Magnus Walker Momo All Black Prototipo

[Outlaw_singer]

It's good to see some people supporting Magnus. I never understood these 'men' that feel the need to talk **** about him in every thread even slightly related to him. So i guess it tells more about them than about Magnus. I know a few men that have met him and they all agree that Magnus has a great personallity. Some need to grow up...

Flippers and Magnus, two topics guaranteed to generate a multi-page thread full of guys feeling ways about stuff.

Hahaha, exactly...

He is a business man and it is amazing how easily people buy into the hipster market feeding frenzy.

So now this guy (OP) takes advantage of your ga ga Magnus man-crush, buys up a bunch of steering wheels for 350$ and sells them to you for twice that.

Keep spending that money to be hip hipster!

P.S. I think Magnus is a great guy he really is genuinely an enthusiast, his hipster vibe "originality" and accent have a hypnotic effect. He has a genius ability to pour some artistic soul into a car, he's cool, he's hip, I get that. But sheeple, use your own originality, you can scrape up your own MOMO, use some sandpaper, maybe a hammer to put a nick in the metal part, think for yourself.

I suppose I will jump in on this too. I have no problem with MW. I think he has great taste cars and has a budget well beyond mine to make his cars come to life. I think the bashing is probably un called for but so is a lot of the praise. Nearly everything he has done to a 911 has been done before right here on this forum or Early S. Check out the narrow body early hot rod thread. It's now a decade old. I'm pretty sure some of his cars are in it. I think a lot are jealous that he gets so much credit for building cars that are really not a lot different than many here have built. He just has a budget to build a lot of them so it comes off as all his own. A lot of new to Porsche guys admire his vision. I do to. I want his collection. Who wouldn't. They are very cool cars. Would I buy a momo because it has his name on it? Nah. I'm sure he would admit himself that the $750 would be better spent on a vintage wheel with true character. That said, I'm sure there is someone out there who will fork over the dough for this one. At least that's what the OP is betting on.

A true gentleman you are.

Point well made and taken. No need to name call, I just don't like his style.

[shaunmbenson]

Sam N - that I can appreciate. While I do dog his style - I was buying rocker pants from his clothing store long before he was well known - it's definitely not for everyone.

Love my MW Prototipo. It's thick! and looks like the rest of my 40 year old interior!~

I bet we will see these wheels hit 1k before it's all over.

I thought Magnus was British, is he actually Australian?

Never heard of the OWOW brand.

Maybe the inverted picture is a sly zinger aimed at the infamous, parked truck incident?!?!?

As in O WOW, WTF happened here !?!?

[Ronnie's.930]

^^^

Exactly . . . or is that yltcaxe!?!?

Envy is one of the 7 deadly sins. Better get to church, hater.
I like magnus. He was very friendly and I like his build style. It's great to be successful in what you love.

I second that as Magnus is a top notch fella & he has been very instrumental in the recent interest of older 911's. We should all be patting him on the back rather than having negative things to say about him.

If you don't like what you see then turn the flipping channel !

[Ronnie's.930]

Why all the sensitivity over simple barbs? My experience with "car guys" is that zinger slangin' is the norm. Maybe the Pebble Beach types take offence - no experience with that crowd. I bet Magnus would take the zingers in stride and sling back in kind.

Well... if you look closely there is one of this wheels for sale on rennlist for 350. It's has been bumped a few times.

Nice wheel. Not for me. Not worth 1k today either.

That's because Rennlist guys aren't real 911 owners.

I kid, the 928 board is fantastic!

I like Magnus work but calling him "instrumental" for the interest in early 911s? I don't think so. He simply rode the wave along with all the rest of us. He was just better at it and was able to market himself along the way. No hate here. I wish I could have pulled that off. If anything, the interest in 911s made him. Not the other way around. I think giving him the credit for things like that and calling him an icon are what drives guys nuts here. The market was going up with or without him. Ever peek at his Instagram? If 928s get to six figures now that he's been posting about them, I will be convinced.

I think a lot of fan bois getting the tramp stamp MW logo tattoo are going to regret it in the morning.
