Thursday. A text comes through from my friend Jack. It basically said, "Dude, I'm going to visit Magnus Walker's garage. You coming?" Hell yes I am!

Jack is a huge Porsche guy and after meeting Magnus at a meet and exchanging emails, he somehow persuaded his way in, taking me with.

After arriving at the garage and meeting Magnus, his wife and their dog, the tour began. We came into a medium sized room with a '67 911S, 911 SC and 924 Turbo. He then took us to the real fun, a larger room filled with about 12 911s of various vintage, including 5 930s. It was breathtaking. I nervously asked if it would be alright to take pictures, and when I got the go ahead, went crazy. I'll try to let the pictures speak for themselves, but I've got to say that Magnus Walker was one of the nicest guys. He was happy to chat cars and show off his incredible collection. I love that he actually drives them and makes a point to take care of them.

So if you ever read this, thanks so much.

And sorry for the low lighting in the photos, the garage was quite dark.

This car is something special. It's 1/15 right hand drive 930s.

Parts. Parts everywhere.

Wood rimmed wheels.

A beautiful, clean 924 Turbo!

There were TONS of spare parts, including engines, gearboxes, and at least 15 sets of Fuchs.

Just waiting to be driven.

I'm surprised Magnus isn't draping his beard over his license plates so the whole of the internets can't steal hid identity. /s

One question I've always had about Mister Walker is what does he do to earn money? To my understanding he does not sell the cars he builds. So how did he come across the wealth needed to build all these fantastic cars?

Look at his Ted talk. He started a clothing brand

My dad has an SC, if I were to get a 911 I would like the blue 930 with bronze wheels.

I figure I'm capable of making ugly clothes. Sounds like I've just found my million dollar idea.

This was some incredible stuff. His collection of 911s is something anyone should be jealous of. Thank God he drives them too, which makes it all the more special.

Fun fact: they're also arranged from back to front in 3 rows based on least to most driven. The entire middle row is 930s.

I am just all sorts of jealous right now! Awesome pictures too, the low light adds to the awesome I think.

Thanks! I was incredibly worried they wouldn't turn out well because, well, it's not like I can just go retake them.
