MW inspired Carrera

Another way to justify the price?

They should state in the description that there is no heater.

Not a true Magnus Walker tribute until the outside door handles are filled with drillium...

I guess I'll have to pass.

(Would Magnus own a Targa?)

While I don't think MW does anything out of the ordinary, it still takes a bit of thought and taste to come up with something that looks like a car he built. Haha. A bunch of random paint and stickers isn't going to do it. A lot of bla bla in that ad, i.e. what has been done to the engine.

Interesting. Just because you can...

Did anybody else notice the missing disc shields on the front brakes?

Common track mod. It is better for cooling, but worse for rubber on ball joint and tie rods ...

Totally agree, I'm not a fan of the Magnus look but at least it is cohesive. There are some decent bits here but no consistent theme. Also, who the hell deletes the climate controls but not the radio?

That car hurt my eyes too much to look at it very long. Not my tastes, but it must be someone's dream car. I always wonder why someone would go to all that work to make a car with no heater or air conditioner and customize a car to that extent and then turn around and sell it. How long did he drive around in his vision of a car?

It would be expensive to put back on the climate control equipment and make it a car one can really drive.

Different strokes for different folks. That is different. I will NOT say it was or is wrong, just not my style at all. Fortunately other people have different tastes.
