Not hearing much about Magnus Walker these days
 

Is he still doing his thing?

He did a bunch of videos for the Hagerty channel on YouTube recently.

I follow him on Instagram, along with his GF.

He still does Porsche but now has branched out to other marques and hints at what he thinks is the next big thing. Pretty cool to watch. Has an older Rolls Royce and also sings the praises of Ferrari 360 Modena.

"The Next Big Thing", pretty good from what I had seen anyway. One my favs.

^^^That was a strange video. I kept FF'ing to find where he was going to mod the car since he said it was grossly underpowered by today's standards. Nothing but showing what it's like to drive around NYC likely at 3 am on a Sunday.

Then he disappears down a staircase to a basement establishment. I must have skipped over the part the helped make sense of the 'production'.

I hope he is doing well. I can't imagine losing a long term partner like that.

Who did he lose?

His GF is Hannah Elliott who is a journalist for Bloomberg. She writes some really good stuff on cars.

that's the way I like it... For a while you could not open a browser without seeing him. I wanted to like the guy but there just was too much exposure... Now it's good... still does hagerty stuff on youtube... not bad.

OK, this is somewhat off-topic, and I admit that I'm being judgmental here, but I think it might be time for Magnus to update his 'look'. That 'I've-been-stranded-on-a deserted-island-for-100-years' thing is getting a bit stale.

'The Next Big Thing'.....they're nearly always already a next big thing by the time he mentions them. He's a bit late to the party.

I just like the car.

Being down under, you are a a day ahead of us in the states.

One of the coolest things about Magnus is that he's the same person he was 20 years ago.

I googled pictures of her. WOW, what a honey. I'd be in love too.

They both came to our store.

Amicable folks.

I kept trying to figure out who was taller minus footwear….

I saw him once a couple years ago some Saturday morning at Newcombs Ranch having breakfast. He was driving the white 277 car. I was on a ride meeting friends for breakfast too. Another time I saw Leno there. Jay was just walking around talking to people. He rode a BMW K1600GTL and wore the same cloths and jacket you see him in his videos.

With Walker I saw the car in the parking lot and had to look around to spot him at a table outside. The car stands out.
