this car changed my life. I first saw it in the urban outlaw documentary when I was in Uni. every since I have been down the path of working hard to own Porsches lol
Enjoyed that Lee . Saw it at boxengasse a couple of years back … but also remember at Simply Porsche ages ago and being amazed to see in person . Gear change sounded lovely and precise
Hi lee I have an a Porsche 997 gen 1 which I have converted to wide body 4 s spec whilst retaining the 2 wheel drive it has a number of modifications including a 991 exhaust with sport cats etc would you like to do a video of it thanks dave
Lee, I love what you're doing and my next point has nothing to do with you. I just don't understand why people have such a boner for Magnus. 911 owners have been hotrodding their cars decades before he came onto the scene, and he doesn't even build his cars-they are built for him. I'm constantly baffled how a bit of self promotion and his unorthodox (for the generic Porsche crowd) looks got him so well known in this space. Cool, I guess? Just don't understand the appeal.
Most people aren't trying to promote themselves and an image. They own a car, maybe post on a forum or whatever. Magnus has put himself out there. A lot. He does a lot of stuff with old 911s. A lot. And he's easy to remember. His image and to an extent his cars aren't to my taste but It's not remotely hard to understand why he gained the profile he has. Even a "regular" looking guy who had done so much with old 911s would gain quite a profile if they put themselves out there as much as Magnus. Add in his rather particular image and it's all pretty inevitable. I'm not a huge fan of Magnus, but at least he drives his cars and isn't obsessed with having the latest shiny shiny GT car or covering everything in protection film and wanking on about deviated stitching and Rolexes. He's a lot better than a solid 50% of the so-called Porsche community, that's for sure.
What's the difference between putting himself out there and self-promotion? And better than 50% of the Porsche community? By what metric? Not trying to be pedantic-just trying to understand your point.
@@brewskiesbro I'm not pro Magnus Walker. Not that keen on his image or his cars. But at least he drives them and does a lot with them. Most modern Porsche owners are more interested in deviated stitching, covering everything in paint protection film and shiny shiny, status status. I dare say Walker is rather image conscious too, but at least he has some imagination and doesn't just queue up for the latest GT car like everyone else.

Ah, this is awesome! And exactly what positive influence of car culture is all about.
10 years still love it ❤
Love this car Lee - great to see some classic air cooled hot rod action 👌
Looks and sounds wonderful in every way. Nice to see Little Irish leading the way.
Love how the 996 eats it!

Hi lee

More restomod pls. 🎉
Great car
Like the way your 996 pulls away from it though 👌👍
Then there’s something wrong. 275hp/1000kg vs 300hp/1400kg?
Didn't he sell that for $300k at auction?
The blue hood lines are taken from the original colour of the car.
I agree that hotrod Porsches need to exist, but, as the stock of eligible air cooled cars dwindled so has the opportunity to build one.
❤😂😢😅😊 how does one mean machine Porsche I like that a lot I wish that was in my garage with a three to Lear

I like his (literal) story of rags to riches and his cars . But his twisted accent REALLY grates, so can’t watch him! 😂
