Am I the only one who thinks Magnus Walker is a douche?

[e30rapidic]

He appears arrogant, and also has horrible grammar skills.

he should fit in with this forum then...

A few years back I watched one of his self-produced clips about him and his cars. Midway through it switched gears and focused more on his clothing than the cars. Bait and switch. I am not a clothing enthusiast so I don't really care about this persona.

He started and owns "hot topic" the clothing company..that's what made him his fortune. On top of that, now he gets paid by Porsche to do events. He's winning..that simple

Never heard of him but I'm glad no one was seriously injured and he didn't take out any other classics. There are still some things money cannot buy.

How many here actually know Magnus Walker?

Me and my pops worked with him since my high school days. Way before he was any kind of hype & to be honest he's been the same exact dude I've known since years back. Yea he's throwing his weight around more but that probably comes with the territory? The ridicule towards him is nothing new however. I know a few OG vintage racers that swe him as a homeless bum(dont want to throw names around).

As for the crash I dont think it'll be a huge hit to him, maybe mentally if anything. Now that I think of it he is the epitome of an "LA" driver.

Are you guys blind or something? There were three speed bumps right on the exit of that corner. Both of his driver side tires poped. I mean, come on r3v, it's a blessing he didn't slide it into a crub. After all, Porsche and volswagen are pretty much the same thing.

What I find funny is on social media he continued to post pictures of the car in an non wrecked state even though it was wrecked. He still hasn't posted a pic of the crashed car only the truck he hit

[mariano_is_my_hero]

I never really cared for him, but whatever. Then around 2 months ago I saw him on the Petrolicious Rally and he was driving extremely reckless and around a lot of very expensive cars. I bitched about it and nobody seemed to care much.

Then today I read this...

I watched a Ted Talk from him. Was basically "follow ur dreams brah fk the haters dude". He got a lucky break and met some business connection in LA iirc. Before that he was what the people in his home country would refer to as a "bogan". Never knew he was into Porsches, and idk if he is a douche, judging by that public road driving he is one.

the passenger never got injured it was magnus
