Magnus let a documentary crew film his place... I think we are all familiar with it, but this is the first I'd learned that there is an abandoned rail line into the alley behind it

just a few of the collection for sale at https://santogallery.com/collections/magnus-walker-series via https://www.thegentlemanracer.com/2021/02/santo-gallery-x-magnus-walker.html

the 914 in the Mobil One booth, probably belongs to Magnus Walker, came from some previous owner who was in the Air Force on Buckley Air Force Base 15 years ago

Momo Steering wheels... did you know that these have become collectors items? Created by race car driver Gianpiero Moretti, the company specialized in steering wheels, and had a "signature series" with individual input from exceptional race car drivers, like Lauda, Andretti, Ickx, and Stewart. Magnus Walker is the 1st non racer to take part

as you can see by comparing, there are personalized variations to the basic design

Magnus did a TED talk, explains where he started and how he got here

Here is the trailer for Urban Outlaw



and here is the movie that he and Tamir did (and I just realized I had posted it in Feb 2012 http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/11/urban-outlaw-movie.html )

two car guys appreciating each others performance rides. Magnus Walker and Sung Kang

"Although it was meant to be a Porsche-only affair, Bruce took the rod along after Magnus had seen some pictures and figured it would be cool to mix things up."

update, Mar 1 2016, StiffSpeed Steve told me to check out a story on RetroRides, and this owner, Bruce, was telling his story about going to buy a car, when his Land Rover was hit... it's this one

Doesn't look much, but the Vectra had pulled out of a side turning just as I was coming down the main road. I didn't even see it coming, she hit me square on the rear quarter and shunted the Land Rover sideways across most of the lane (luckily there was a chevron area to my right, otherwise I'd have been pushed into the oncoming traffic)

I'd already pulled forward in the shot, just to get my car off hers. The damage doesn't look much but it's completely twisted the rear tub, buckled the rear wheel and bent the body mounts. Plus the axle then started to leak inside the hub/brake drum.

I was due to fly out in less than a week and I wasn't going to let a thing like this stop me. That was until I woke up two days later in a lot of pain. Something had been twisted in my back and it took a couple of days for it to show itself. Doctors visit, strong pain killers and a few days later I made the agonising decision to cancel the trip because things weren't looking any better.

Magnus crunched up his favorite 911 into the back of a semi trailer transporter parked in a NO PARKING ZONE... in Minneapolis. Looks like damp roads, 15 mph zone through the S curve, and a bit too much speed. That's not the dry hot California roads he's used to!

the reporter riding with him acts like it scared the hell out of her. Magnus was in Minneapolis to promote the opening of the Porsche dealership http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/news/a26477/magnus-walker-porsche-911-crash/

Just try to figure out one thing... why was the trailer parked on a road that is a NO PARKING ZONE it's entire length. Taking up one entire lane of a small 2 lane road, next to the entrance of a parking lot. HEY! DUMB ASS truck driver! use the parking lot to park in!

Learned of this from Jalopnik

and that is why race cars have roll cages

thanks to google street racer view, we can see exactly what the road was like, and that he was coming around a blind corner on Wayzata Blvd

where the trees along the parking lot on the left would have been blocking his view, and he couldn't have seen that some moron parked a trailer on the narrow road, instead of the enormous parking lot on the right

there's the NO PARKING  sign that the trucker was ignoring, one of many as that road has them on both sides, for the length of the car dealerships access road

For the record, there are no speed limit signs in front of the Porsche dealership. HUH! Coincidence? I doubt it.

If you look back down the road Magnus was traveling on, he may have only passed by this single speed limit caution sign
