tomo Posted 24August, 2015 Report Share Posted 24August, 2015 An eyewitness account from @porschecollector on IG: I was there when it happened this morning...he didn't hit a guard rail...he slid right into his own trailer! Was giving a test drive to some gal...driving fast...hammered the breaks to avoid oncoming car...slid right into his car trailer. And yes he is fine-Sounds like he did it all for the nookie.

Coastr Posted 25August, 2015 Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 Ro-ro, looks like the physics of a rear engined car again caught up with someone. That right there is an oversteer accident. Damn lucky he didn't split his head open on the corner of the trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiller Posted 25August, 2015 Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 Even with the IG explanation above, how was he moving so quickly as to lose control like that in such close proximity of a large trailer? I cant quite fathom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 25August, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 It wasn't Ashley Madison he was trying to impress was it? I love that car (his favourite too I think), and do like MW's style and collection. What Porsche nut wouldnt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 25August, 2015 Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 Allegedly a vintage Benz caused his high speed lift off. I'm not surprised , those oldskool Benzes would squash a 911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo Posted 25August, 2015 Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 Even with the IG explanation above, how was he moving so quickly as to lose control like that in such close proximity of a large trailer? I cant quite fathom.Colbolt off R/L Rekons:He seams to be running some R compound tire if he hammered or locked up the brakes I don't see any skid marks? If the on coming car was heading the same direction as the trailer and tried passing the driver would have to go way over to the other side of the lane while Magnus had no place to go but into the trailer.

tazzieman Posted 25August, 2015 Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 " was taking his 1971 Porsche out for a bit of drift action in sunny Minneapolis on an empty dealership lot when he tried his best to avoid crashing into classic Mercedes Benz, but instead slid into a truck trailer parked on the lot. " and " And if there’s anything we know about Magnus Walker, it’s that he’ll repair his Porsche with his own two hands" I shoulda been a journalist, because then you get paid for writing this stuff http://artofgears.com/2015/08/24/magnus-walker-crashed-his-1971-porsche-911t/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlitzKonig Posted 25August, 2015 Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 Id also put it down to cold Hoosiers.Why all the hate? Dude is just like the rest of us, loves his car and drives it how it should be driven, just unlucky in this instance... or am I just one of those hipster fan boys?

Coastr Posted 25August, 2015 Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 I don't think anyone is hating on him? More like good natured ribbing that can be done when only egos were hurt. Ask TurboT about it with regards to the lamppost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
