Well made video. Thanks for posting it.
I've changed my mind about taking the Volvo on an errand in the foothills today.

Great flick. I can't wait for the full thing.

It always bugs me to see folks crossing the double yellow line on a curvy road. That is just not necessary, and very unsafe. On curvy roads I always think of the double yellow line as a concrete barrier. I am happy to clip an apex on a track, but never on the road.

I generally agree, but there's a difference between blind corners and curves where you can see oncoming traffic.

I make my wife crazy. I completely ignore lines as long as I have line of sight.

It's likely the road was closed to shoot the footage. I don't see any other cars in most of those shots.

Wow! Jealous or did you forget the green - font?
Just because he has dreads, makes him a pot head? Do you know him? I do.

Hardly. Magnus is one of the most detail-oriented and professional people I've ever met.

I like what Magnus says about Porsche being a brand built on loyalty. That is so true. With issues like head studs, synchro's, ims etc etc, you would think we would'nt buy another. But we do. I guess it's because when these cars are good, they are totally friggin awesome.

fwiw, I read that with green font implied. --HD is on the, let's say, socially liberal side of the road. ...and w/o trying to get PARfy, social liberals don't see any problems with pot. ...soda, yes. ...pot, no. So let's just hope that Magnus isn't some sort of rich, soda-sipping movie maker.

So that was a trailer for a film? Magnus doesn't look a bit different than in '05 when I met him on a canyon run. But his cars look different. He would show up in a somewhat trashed, very fast race car.

I think he had the same pair of jeans on.
