Just Met Magnus in NYC
 

I just ran into Magnus in NYC - super cool and friendly guy. A true ambassador for this hobby.

Magnus, have a great evening and stay warm.

Magnus who ?

magnus magnusson ?

You are saying what most people who have met him say.

What was it, chess tournament?

It’s likely easier to sell oil stained ripped jeans, chain wallets and pre worn hipster lumberjack flannel if you are a super cool and friendly guy.

Could you imagine a total A hole trying to sell that stuff? It’s marketing, buy it.

Are we due for another thread to bash this guy? Jealousy I guess? So you don’t like his look, clothes, or cars, fine. But everyone that has met him says he’s a great dude that’s super passionate about Porsche. Personally I’m glad to see someone that’s not part of the wine and cheese crowd get some attention in Porsche circles.

Known him a long time..always a class act.

He's based around here and I met him in our local drives I used to go on more then 10 -15 years ago. He was not famous and no Utube then (I don't think because I never used it?). He was a great guy then and I am sure he still is now. I have not been on those too often lately and have not spoken to him in about 5-6 years. We all judge a book by its cover, but we shouldn't with him. He's cool. I can't say I like his fashion or taste, but hey, I dress like a dork, probably like the rest of you? Tee shirt and shorts.

People kept showing that vid. Why? He likes to drive a little fast then normal, nothing wrong with that. Tell you guys the truth, I live right off that old Pasadena fwy and drive it daily. Therea re so many idiots that are doing 45 on the left lane and you don't past them, you are asking to get in a wreak with them. The normal speed of 60 (55mph is legal speed there) seems like you are flying. I go through that thing at 70 + all the time. I have been doing it since I was 16. LA fwy speed is 15 over when you can, not when its clear. We do have brakes. That has nothing to do with him being a nice guy or not.

The blue Civic won!
