    Not a huge MW fan but interesting he picked a GT4 and an Espada.

    Not a bad video I must say.
    Some interesting cars and some great street scenes of Rodeo drive and LA too.

    It's been no secret he's been looking for a GT4. I think that's interesting.

    I love magnus! As he said he once had a 308. Thus I believe he focuses more on the espada in this video. If you have been watching this new hagerty series he drove my friends m5 the week before.

    I was a regular on the 911 forum on Pelican Parts when he first introduced his little “home made” video about his cars. It was a slick, professional quality, piece of self promotion served up as “just another 911 enthusiast”. Then came the obligatory brand. Urban Outlaw. Right. He has good taste in cars and is an amazing promoter but I find the whole Urban Outlaw business just pretentious. Just my opinion.

    I’m the owner of the GT4. My first step into the Ferrari world.

    Thanks for the compliment! The car was silver/red when I bought it a few years ago. I took the door panels off and discovered... no silver! Not sure when it was resprayed but it was cracking and bubbling in spots so I had my paint guy color match the blue and am very happy with it.

    The interior wasn’t bad but certainly had some rough spots and figured I might as well do that while the rest of the car was in pieces. In hindsight I think I should’ve just redyed the leather because it had a great, deep luster to it that you can only get with age.

    Blu sera is my favorite color on a gt4.

    'Cause nobody has these'...exactly. Never thought about it but these are perfect for driving around LA/So Cal. The incog-Fcar! Around here (N of boston) folks have zero idea what these are which is very cool with me-and if they do they've always got some cool story. Also, I'm a big fan of silver/red CC on these but that blue/red is flipping great-

    The silver was a problem for my ego; I can't tell you how many people told me they liked my Delorean. I even overheard one guy walk by with friends and said "yeah man, that's the car from 'Back the Future', it's a [sic] El Dorado." Can't make this stuff up.

    I just purchased a silver gt4 a few months ago, my wife was out walking our dog and a neighbor a few houses away stopped her and asked if her I had gotten a new Delorean. I’m guessing I’ll hear that a few more times. The blue was my absolute first choice, fantastic color on the gt4.

    Congratulations on the acquisition. What’s the interior?

    All black, but I’m going to install a red carpet kit. I’m waiting for some samples from a few vendors.

    This is certainly one of the major appeals of the gt4 to me. While I do like the styling, I think the 2 starter styling is better. But there is a very serious apeal to me simply because the car is just more approachable by coworkers (unlike even just a 348) and doesn't massively stand out on the road. Kind of feels like its as "****** proof" as an f-car can get. I realy realy like that personaly.
