Hawaii - Roll Call

[Mahalaleel]

... welcome to the 50th State. As far as I know, fporro and I are the only Hawaii members. Oddly enough, we both have Euro bumper-converted cars -- mine's a nice white 325is w/an M3 interior; his is an early gray convertible with some uber-cool under-the-hood tweaks.

Anybody else call Hawaii home?

Does yours have a any stickers on it? I saw a very clean white E30 in a cul-de-sac I drove down a few weeks ago when I was driving around Oahu.

I would dread being an enthusiast in that Honolulu traffic though. Low speed limits everywhere, tons of traffic. A Tesla would be ideal I think, not like you're going to go on any road trips over 200 miles. On the other hand, the sites are beautiful on the highways.

Aloha from Oahu. ;)

AinaDude, Im thinking of Vidal Car Service on Waipahu for paint-jobs, he quoted me 2500 for quality work and does tons of VW's, ghias etc.

Hi Frank ... just got off the air and saw your message. Re Vidal, haven't heard of him but I can ask Tony and Albert if they know anything (they recommend a guy on Kapahulu). How are things up at your place? ... still would love to use your driveway sometime if the coast is clear ... :)

Ill be moving to Oahu in 3 weeks, and will be there for 3 years... so whats the deal with the e30 crowd out there?? I need a good body shop and some upholstery stuff for my 92 vert when it arrives over there...

Hi Karl ... I'm a friend of fporro's. Re upholstery, I've worked with a Korean guy named David who runs a place called Golden Upholstery for 20+ years. Good guy -- reasonable and does great work (his shop -- which is a couple blocks east of downtown -- is typically filled with nice German cars on any given day).

Can't be much help with a body shop as I am looking for one now myself.

Anyone in Maui want to let me rent one for a few days in July while Im out there on my honeymoon?

Hey howzit? I'm picking up my 2nd E30 from Ken's shop out in Kailua this Thursday. So excited to get back into a Bavarian after not having one for a year!

I spent only a week in Oahu and saw three E30s. They are out there.

Been on the island for 6 days now and the only thing close to an old BMW has been this really clean e36 that was even sporting a Bavarian Autosport sticker, until I just caught this clean looking e30 about 10 minutes ago! Too bad I'm on a tour bus and couldn't stop to check it out, will be doing so in the next few days im here though

Funny that this thread was bumped to the top, I actually just landed on Oahu and am Waikiki bound! Hoping to see some old bimmers kicking around

[fporro]

Old Thread.
Just happened to come across it now. Funny though, met these members in person already.
I guess just not enough members for a Hawaii region. Like this site much more than bimmerforum.

Welcome to the islands, theres some e30 heads around: )
