Images of Magnus 964 starting to appear - I see it has a whale tail (oooh-no Magnus is going to make whale tails fashonable again.........)
Give it a few years and a few more cars to come through, and Doug, JMc and Warwick will all want spoilers - I see Doug is already on the slippery slope with those little chin numbers, next he will need some rear end aero??

I haven't kept up with what Magnus is doing since he became over exposed. I lost interest when he started pumping the publicity.
The 964 looks a bit of an abortion to me. Cut vents over fenders and creased roof panel would have been nice artistic cues 5 years back but now look like they are following 991 GT3RS design cues. As for fixed spoiler...well most know my position on that one - especially with the narrow rear flanks of the 964 which are delicate and benefit from nothing at all or at most a little ducktail flick. Not a fan of adding bright work to 964 gen either. All that said will try and keep an open mind but for now I'm not convinced he's scored a bulls eye.

True, look out for the 911 T @ 2:40 The Big Chill - Heard It Through the Grapevine - YouTube
How young were those actors then aye! I just love the non restored "Patina'd" 911T look in that movie. Bit like that 356 video out recently. It like I love that SC floating around PCNZ with the rear lid look rusty like its been on fire and put out. The quicker those with new paint jobs can get them all patina'd up the better I reckon and its conducive to using the car too for its intended purpose so a win win. Its also rebel when everyone is going those up because of their value then garage queening them. As a non conformist I approve!
Having the 10 year old clear film taken of the 993 in a few weeks time before the track work at the Festival. I regret putting it on in 2005 when the car was repainted. Its gone soft, looks horrible but now it will be removed all that hard work Ive done in Targas and on back roads and track to chip up the rest of the bonnet will look odd with the first 40cm of the hood looking new and same with the upper part of the bumper. I may have to fill those little chips in with paint to reset the look and then go driving up the bump of someone with R comps for a while :-)

John, you were onto it. That channel is creating addicts in search of a fix. Was doorstopped at the Drury BP just now by a guy in love with my beast after he saw a pastel or champagne yellow 356 on Discovery Turbo yesterday. He was nice in asking to take photos and said he'd decided just yesterday that a yellow Turbo was his dream car, so I had him try the driver's seat out for size too. All very quick but the lady at the counter was still amazed at the attention it got...

Damn John, that took me back 25+ years just before my morning smoothie (Jo has Nutra Bullet now so every morning breakfast is a slimy concoction of obliterated solid foods, nuts and berries, in a variety of colours resulting in various hues. Today's was Pink which bodes better than Green I can tell you...). How young were those actors then aye! I just love the non restored "Patina'd" 911T look in that movie.

Buggar - I was planning on buying you Magnus socks and after-shave for Xmas.
I share your view on Magnus product line.
He nails long hoods, I don't mind his IB's - but not convinced on the 964 based on these photos either??

Magnus gets a bit of stick these days but you gotta admire the guy and he keeps himself above and out of the negativity.
At the end of the day he is no different to any of us: Promoting ones self, services or products to make a living.
