Enjoyed your post Lemnefresh.
Welcome to the best place to be if you are an MPI fan but not actually in Hawaii or even the Pacific specifically.

Welcome to our Virtual Estate Kona Winds, glad you found us!! Too bad you missed out on the Estate while you were there as it's been unfortunately torn down. There is a great thread here: https://www.magnum-mania.com/Forum/view ... ?f=1&t=285 to re-live it, member Pahonu has made excellent contributions to it. At least we still can swim in the tidal pool!Kona Winds wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 2:24 pm Hi everyone,
Just stumbled on this great site and knew I had to join up immediately.
I was a teenager during the 1980's and remember watching MPI with my Dad every week in New Zealand. I have recently rediscovered my love for the show through reruns on Foxtel in Australia and it's like I've been transported back to the 80's! Sure, some of the plots, acting, and production values may be lacking compared to todays shows, but for pure entertainment and escapism, MPI is timeless and uplifting.
I was lucky enough to visit Hawaii about 5 years ago and drove a convertible Mustang from downtown Waikiki around the east coast up to the north shore and back to Waikiki, but somehow I completely forgot to seek out and look for the location of Robin's Nest!
Anyway, glad to come onboard and look forward to playing a small part in keeping the magic of the original MPI alive.
Such a shame about the destruction of the Estate, it should have been preserved as a cultural iconConchRepublican wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 3:46 pmWelcome to our Virtual Estate Kona Winds, glad you found us!!

Welcome to the site. You'll find more information here than you can read in a year. We're a diverse group, but some of that geographic distribution has been lacking in recent years. But we've certainly had Kiwis and Aussies here over the years. Great to have some southern hemisphere representation.Kona Winds wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 2:24 pm Hi everyone,

Thanks for the kind welcome. I've only just started working my way through the "Robin Masters Estate" thread so looks like I've got quite a lot of catching up to do!Styles Bitchley wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 4:25 pmWelcome to the site.

I have a soft spot for NZ, having spent time there and some good friends and family connections. One of the most lovely places on earth...right up there with the Hawaiian islands.
Thanks for the welcome. The watch party sounds like a great idea, I'll definitely check it out.
Welcome!
Cheers!
