AN UNLIKELY VALENTINE

Magnus means “great” in Latin. Like him or not, it’s been hard to ignore Magnus Walker, whose media attention has shone a light on air-cooled Porsches. And that’s contributed to their rise in value over the past five years – for good or for bad.

My photo was made a few days before his “Urban Outlaw” film was released in 2012. Magnus’s wife Karen was in L.A., and they graciously took me to lunch at a nearby restaurant. It was there that his recently departed partner in life revealed a side to the man that went far beyond appearances. My condolences to you, Magnus, on what has to be a difficult day.
