A bit more Magnus


Recommended Posts

Well done hugh hot off the Press as they say, but I wonder how he will go? Plenty of Porsche Tuners in London, Might not have his wealth though. And I think he is oridgenally from Yorkshire.

As promised:

 

 

Discuss............................. :ph34r:

 

Watched it this morning... I don't follow Magnus too closely except for Instagram but I feel like I am missing something after watching it?  :wacko:

 

I think the cool thing about Magnus is that he's a good poster boy for us non-typical porsche owners, he breaks that stereotype....I mean I don't live in a suit, I merely dress well for customer appearances & date nights, I often socialise in working class suburban pubs and wear t-shirts, shorts and thongs on my days off like a surfie bum  :lol:

LAME: London, where you couldn't open it up even if you wanted to! Nice city, (top 3 in fact) but not exactly the best habitat to see and hear a Porsche in... think of the difference between that and the industrial backlots or open roads in the hills around LA. Not to mention the whole prodigal son thing! Jeez!

LAME: ...and you're shooting an old 911, in the rain?! Really?!

LAME: ...and at NIGHT when all Ypu can really see is the odd flash of car behind the headlights... in the RAIN... in LONDON?!?!

Whoever pitched that idea doesn't own or have any interest in Porsches...

COOL: Car.

I'm always curious to what other have to say - especially when it comes to this guy......................any other thoughts, feelings.....? 

 

I'll admit I expected more..............maybe my expectations were too high. Whilst I appreciate the effort I just feel like its a bit, well, yes lame or played? At least that turbo vid had that amazing burble on the overrun...............

 

Maybe its time for PFA to show him how its done?  :ph34r:  :D

A Porsche video that doesn't show any Porsches until past the halfway mark is two thumbs down from me.

Watching a car grind around at 20mph between black cabs at night in the rain is not my idea of a Porsche video either. Of course the reason they shot it at night is that is the only time you can't get more than 5 mph in London.

As for Magnus, good luck to him, but it should always be about the cars, and not the people. All his other videos have been about the cars adm driving them. This one looks like an aspiring arts student decided to make a James Bond intro.

Agreed that this is a very ordinary clip. I actually thought (with all that irrelevant crap in the first minute) that it must have been a trailer for something bigger. But alas, no.

I'll gladly say that I really like Magnus's work, and he's a really nice guy (I have met and talked with him), but the blokes doing the clip had no idea about a car enthusiast short film, and the need to 'get the message through' didn't work.

What would Margaret & David have said about it?? :P

You made it to half way??

At some point it stops being an enjoyment and starts being an investigation as to how badly made.

I've been known to sit through shocking movies just to find out if it gets any worse.

That feels like a nice advert for London if you don't mind the crappy weather!

 

Beautifully shot, great accompanying music but lacks any real car content. The novelty has worn off with me and Magnus. I thought he was the bomb when I saw Urban Outlaw.  Now I'm over it.  I even bought one of his key rings :(  its in a box and won't go on my car key.  Anyone want it?  Free to a good home or not so good home!
