I saw one of the vw vans for sale some time back (it was on the internet so probably within the last 10 years or so). It still had the paint job and the camera mounts. I can't remember where it was but it was stateside. They wanted 5000 which was too much for me at the time.

I wouldn't feel particularly bad about buying a fake rolex, rather my point is that you never know what you are getting in a fake. 200-300 dollars seems cheap compared to a rolex, but they are often the same watches selling for $10.00 in China. Here's a Seiko that goes for a little over $100.00: htt...

Just remember when you buy a "replica" watch you are buying a forgery. Regardless of how they spin it, they are ripping off the manufacturer. I should think that they wouldn't mind ripping off the customer as well. I would suggest a real Invicta or Orient. They won't be identical, but pretty close t...

Can anyone make sense of the floor plan? It looks like they are depicting 2 or 3 stories in one drawing?

6.5 million sounds like a lot but I bet fair market value is more like 10-15 million. Click on sketch to see the floor plan.

I really liked this one. You get to see some different looks at the inside of the estate. The living room off to the left of the entrance and the study straight ahead. I wonder if that shot was really in the estate? It's a long distance (from the front door to the window behind Higgins' desk) and I ...

Magnum's meddling saves Higgins' life. Is this the first time? I wonder why he didn't become more forgiving of him? That's all it would have taken for me. I like trying to figure out the locations more than the flubs. I noticed the Wo Fat restaurant too. I didn't realize it was famous (locally?). I ...

The GMT II now sells for around 6k. The Chronosport was also a very expensive watch. Somehow related to Breitling I think. Look at Invicta for a good alternative. They are a real Swiss company with an extensive line of automatic watches at great prices. Most similar to the GMT (in appearance) are th...

It was said to be on the North Shore right? I know what you mean about the waves too. Of course they did seem to abandon the idea of a 300 acre estate later in the series with all the shots of the road and everything. I think that gets us down into the 40 million dollar range right there. And if we ...

An ambitious proposal

Not as the Anderson Estate, but as it was supposed to be... 300 acres from the sea to the mountains the orchard the guest house the study, library, wine cellar, courtyard, seawall, darkroom, the whole thing the north shore of Oahu perha...

The simon & simon crossover episode. At the end they are returning the cursed idol in TC's helicopter. It falls out of the box and the engine starts to fail. TC says that the mixture was too rich. That would apply to a piston aircraft, but not one with a turbine engine such as tc's.

From season 2 ep. 5 (Memories are forever part 1)

At the very beginning. He's taking pictures of the couple dancing, then decides to take the film out and throw it in the harbor. Almost immediately he picks up the camera and starts snapping pictures of Michelle on the yacht as it passes.

How about at the very beginning. He's taking pictures of the couple dancing, then decides to take the film out and throw it in the harbor. Almost immediately he picks up the camera and starts snapping pictures of Michelle on the yacht. You could also see the microphone in a few shots. One when Col. ...

Thanks,

I though it was something like that. I saw a set somewhere for $50.00. I think I'd just rather get the single season sets.
