Looks like that could have ended up a lot worse (especially if you like Pagodas).
Let's be careful out there, boys and girls.

Hmm the matted-haired one showing off to a lady journalist and crashes one of his vehicles into another of his vehicles. Silly boy. Glad the loading ramp wasn't halfway down.

That's some shocking driving.

It's so poor on so many levels it's scary......

Interested to see how he handles it PR wise, bound to put a big spin on it :lol:

I hope she gave him a right ear bashing.

Since it happened he's been posting away on Facebook about all the cars he's driven in the last few days with no mention of it.

Good eye for design and self promotion does not mean good driving skills.

This is America, folks: wonder if the journalist will now try get some $$ to help ease her "banged up and bruised" state.

Sarcastic comments aside, he's a very lucky boy that the trailer lift didn't decapitate him

ETA for it being back on the road is about 5 weeks.

I can't say much, but don't expect it to be exactly the same style when it resurfaces. The damage has meant he's able to change things beyond the previous expectation to keep the car 'as is' due to it being percieved as the Magnus Walker car.

We've all done silly things, probably been a bit over zealous with our driving once or twice and none of us are perfect. Easy to criticise from behind the computer screen.

Plus better video half way down on this link with the news report side of things……….she doesn’t sound impressed

Silly bugger. Could so easily have been a Walker double. Fortunately the Pagoda survived.

It's also easy to blow smoke up someones arse.

From viewing the video it's easy to criticise it from wherever the hell you are.....behind, infront or slapping your dick against the computer screen while watching that shambles.

A number of us regularly drive like dicks and if we'd have done what Magnus did we'd expect to be called one and it would be justified.

Although I'm guessing most of us don't do it with a female passenger, nor do we miss a bloody huge trailer (that happens to be the one you brought the bloody car on) parked on your side of the road in clear view.....no doubt where it was parked 10 minutes earlier.

Who really gives a shite when it will be rebuilt or what it will look like other than his huge band of sad sycophants....
