That 911 sounds perfect. I mean seriously perfection. I cant think how one could sound much better. The stance is also awesome with the low down front end.

No Mike, it was me in 87 with the louvres................



Seriously though, the video is well worth watching.

[mycar]

That`s rather nice Ralph.

Mike.

What is that exactly Ralph ?

It was my 1968 VW type 3 Notchback c/w louvres in the back panel and perspex front windows - perspex windows only because I didn't have the cash to buy a 'one piece window kit' and had to make my own!

late 80's , eary 90's ... the best years of the UK VW scene .. everything seemed fresh and achievable. Never did get round to creating a smooth dash with frenched rear lights and scallopped paint job

Ah well, there`s the difference. You had the louvres and the perspex windows... if only you`d had a ridiculous hair do, a lot more money and went around making the devil horn sign with your fingers .... You could have starred in your own movie !!

[Ralph]

I did actually have a ridiculous hair do in 1987!

Nice...........

What's the background on Magnus Walker, I am wondering? Am sure I have seen him on video before racing through LA in the early morning.

Briefly: Magnus Walker is English. Presumably disillusioned, he left Sheffield at age 19 for the USA. Using innitiative he would buy cheap 2nd hand denims and renovate/restyle them and sell them on. This 'get me by' way of earning a crust slowly became a good business.

He's a talented and interesting bloke.
