tazzieman Posted 25August, 2015 Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 drives it how it should be driven,What , tail out in a parking lot? That's for hipster dudes not middle aged men with grey hairs.He's a street racer with some silly viral videos (some now taken down) and I wouldn't like to meet the dude on a public road. I might kill him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlitzKonig Posted 25August, 2015 Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 So without this turning into the old "take it to the track" argument. I would agree, that a man of his history with the car, should know better about pushing outside of its limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airhead Posted 25August, 2015 Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 Internet infamy does not make you a good driver.He probably said to the goil - "Hey watch how big a skid I can do" CRUnCH. "Told you it was big." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 25August, 2015 Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 He was very lucky not to end up with a belly full of pulped spleen , rib bits and a torn bowel needing a colostomy. Road trauma is never pretty , and your passenger's family won't forgive stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 25August, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 Yeah, like a trailer in the gob!I'd say the cage saved him severe injury. If it wasn't fitted, I dare say he wouldn't be talking at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomo Posted 25August, 2015 Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 Hot off the press:MAGNUS WALKER AND #277 IN ACCIDENT!8/24/20155:27 ESTFILED TO: PORSCHE ACCIDENTSBY: PEPPER GIRL3 COMMENTSMagnus Walker, and his now iconic #277 Porsche, were traveling today for a rally and grand opening event with Porsche of Minneapolis. Unfortunately, it looks like everyone's favorite Outlaw had a pretty bad day.FORTUNATELY, MAGNUS IS UNHURT!While Magnus made it a point to post that he's okay and #277 can be fixed, it's unclear at this point what happened. Pictures are popping up on Instagram, Twitter and other social medial outlets with bits and pieces of info, but nothing concrete yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 25August, 2015 Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 From what I can gather he was travelling in the right lane, pulled out to go around the trailer, sees Mercedes coming the other way, pulls back into the lane and hits the brakes, back rotates around *crunch*The cage may have saved him but he's still lucky not to have smacked his head on the cage or the trailer - unless he was wearing a helmet? But then this was just lapping a carpark so I doubt he had a helmet on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 25August, 2015 Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 Web snippets..."I work for the electrical contractor that did the new dealership, onsite electrician said he was drifting around the lot, then crashed. Grand opening soon" "Magnus was giving thrill rides to a number of people, that is one of the reasons he was there. Most of his passengers were dealership employees or attractive females.I did not see the crash, I only heard the Porsche screaming through the gears, the tires screeching for several seconds and then the crunch" OK , typical behaviour of an irresponsible18 year old . And in full view of the public. Sorry , but he's a dick no matter what country you live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike737 Posted 25August, 2015 Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 No 1 priority. Make sure it is safe to drive under the conditions. Obviously the conditions were not being controlled and resulted in what happened. Cut corners and pay consequences. I'm sure we've all made similar mistakes, but since this seems to be at an event where his surroundings could have been controlled... why the f was the merc allowed in his path.

tazzieman Posted 25August, 2015 Report Share Posted 25August, 2015 Someone will have footage that will bring a pretty ransom! Surely there are security cams around the new dealership.He won't have any friends in the constabulary , what with the hooning vids he posted. Tut!

MB911 Posted 26August, 2015 Report Share Posted 26August, 2015 Like most incidents the truth is always somewhere in the middle,ask 10 people what happended and you'll get 12 accounts of the same incident Whow knows..... We've all been there, pretty girls, fast cars, mistakes are made. I am sure that alot of us (me as one) have damaged cars in crashes that could have been avoided.I cut the guy some slack, my understanding is that the area was closed for the event so it's not like he was going crazy on a public road...With Magnus's profile and promoting of LA you will probably find he has a few freinds in the right places, the yanks love promoting their Cities. If the LAPD has a major problem with him they would have shut him down by now, they don't muck around and they are nowhere near as hamstrung as we are in the job here.
