A stanceworks photo shoot from the LA Auto Show timeframe doesn't mean it's running because it wasn't running back then...

"The car is not running yet as we have more work to do. It will come back here for us finish up and tune it on an engine dyno. "

I'm curious if why there is this long delay to get the car running at 100%, would be interesting if BBi could explain whats lagging this. I doubt Magnus is just content looking at it sit in the garage after all the work.

The car was built quickly towards the end to get in done in time for an exhbition. I'd suspect it's scheduled in for completion, it seems it just needs a map and fine tuning.
Think he get's his Porsche fix in many ways without posting on forums, anymore. That said, it's tactful not to interact too much and let people do their talking. It's technically called passive marketing...

^^ thanks for the business lesson...
There are plenty of "famous" people posting on the information superhighway (thanks al gore!) What's passive about Instagram Twitter ect? I would think if magnus chose to use rennlist as a marketing tool he could. Marketing aside, it's another way to connect with like minded enthusiasts. Going by what he says in interviews isn't that his goal anyway? Hell cj wilson posts in several areas of rennlist. I don't think anyone makes a fuss about it.
I'm not trying to call him out of the dark. It's not like he's some reclusive, quite the opposite in fact. It would be interesting to have him contribute to the 964 forum though. One could argue by the timing of his Instagram post he's lurking anyway. Which, getting back to my ordinal post, was the comment I was making. Nothing more, nothing less.
Back to the car... He's posting pics on Instagram. Does it run? It's one hell of a build to not see to completion. I'd be losing sleep until that car was properly dialed in.

Car is not running yet. It has more work to be done.
