He ordered it then, just confirming he ate it. The #3 price went unaffected sadly.

I've met Magnus a few times, seems like a super nice guy.

Probably selfish on my part, but I like the fact values of 996's are what they have been. It has allowed me to add a Porsche to my garage with out having to have a reluctant sale of another car to make a purchase possible.
I considered a 996 turbo because of the issues and reputation of the M96 engine. But instead I chose a decent '99 coupe with the intentions of an engine rebuild, then I would go through the suspension, brakes etc. as needed myself.
Presently the car is at Flat6 Innovations getting a 3.6 Stage 1 rebuild including the IMS Solution.
I welcome the criticism which has caused the undervaluation of these cars. They've given me a gift!
I also own an SRT6 Roadster, another undervalued car due to the same thought process of car snobs. This car has been the best bang for the buck purchase I've ever made!

Shhhhhh!!! Don't you know that Jake Raby doesn't do "rebuilds" and doesn't like the sound or connotation of that word? And, saying that word too much will cause him to open up a can of 50 cal. canon kick *** on some poor M96 engine in his back yard?

Ok, say this calmly.. "R e c o n s t r u c t i o n"

yay!

Congrats on the 996 purchase.

"I also own an SRT6 Roadster"

not an attractive car.

Magnus is cool; I'm glad he finally woke up and added a 996 GT3 to his fleet. (He probably saw me driving mine and said "sweet, I need me one of them")

I personal don't know Magnus, so I can't say if he's cool or a total dbag, however I enjoy watching his videos and his narration of the early 911 experience. I like his taste in vehicles although I believe he is lacking in personal hygiene amd grooming standards

In related news, Magnus Walker, Texas Ranger was cancelled after three episodes. It turns out that Chuck Norris with dreadlocks driving like a bat out of hell to various Cars & Coffee events meets the needs of no known demographic.

This is accurate. However, if you like Porsches and insist on referencing Magnus Walker more than twice a month - slam your testes repeatedly in the dishwasher door.

(changed to "twice" so I don't have to go visit the dishwasher door)
