appreciate all real Porches (sports cars).
The. Amish.Sasquatch there was a company in torrance that specialized in mods on the 2 liter engine punching them out to 2.5..euro spec pistions and enlarged valves....and carbareator set up also as well as turbo mods
"That's one of the great things about Porsche, their easy to customize and tweak." Yeah, so easy to customize, all you had to do was start a clothing brand, become rich, buy a rare car, paint it the colors you wanted, design your own wheels, manufacture said wheels, then throw them on the car.
Nothing's stopping you from buying a second car and customizing it. I have no idea what he paid for that car, but it ain't no classic GTO or Shelby or Daytona or 60's Ferrari or anything truly expensive like that.
PNWHomesteader To him it is bec he lives, eats, and breathes Porsche. Passion wether fast or slow, old or new, vintage or rusty if it's what you love it will be !
Had a friend 30 years ago owning a base 924. Agreed, not very powerful, but after driving it many many times, I can say it still was a Porsche. Strong, stout body and chassis, no flex in curves at all, very well planted to the road. . Very pleasant to drive
Thanks Magnus and Petrolicious! After having driven a lot of different 911's from all era's, I recently had the opportunity to drive a 928gts. I had driven a 944 years ago, but that car was in bad shape and the situation didn't dictate a proper "hooning." So I considered the 928 to be my first true front engine Porsche experience. I was blown away. Even with the automatic transmission that car was much more responsive and handled way better than I thought it would. I seriously underestimated that car's abilities. I now plan on adding a proper front engine Porsche to my garage as soon as I can. If you love Porsche's and haven't driven a 928, 944, 965, etc, I highly recommend you do, in any of it's variants. Thanks again Petrolicious! Cheers Magnus, thanks lad!
Hallo ich habe einen 911e und ich habe einen 924,,und ob sie es glauben oder nicht, ich fahre den 924 lieber ,er fährt einfach besser hat eine viel bessere strassen Lage., und man wird nicht immer am Käfer erinnert, aber das erzählen sie mal einen eingefleischten 911 Fahrer,,von wegen Hausfrauen porsche 😊..LG und gute Zeit mit ihrem schönen 928.😊
ive been a vintage porsche mechanic for years. i always get excited when i get to work on 924's. love the old audi based 2.0 cars! reliable, fuel efficient and fun as hell on the twisty roads around me. glad i got mine before they get too expensive for a mechanic to own!
Ich habe ein 911 und ein 924 ich fahre lieber den 924 ,der hat einfache eine bessere Straßen Lage und sieht finde ich besser aus ,und nicht so langweilig aus vom Design. 😊LG.
This guy never gives credit to the actual people who do the work on the cars, watching any videos about him you would think he did everything himself. That would be ok if he was some high level tuning engineer or stylist, but he just picks out a handful of fairly banal tweaks. Good self promoter tho.
That he doesnt deserve the profile he has compared to real car builders and tuners who do amazing work of their own with small budgets and little to no credit. He has done extremely well though in building a brand from scratch out of his name and marketing it to rich people with a very simple set of modifications. So good for him I guess, but I personally just dont see the profile he gets on these motoring channels as deserved.
He builds his own engine, does his iwn suspension tuning, has his own 1552 designed wheels, and does al the work to his cars himself... If someone helps him, its friends of him so i dont really see you're point? Gr
lets go for a drive shall we? ok let me drop in here and give me a minute while I roll up my 5' long hair ball. no way this guy works on cars... anyone that has ever worked on cars knows you can't do it with long hair... drop under the car, move your hair, roll around under the car, move your hair, look over a running engine MOVE YOUR HAIR, the amount of wasted time and energy is just dumb... this guy's look is his marketing tool, cult of personna... much like Richard S. the guy that owns Chrome Hearts
Magnus is a legend. Might look like a homeless person, but that's what's fun about him....and the fact that he's rich with a huge number of Porsches in his garage :D
Rob Eustace properly its in stock turbo a 931....modified its a 937....intercooler...eurospec pistons.. snail trans....can be built...intercooler from a Mustang zvo is pretty close..to original...german ..does have german numbers on it too
Tobias Typical hipster right here. Porsche wasn’t California’s biggest successor lmao it was Ferrari and Chevy in the 80’s. Man who ever told him that lied to him
In Germany we used to say the husband buys himself a 911 and a 944 for his wife. (same applies ofc to 924s and even 928s - my grandma drove the latter)
He's definitely not the most compelling speaker. If you watch his TED Talk, it's just 19 minutes of him rambling about his life and failing to ever find the point. Too bad, because he certainly does have a distinctive style.
Because all the money in the world can ever fully satisfy someone forever. Anything material has no real value because it wont go with you when you die. That is why God is good, he gives life in abundance. He teaches love, respect, and hard work. Just saying, haha. Peace.
Damn I wish I had multi-millionaire parents like this bum so I could buy a bunch of cool shit, and still look like a transient and continue snorting drugs and drinking night train like this bum.
I never understood how people wouldn't like a front engine rwd porsche. Everybody likes when other manufacturers make front engine 4cyl turbo cars so why wouldn't one made by porsche be considered to be a a great sports car?
Thats what keeps attracting me to the Porsche brand, its owners actually drive their cars whereas most Ferrari guys only care about NOT putting miles on their cars in hopes of flipping for a profit. You live, you die, you leave your cars here, might as well enjoy em.
Not to mention that a Porsche doesn't make it's owner look like someone who suffers from inferiority complexes. I can't help myself, each time I see a Lambo, I wonder what exactly might be wrong with that guy.
Another excellent video, as always. But the big question is, How does Magnus get away with living in California while driving this 924 with personalized OHIO license plates????
Here in Germany the 924, 944 and 968 don't get much love in the Porsche community, but I gotta say I don't really get why that is. They are, regardless of their relatively low power, very good drivers cars with pretty much perfect weight distribution. One day I really want to buy a 944 and build it into a real understatement machine. Leave the outside stock, stiffen up the chassis, give it a limited slip diff, modern brakes, maybe half a rollcage in the back, some agerssive rubber, maybe even swap in a modern Audi engine.
968 is hardly 'unloved'. Prices for good examples have been fairly steady over a large number of years. Sure, it's not as loved as the 911, but it holds its own against 'regular' cars.
Mangus has done what so many Gear Heads dream of with their automotive passions and has gotten Famous for it. Not everyone is going to like the man who has fashioned himself as an “Outlaw” of the Porsche “rules” and regulations that (unwittingly) have governed the marque. I see the myriad of videos (like this one) done on him driving around public roads like a dread-locked madman and I do worry about his fate… I hate to see him end up like Jimmy Dean did. Who was just as passionate about his “Little Bastard” 505 Porsche Spyder at the time of his legendary death. video.startribune.com/porsche-crashes-during-twin-cities-media-event-with-our-reporter-inside/323095071/ I just hope and pray he doesn’t get himself or others killed the way that he drives. Many have had a litany of negative comments about this self-promoting stylized “Urban Outlaw” over the years and I’m sure that will continue about his butchering up Porsche cars in the manner that suits him personally best. Nevertheless, Magnus continues to expand his scholarship and passionate driving experiences on the Porsche culture as one of its most fascinating Loved & “Unloved” characters among its varied ranks.
Exquisite video, Magnus is a great host for his videos.. I remember when he got this car, it was one of the few P cars i had never heard off.. That massive rear window, offset hood intake, and wide body are so unique and cool. Hope theres a video of his twin plug 964 on the way, that car is a masterpiece.
Avoiding emissions check? Ohio is a front plate state too. This guy hustled jeans from across town, claiming they were from across the pond. I'm sure he doesn't mind a bit of legal yoga to get what he wants...
I miss this era no SUVs no sedans just sports cars. Back in the day you didn’t have to be a multimillionaire to own a Porsche, 914s, 924s 944s we’re not crazy money. I love the idea of an affordable Porsche but it likely won’t ever happen again.
I hate this new gen all you see on Streets are SUV grocery getters and most of them are very boring I agree about the cheap sportscar back in the day although I'm only a kid 13 years old and I want to enter Motorsports
A 924 was thrice the money of a VW golf. A Cayman is thrice the money of a VW golf. And people still think you are not able to afford a real Porsche by buying that car.
It’s great that you Get the Carrera GT and 924 turbo Magnus. In 2024 you can “optimise” the turbo so it makes 250 plus and really moves. Hi from the UK…
My late father went to buy one in London.The dealer had a 1979 gold 911 Turbo for sale.I talked dad into buying the 911. Many years later I went to buy an Aston Martin DB9. The dealer had a Nissan GTR R35 for sale.My son did the same to me. 😂 😂 😂
Magnus is great, car is neat...but did anyone else feel like Magnus was giving a rehearsed PowerPoint presentation while actually being a bit bored? I dunno, for whatever reason this video didn't have that much emotion, could have done with less catch-phrases and more 'feel'. But beggars can't be choosers, cool owner and cool car nonetheless.
Not everyone has great vocal variety, who cares. Personally I trust "boring" guys like him more than slick talkers who make people think they're "charismatic" but offer nothing substantial.
Met Magnus a few years back now, top guy. I own a couple of 924 turbos and i have to say out of all the Porsche I have owned (356, 911,912,914,944,928, Cayenne) and driven it is my current favourite. There has alway been something about a turbo charged Porsche that was special and I dont believe the 924 turbo is any different. Currently they are still affordable (UK Prices hitting £15K for a good road car) they are still out there but they were produced in such small numbers they are quite the rarity. Cheers Woolie
Awesome would love to see more of Magnus Walkers Transaxles. I own my 944 S2 for 3,5 years now and it’s such an enjoyable car. Very underrated. But great handling because of the transaxle.
It's not a poor man's porsche.its a Porsche for poor men .A poor man's Porsche is a Volkswagen.Im going to look at a 1987 924s this weekend .It may due till I get a 911!
English, German, Japanese or Australian.... ha! Reasonably sure that Australians do speak English. Love this guy. Love his ethos and collection. Very much living my dream.
"Angeles Crest Hwy"... My stomping grounds too. Now to be fair it's pretty much the ONLY road in SoCal you can play race car driver on... I have a 77 924, had an 81 931 updated to 937 spec, owned by Jim Pasha right before me. 215 HP, top mount IC, full koni. Treatment & 951 front brakes... Was a bloody good ride. My personal best time on the 400 turn Hwy 2 was 38minutes with toP GPS speed 154mph yes in the 937..... I hate how this jackass painted a pristine 1 of 320 ever made 937 to customize it.... SMH
Forget Magnus Walker...he ruins Porsches.is Walker in the peerage? Why do we know who he is? I lived in the same hood for years with this fool riding around. Him & Vincent Gallo. The best 911, was a 1973 911t, located in Colorado, in my possession, shared by a father & son who hand painted it with silver house paint. Brush strokes sere visible. This was a club car, street legal used in races, known as the Gray Ghost & 500 car. Gray is hard for other drivers to see, this 911 was sick af, it is the Anti Porsche.
Just came across your channel and I am very impressed with your collection and knowledge. Being an owner if 2, I come across many owners and you stand out as not your typical porsche owner (no offence intended!) - just great to see you don't fit that stereotypical, pompous porsche owner look LOL.
A BRIT WHO HAS TURNED INTO A YANK...guess if you live in a country long enough...hmm....and you do what to have money to buy all these cars? my mate lives in USA...he is rich and says anyone with half a brain...with a good bis who works hard can make a good life there he says.
This was very interesting. Here's an English bloke with a ZZ Top beard and dreads with a massive Porsche collection. The Mind boggles! His car has a Ohio plate but he's driving in Cali. Does he live in Ohio or Cali? I'd love to talk to him as I always fancied a 944 just for having a laugh at the weekend.
The wv 924 is unloved but not a GT, thats rare. I thinknit was called 924 Turbo GT here, the engines didnt like being turbocharged, but i think people still kept a GT if the had one. A Porcshe 944 is begining to be exoensive, A turbo crazy expensive, but BMW M3 is also very exoensive tiday, anything M really. Those wv bases SUVs dont counts as porsches i think, i understand they sell alot if these bullshitcars on the name only. The Boxter may be the new 911, as its mid engine Porsche can build a more refined cas out if it. More suVs ir fourdoor cars fir mistly USA will kill the brand i think. Buy a friggin VW Touareg instead. But now a Lamborghini SUV, i get that americans have rhe money but building cars for their taste will not be good in the lobg run, nobody in Europe almost wants american cars at all, now destroying even the sportscars i dont know. Theres a reason nobody buys american ordinart cars here, rhey sucks. I like how he say englush and australuan as different kanguages:-) Still really nice car, good to see.
I have owned 6 Porsches from a 57 coupe to an 87 944. In between I had a 58 Speedster, an 80 924, an 87 912, and an 87 911. The one I disliked the most was my 1980 924. Especially after it got drowned in a typhoon in the Philippines.
That’s the cooking I personally like about Porsche you wouldn’t have to worry about parts, it’s universal, everyone knows Porsche, same with BMW. Compare to a Ferrari, or Lamborghini, or any unique exotic cars it be hard to repair. I like to repair cars.
>some rich hipster says: "porsche 924 is a good car", camera man takes a few shots like just a regular day with my 924, check it out guys with some post-punk junk music at the background 10/10 great vid
If you want to see how potent this platform really is, look at Automobile Magazines 1989 Porsche 944 Turbo S vs. a 911 Turbo article. Spoiler, the 944 proceeded to slap the 911 like a little bitch around a track. Respect this platform for its roots were planted at Le Mans.
924/944/S2/Turbo/968 are fucking underrated period. There an Automobile article from 90 where a 944 Turbo was pitted against a 911 Turbo on the same track. The 944 proceeded to hand the 911 it's ass.
What is it with porche?? Now let me say that porche are serious pieces of machinery i get that but when it comes to looks they are butt ugly! Those personal wheels magnus has look like cheap Lego and they say a boxster engine sounds intoxicating 🤮😱 are you serious??? A v8 engine or v10 or 12 definitely sounds amazing but a boxster i dont think so! Any engine that revs high will sound good but compared to a v8 or higher is what sounds good!! As i said engineering wise they are orsum but besides that there just butt ugly! For me their are 3 things a car needs 1. Looks great 2. Sounds great 3.goes great! Porche only tick one box for me! Except their hyper cars were they use v10s or v8s!! For me the only porche i would buy is a 918 or carerra gt the rest are just girls cars! Cute little boxes!!! 😎😉
I had a turbo 924. Horrible cars, overpriced new and overpriced now. Bitch to work on because the k jetronic injection and trans in the back. Bought a supra mk3 after that, wayy better car. Was even produced in the same year but really felt like it was from the next century.
I remember driving just a regular 1981 924 and the gearbox felt really spongey was hard to tell if you were even in gear, not at all like normal Porsche 911 gearbox.
There is 1 forsale here in Australia for $5000. I've always loved Porsche a d can never really afford a gt3rs or even a 964 so I'm going to look at this 924 tomorrow. I think I'm in love with the old school look
As the owner of a 914-6 in Irish green, That is held together with some duct tape. Magnus was the first guy to say to me. "I love the duct tape " and meant it. Such a personable man.
Go Magnus Go. Big fan.
Was he humoring you?
And at the end of the day... Drive what you enjoy ;) Fast or slow, old or new, on or of road, as long as you have a good time!
Bram Collier I wish more people would agree with you and me.
Tomi Vuori
I agree with you guys. I love the 924 own an 87S and a rare 88S Special Edition. Both unique in their own way. Not as fast as my 911 but I drive and enjoy them for what they are and how they make me feel. Bottom line, if it's a Honda a 350Z or VW bug, drive, own and enjoy what you love.
I do too !
1988 Pontiac FieroGT 5 speed, a car also despised by the uninformed. 30 years now of fun driving. MY car, nothing else.
Well said
Amen to that

Patrick Szczypinski yup. 😁😁
That's why you should always have a 951
nutsackmania totally. Got into the 951 game two years ago. Just in time!

If u are into them for the right reasons doesn’t matter about values:)
Now the 924 will get pricey
it already is. i once skipped very nice 924's for €1000. Now they start at 3k and look horrid. And the GT is only found in museums. Very rare.
i thought the same damn thing it will jack up those unloved 944s too
Bought a 78’ 924 for $2,000 and it was in fairly nice condition. When I get the time I’ll work on restoring it or converting it for AutoCross which I drove it in a couple times.
Still don't want one. Could be £100,000
Could've bought a '85 911 targa back in '92 @15k, boy I missed the boat on that one
Wow, things have changed! Magnus has changed. The first time I learned about him, many years ago, he would touch only air-cooled 911s. It’s cool to me that he has grown to appreciate all real Porches (sports cars).
I had an '87 924S. For me the 924S is where it's at. You get the narrow 924 body but the Porsche 2.5L. Early 924 turbo's are pretty cool, too.
The. Amish.Sasquatch there was a company in torrance that specialized in mods on the 2 liter engine punching them out to 2.5..euro spec pistions and enlarged valves....and carbareator set up also as well as turbo mods

I never understood how people wouldn't like a front engine rwd porsche. Everybody likes when other manufacturers make front engine 4cyl turbo cars so why wouldn't one made by porsche be considered to be a a great sports car?
Jacob Coffelt it’s not that people don’t like them. It’s just that there are so many other options for FR layout cars.
Love it. Happy to see the 924 platform finally getting some respect. Only thing is that now they will get expensive :/
yep prices will now go up
B Reilly haha they're already expensive.
this guy wont do shit to porsches prices globally
RIP interview audio. Also RIP 924 prices.
The coolest 924 i've ever seen
All i could think about during this piece was - garden shears!
Thats what keeps attracting me to the Porsche brand, its owners actually drive their cars whereas most Ferrari guys only care about NOT putting miles on their cars in hopes of flipping for a profit. You live, you die, you leave your cars here, might as well enjoy em.
Not to mention that a Porsche doesn't make it's owner look like someone who suffers from inferiority complexes.
I can't help myself, each time I see a Lambo, I wonder what exactly might be wrong with that guy.
+Jaikee Berlin amen
Jaikee Berlin yup
I speak Australian and didn't even know it! Sweet!
I would take an RX-7 FB over this particular Porsche.... The better car for the period
theres a reason this porsche is an understatement.
It has the paint job of a kids sailboat.
Looks better than just plain silver
Prices just went through the roof... Magnus, why? I love it anyway.

Another excellent video, as always. But the big question is, How does Magnus get away with living in California while driving this 924 with personalized OHIO license plates????
Vampirebear13 the trick is to have so many Porsches that you never drive any one long enough to be seen by the same cop twice.
..aaaand opening big big gate aaaaand here comeeeeess the silver subaru forester sg....
Here in Germany the 924, 944 and 968 don't get much love in the Porsche community, but I gotta say I don't really get why that is. They are, regardless of their relatively low power, very good drivers cars with pretty much perfect weight distribution. One day I really want to buy a 944 and build it into a real understatement machine. Leave the outside stock, stiffen up the chassis, give it a limited slip diff, modern brakes, maybe half a rollcage in the back, some agerssive rubber, maybe even swap in a modern Audi engine.
968 is hardly 'unloved'. Prices for good examples have been fairly steady over a large number of years. Sure, it's not as loved as the 911, but it holds its own against 'regular' cars.
944 is very well loved pretty much everywhere, just check the prices
Mangus has done what so many Gear Heads dream of with their automotive passions and has gotten Famous for it.
Not everyone is going to like the man who has fashioned himself as an “Outlaw” of the Porsche “rules” and regulations that (unwittingly) have governed the marque.
I see the myriad of videos (like this one) done on him driving around public roads like a dread-locked madman and I do worry about his fate…
I hate to see him end up like Jimmy Dean did.
Who was just as passionate about his “Little Bastard” 505 Porsche Spyder at the time of his legendary death.
video.startribune.com/porsche-crashes-during-twin-cities-media-event-with-our-reporter-inside/323095071/
I just hope and pray he doesn’t get himself or others killed the way that he drives.
Many have had a litany of negative comments about this self-promoting stylized “Urban Outlaw” over the years and I’m sure that will continue about his butchering up Porsche cars in the manner that suits him personally best.
Nevertheless, Magnus continues to expand his scholarship and passionate driving experiences on the Porsche culture as one of its most fascinating Loved & “Unloved” characters among its varied ranks.
Great, Magnus Walker tax on 924s now
Peter Beck it's alright, they're generally unwanted.
The Porsche 924 is obviously the best Porsche ever made .
It saved porshe financially and enabled them to reinvest in the more modern stuff we see today I love my 924.
Boring
49% of this video is this hipster walking and holding a coffee
omg i can't stop laughing at this. hahhaahahaha!
God he can waffle on a bit, ok we get it, you love Porsche’s.
He's sharing his information, I learned quite a bit. I don't get how that's a bad thing.
I just got my new glasses and am seeing everything crisp and I'm blessed with a new petrolicious video :D
He sounds more promotional than he needed to...
thats the new Magnus (and Petrolicious)
he always sounds like that, such a poser. waste of a 924 video
That’s kind of his whole game.
The dude loves his porsches and obviously is not shy about it.
He's played out, I can see thru the facade.
Exquisite video, Magnus is a great host for his videos.. I remember when he got this car, it was one of the few P cars i had never heard off.. That massive rear window, offset hood intake, and wide body are so unique and cool. Hope theres a video of his twin plug 964 on the way, that car is a masterpiece.
Anybody know why he has an Ohio plate?
Avoiding emissions check? Ohio is a front plate state too. This guy hustled jeans from across town, claiming they were from across the pond. I'm sure he doesn't mind a bit of legal yoga to get what he wants...
Sal Nachos hmm thought the trick was to get a place in bullhead...only do regestrition every 4 years there
"Like I always say..."
Would love another Porsche in a 924 or 944. So underrated!
@0:37 well, everybody needs a goal in life and how virtuous of you Magnus LOL WTF?
M.W. Quote: whether you speak English, German, Japanese or "Australian"
3:33 walks off the mountain
lmao same thought
I miss this era no SUVs no sedans just sports cars. Back in the day you didn’t have to be a multimillionaire to own a Porsche, 914s, 924s 944s we’re not crazy money. I love the idea of an affordable Porsche but it likely won’t ever happen again.
I hate this new gen all you see on Streets are SUV grocery getters and most of them are very boring I agree about the cheap sportscar back in the day although I'm only a kid 13 years old and I want to enter Motorsports
63's Unboxing get an education, a good job and dream big. You can have anything you work for.
You can get a well sorted low mileage 968 for under 15. They are great cars.
A 924 was thrice the money of a VW golf. A Cayman is thrice the money of a VW golf. And people still think you are not able to afford a real Porsche by buying that car.
It’s great that you Get the Carrera GT and 924 turbo Magnus. In 2024 you can “optimise” the turbo so it makes 250 plus and really moves. Hi from the UK…
My late father went to buy one in London.The dealer had a 1979 gold 911 Turbo for sale.I talked dad into buying the 911.
Many years later I went to buy an Aston Martin DB9. The dealer had a Nissan GTR R35 for sale.My son did the same to me. 😂 😂 😂
Happy with my 1984 944. It’s been a great car!
The 944 is still my favourite ever Porsche
Magnus is great, car is neat...but did anyone else feel like Magnus was giving a rehearsed PowerPoint presentation while actually being a bit bored? I dunno, for whatever reason this video didn't have that much emotion, could have done with less catch-phrases and more 'feel'.
But beggars can't be choosers, cool owner and cool car nonetheless.
Not everyone has great vocal variety, who cares. Personally I trust "boring" guys like him more than slick talkers who make people think they're "charismatic" but offer nothing substantial.
Met Magnus a few years back now, top guy. I own a couple of 924 turbos and i have to say out of all the Porsche I have owned (356, 911,912,914,944,928, Cayenne) and driven it is my current favourite. There has alway been something about a turbo charged Porsche that was special and I dont believe the 924 turbo is any different. Currently they are still affordable (UK Prices hitting £15K for a good road car) they are still out there but they were produced in such small numbers they are quite the rarity. Cheers Woolie
Horrible painting......
Awesome would love to see more of Magnus Walkers Transaxles. I own my 944 S2 for 3,5 years now and it’s such an enjoyable car. Very underrated. But great handling because of the transaxle.
It's not a poor man's porsche.its a Porsche for poor men .A poor man's Porsche is a Volkswagen.Im going to look at a 1987 924s this weekend .It may due till I get a 911!
English, German, Japanese or Australian.... ha! Reasonably sure that Australians do speak English. Love this guy. Love his ethos and collection. Very much living my dream.
What i hate about petrolicous..... MORE DETAIL PICTURES OF ENGINE DRIVETRAIN!!!
"Angeles Crest Hwy"... My stomping grounds too. Now to be fair it's pretty much the ONLY road in SoCal you can play race car driver on... I have a 77 924, had an 81 931 updated to 937 spec, owned by Jim Pasha right before me. 215 HP, top mount IC, full koni. Treatment & 951 front brakes... Was a bloody good ride. My personal best time on the 400 turn Hwy 2 was 38minutes with toP GPS speed 154mph yes in the 937.....
I hate how this jackass painted a pristine 1 of 320 ever made 937 to customize it.... SMH
Forget Magnus Walker...he ruins Porsches.is Walker in the peerage? Why do we know who he is?
I lived in the same hood for years with this fool riding around. Him & Vincent Gallo.
The best 911, was a 1973 911t, located in Colorado, in my possession, shared by a father & son who hand painted it with silver house paint. Brush strokes sere visible. This was a club car, street legal used in races, known as the Gray Ghost & 500 car.
Gray is hard for other drivers to see, this 911 was sick af, it is the Anti Porsche.
Love it. I bought a 924 turbo "S" a few years ago when I turned 18 first Porsche and I wouldnt trade it for anything
Just came across your channel and I am very impressed with your collection and knowledge. Being an owner if 2, I come across many owners and you stand out as not your typical porsche owner (no offence intended!) - just great to see you don't fit that stereotypical, pompous porsche owner look LOL.
A BRIT WHO HAS TURNED INTO A YANK...guess if you live in a country long enough...hmm....and you do what to have money to buy all these cars? my mate lives in USA...he is rich and says anyone with half a brain...with a good bis who works hard can make a good life there he says.
This was very interesting. Here's an English bloke with a ZZ Top beard and dreads with a massive Porsche collection. The Mind boggles! His car has a Ohio plate but he's driving in Cali. Does he live in Ohio or Cali?
I'd love to talk to him as I always fancied a 944 just for having a laugh at the weekend.
Owned a 924 and regret to this day that I broke it ......... Extremely good handling car. Nible and fast!
The wv 924 is unloved but not a GT, thats rare.
I thinknit was called 924 Turbo GT here, the engines didnt like being turbocharged, but i think people still kept a GT if the had one.
A Porcshe 944 is begining to be exoensive, A turbo crazy expensive, but BMW M3 is also very exoensive tiday, anything M really.
Those wv bases SUVs dont counts as porsches i think, i understand they sell alot if these bullshitcars on the name only.
The Boxter may be the new 911, as its mid engine Porsche can build a more refined cas out if it.
More suVs ir fourdoor cars fir mistly USA will kill the brand i think.
Buy a friggin VW Touareg instead.
But now a Lamborghini SUV, i get that americans have rhe money but building cars for their taste will not be good in the lobg run, nobody in Europe almost wants american cars at all, now destroying even the sportscars i dont know.
Theres a reason nobody buys american ordinart cars here, rhey sucks.
I like how he say englush and australuan as different kanguages:-)
Still really nice car, good to see.
I have owned 6 Porsches from a 57 coupe to an 87 944. In between I had a 58 Speedster, an 80 924, an 87 912, and an 87 911. The one I disliked the most was my 1980 924. Especially after it got drowned in a typhoon in the Philippines.
That’s the cooking I personally like about Porsche you wouldn’t have to worry about parts, it’s universal, everyone knows Porsche, same with BMW. Compare to a Ferrari, or Lamborghini, or any unique exotic cars it be hard to repair. I like to repair cars.
Magnus is so awesome. Looks like a rock star but is just a regular old Porsche nerd. 😆
Having hair like that while working on engines with fanbelts, pulley's etc seems like a bad idea

Occupation No Occupation :)
Magnus Walker- impossible to listen to or Watch......8min 12sec I'll never get back.
>some rich hipster says: "porsche 924 is a good car", camera man takes a few shots like just a regular day with my 924, check it out guys with some post-punk junk music at the background
10/10 great vid
If you want to see how potent this platform really is, look at Automobile Magazines 1989 Porsche 944 Turbo S vs. a 911 Turbo article. Spoiler, the 944 proceeded to slap the 911 like a little bitch around a track. Respect this platform for its roots were planted at Le Mans.
When you view a car as a Christmas tree ornament... not a single word/view re mechanicals/history/performance... shame.
924/944/S2/Turbo/968 are fucking underrated period.
There an Automobile article from 90 where a 944 Turbo was pitted against a 911 Turbo on the same track. The 944 proceeded to hand the 911 it's ass.
What is it with porche?? Now let me say that porche are serious pieces of machinery i get that but when it comes to looks they are butt ugly! Those personal wheels magnus has look like cheap Lego and they say a boxster engine sounds intoxicating 🤮😱 are you serious??? A v8 engine or v10 or 12 definitely sounds amazing but a boxster i dont think so! Any engine that revs high will sound good but compared to a v8 or higher is what sounds good!! As i said engineering wise they are orsum but besides that there just butt ugly! For me their are 3 things a car needs 1. Looks great
2. Sounds great 3.goes great! Porche only tick one box for me! Except their hyper cars were they use v10s or v8s!! For me the only porche i would buy is a 918 or carerra gt the rest are just girls cars! Cute little boxes!!! 😎😉
I had a turbo 924. Horrible cars, overpriced new and overpriced now. Bitch to work on because the k jetronic injection and trans in the back. Bought a supra mk3 after that, wayy better car. Was even produced in the same year but really felt like it was from the next century.
I remember driving just a regular 1981 924 and the gearbox felt really spongey was hard to tell if you were even in gear, not at all like normal Porsche 911 gearbox.
There is 1 forsale here in Australia for $5000. I've always loved Porsche a d can never really afford a gt3rs or even a 964 so I'm going to look at this 924 tomorrow. I think I'm in love with the old school look
But at the Mille Miglia he was at the wheel of an SL300...should have been a Carrera 356!
Fantastic guy, very nice video, again.
I really wouldn’t mind a 912, 924, 928, or 944 as long as it isn’t the base trim level. Well I’d take ANY 912 I could get my hands on
