Have you guys ever seen anything on a normal road (or anywhere) nowadays that reminds you of Magnum?

Today I saw some street called Hue Hue Road. Very interesting coincedence I was thinking about playing the Magnum Moblie game at the same time.

'Round here there's a few street names that remind me of Magnum PI, Higgins Rd & Apollo Dr are a few. Also there's a local guy that drives around in an older Audi 5000, I pass him everyday on the way to work.

And when ever it's sunny and I put on my Aviators that makes me think of it too.

Whenever I'm at a baseball game and spot someone wearing a Detroit Tigers cap and wonder if they are a Detroit fan, a Magnum fan or both.

When we drove down the "Eucalyptus Tunnel" on Kauai, I thought it looked like the scene through the trees in the MPI opening seqquence (but it's not).

When someone says, "Oh . . . my GOD!!"

When someone says, "Hi, guys . . . . "

And, hey, have you seen the "HorseMax" version (rather cute) of "CarMax" commercials? The customer at the end looks like TS with his Jesse Stone and A.J. Cooper Van Dyke beard . . . .

There's someone that lives about a mile down the road from me that has a red ferari. It's usually under a car cover, but I've seen him out on the road a few times over the past 4 years. I haven't gotten a close enough look to see if it's a 308, but it sure looks just like it. I get a warm fuzzy feeling on those rare occasions I see it out on the road.

When I used to live on the French Riviera, there was the coastal road leadind from Cannes to Monte Carlo that reminded me very often of some aerial shots we get to see from TM in his Ferrari.
Then I moved to Portugal, living on the ocean front very close-by a very famous lighthouse that reminded me again of the famouse shot of TM driving by the lighthouse.

It's funny this should be mentioned, as across the street from me over the last couple of days there has been a van with 'T.C. Builders' on the side.

Guess ol' Theodore Calvin is branching out!

This is a great topic, Jay.

Whenever I go to the bank's safe deposit vault, I think of the Carol Burnette episode "Rembrandt's Girl".

Of course, whenever I see a red Ferrari that resembles a 308, I think about the Mag...

Sometimes a hotdog with chili or a box of Fig Newtons will remind me of MPI.

Whenever I see an old gum shoe type in a movie I think of Luther.

I agree. Whenever I see a Detroit cap, my first thought is "Tigers or Magnum?"

BTW, I am due for a new ball cap. I usually wear the cap of a major league team until it falls apart. I'm thinking of getting another Tigers cap. Had one back in the '80's of course!

Another thing that reminds me of MPI: I have Chuck Mangione's "Feels so good" album on my MP3 player. Whenever I listen to it, it makes me think of MPI, the 1980's and a lot of things from my past...
