Also, he should really get some nice Heuer timers for his beautiful Porsches or just for the wall of his awesome garage. I did spot one of those 'non-real' Heuer car dash clocks in one of his cars (on his website).. you know, the same sort that was in the Singer Porsche we saw a while back.

I must admit that I share Magnus' philosophy when it comes to items that are worn and have a patina developed over the years, I guess a lot of us vintage lovers do. When he was making the strap for the door card, I was just nodding away going 'yep, completely agree, yep'!! I feel the same way about making my straps.. there is a calm quite pleasure in it, especially when using the really old leather.
