Thumbs up Magnuson speaks about forced induction and emissions for the future.

Magnuson speaks about forced induction and emissions for the future.

I have an audio track from this week when I met up with Jerry and Maureen Magnuson at the Ventura Auto Sports Gathering in downtown Ventura Ca. on 7-20-08. Rather then just post up the mp3 I added some magnuson factory pictures to it and made a video.
He knew I was recording but I didn't want to just stick the camera in his face the whole time so I put it down and just let him talk (he seemed more fluent and relaxed that way) They are great people, really nice to talk to. Maureen invited me for a personal tour of their facility....and make no mistake... I WILL be going.

It's kinda interesting to hear what he believes the future holds for his company.
You are of course all welcome to discuss.

I WOULD appreciate it if we could keep it on topic and civil...please.

Thanks in advance,

Wm Holden

Is this a typo?? If its not its faster then any times I've seen on this forum or dragtimes. I've seen no mention of this on the E55 page. I'm sure they would be interested.
