So you're a Magnum fan? Then what kind of car do you drive?

[308GUY]

Well, when in Hawai'i . . .

NICE!

I thought it might be a Mustang from the hood. The scoop looked too high for it to be a Camaro, but hey, not the first time I've been wrong!

Glad you got to tour the island "in style"!

Should we call you Danno now?

[ConchRepublican]

Nice! I really like the Hawaiian car, for obvious reasons!

Sorry my Texans beat yer Raiders today!

Yeah, rough day for the Raiders. I wasn't expecting a win, but I was hoping for a little magic. It was too big a situation for the kid.

Gotta luv that he as Mrs. Ultimate on shovel duty while he mans the important camera duties for the "historic journal"...........

Someone needs to document history.

We had a Mustang first, a white one was available. When we went to pick it up, the red Camaro was across the aisle ..... we knew what had to be done.

Having driven the Mustang in the Keys a couple if years ago, I'll say I liked that ride better than the Camaro, but the Camaro was in no way bad ....

And if I were Danno, Mrs. Conch would be driving all the time.

The difference between the 5th gen Camaros and the 6th gen is huge. Everything about the new Camaro is in improvement on the previous one. The one I ordered is a 1SS model as my '14 was a 2SS and I grew tires of the "bling" and other useless things that come with the upscale 2SS models. Plus, by going 1SS and 6-speed with standard suspension (no Magnetic Ride Control) I saved $8,000. I am totally in love with this car.

Hey, someone has to take the pics, right CR?

I have a few cars. My closest to being "Magnum" related is my Porsche 928. As most fans are aware, originally Magnum was going to borrow a 928. But the Porsche was not a good car for in car scenes. I'm a 1970's kid and teen in the 1980's. So I tend too collect cars from those decades.

Interesting, I thought it was that Porsche didn't want to participate in the show.

Anyway, my car is a 2003 VW Jetta 1.8T, silver with black interior. It's no Porsche/Audi/Ferrari, but the turbo makes it lots of fun, especially in ~50º dry weather.

Before production began the producers wanted to use a 928. Porsche wouldn't modify the sunroof, make it larger for filming. So they got the Ferrari instead.

Gotcha. Neat, thanks for sharing.

My car is closer to Magnum's than any car here.... Magnum's real car, one he owned rather than borrowed.



Here's mine. (although not a convertible)

Beautiful bug and brilliant response. It's interesting to remember that actually [img]purchasing[/img] a Ferrari is probably the most un-Magngum like thing one can do.

Thanks. I always "downshift and accelerate when I pass the guest house". Actually, I don't have a guest house... yet. (but I'll build one eventually)

Yes, it's strange when you remember that most of the great things that Magnum has weren't really purchased by him. He didn't buy the Rolex - it was a gift. He borrows lenses, cameras, tape players. Probably the most expensive thing he actually bought is the surf ski. (not counting Ferrari "wind screens", rear bumper, and replacement telephoto lens he didn't actually need to replace )

As the great Mel Tillis said in Cannonball Run ... "p..p..p..p..perfect"

Unfortunately, my Bug has started rusting to hell since I got my beach front "Estate". As Higgins said in "Holmes Is Where the Heart Is", "corrosion works very quickly in this climate". If only I had used cadmium yellow primer...

Did you see the sunrise? My Bug did.
