Hawaii - Roll Call

[Grif]

Look forward to... maybe seeing you.

I'll be in Germany all December.
Dude bump this when you get here! :p

hope, It's what I have

Aloha, looking like the first part of December my girl and I will be headed for Island life. She is a Nurse and has been ground down to my constant pleading to move to Hawaii so that I may surf. I was a firefighter in Colorado but was laid off sooooo. She agreed to a 3.5 month traveling nurse contract so I would shut up. Anyway I usually go to the N. shore for a month every year anyway, three and half months, fuck yea bra. I was thinking of shipping one of my E30s and would love to shoot the shit and wrench with some locals as my cousin is the only person I know on the N. shore. Fuckin love it there, girl 50/50 on island life, we shall see how that goes. Can't wait, it's getting cold and shitty snow here in land locked high alpine hell (Colorado).

Kenika, that is unfortunately on another island. By the look of the sign, it's the Big Island.

Grif, my car looks like shit. But it wasn't built to be pretty. It was built to go. As for where to meet, i'm new here. I have no idea.

BTW are there any pull your own part type junkyards on the island?

HAH.
I wish. :(

But, there is a constant stream of E30's on craigslist being parted out. Almost abnormal. But otherwise, this island has no space for junkyards. Safest bet is craigslist.

Anyway, so you've only been on island for like what, a little more then a week? Where do you live on island?
For meetups we could suggest the generic, beach of course. (Thats what every car related meetup does here) North Shore (Haleiwa, Pipeline, Sunset, all that shit) or East coast (Sandys, Cockroach, Lighthouse, Makapu'u) I prefer the East Side. The drive never gets old and there's plenty of open parking lots. Then there's always Jack in the Box... and the millions of self serve yogurt bars. (Thats where VTECH fanboys meet up basically. Same thing on the mainland, but here worse so. You see, there's an abundance of Filipinos who don't know anything but how to throw money at things.)

Anyway, don't listen to the guys with island fever. Sure the island is crowded, but is it any more so then anywhere else? :???:
Honestly, you'll only get bored if you have a closed mind. Be open to other things, besides beach and hikes. There's more to Hawaii then that..
You'll find the Waikiki strip to be ENDLESSLY amazing. It doesn't look like much if you're just walking through, but every attempt you make to explore, will not leave you disappointed.
While you're here, the best, absolute best thing you can do is try and learn to embrace the island lifestyle. (If you haven't noticed by now, IT IS INSANELY DIFFERENT) Just relax. Things move slower. The weather is always nice. EVERYBODY is friendly (given respect of course... don't go messing with some tick guys expecting them to treat you with respect. But people like them are usually your best friend or your worst enemy. Social issues run deep in the culture here, but tolerance also runs deep. It's very androgynistic)
Just enjoy it here. Eat plate lunches. And the second you start being critical of the island, well that just means you failed at life. It's not such a bad thing to have limited resources, and higher prices on food. Consider it to be a "Best beaches in the world" tax.
People save up their entire lives just to visit here for a day. And hey you live here.

If you have a family and are still looking for a place to live, seriously, look no further then Mililani. You will not be disappointed.

Also, if any of you have heard of Coffe and Cars or some gay shit like that, I am trying to bring a program called EuroSunday to the island. It's a hell of a lot better and free (I have heard CnC costs money). Will be trying to get it up and going by the first of the year.

Here is the official site.

https://www.eurosunday.net

You can't view without registering. However, I assure you that you will get no junk mail. I know the owners, they don't sell your info, they just send you a news letter once a month. And it's actually a decent read.

Opinions?

BTW, registered for that. Shit would be awesome if we got it going around here.

[Grif]

^ Sounds good to me.

BTW, we saw an E30 M3 pulling into the Auto-X at Aloha stadium this morning. It was a clean Delphin Graü. Has anyone seen this car around?

Don't know about that car. (Aren't there only like 5 of them on the island?)
I know the guy who owns a VERY mint Alpine E30 M3 in Mililani. Has Hamann rims. He scored it for only 2.5k. The guy he bought it from didn't know what it was. (sigh) Unfortunately.. It was abused street racing and what not and he destroyed that S14 /facepalm. (He just graduated High school)

Don't know what he's doing with it now.

Anyway, I say we give ourselves some time to spruce our cars up before we have something. (in other words.. my car is in a million pieces right now.) Don't want to have a meet with a bunch of tattered E30's right? ;) We'd look like idiots.

But I'm just being selfish cause my car isn't running right now. How does November sound? It would give me incentive to finish the damn thing. (It's been worked on for around 2 years now. Haven't driven it since)

Also WHERE SHALL WE MEET?

I have 9 family members in HI but only fly in once a year..

Well here are some pics of the last time I was there.

This e30 is always there at the same spot the guy might sell to one of you guys worth a shot! They are original chrome rims.
And got to love the surfboard!

Yo
Mililani here. We should do an Oahu meet up some day... our numbers seem to be very few and wide. ;)
And I'm definitely in favor of a Hawaii sub.

... 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?

I've seen a few other Hawaii members on here. Can't recall the names though. If you see a flat black, plastic bumper sedan that is dumped and loud as fuck running around, that's me. I will be rocking Cali plates.

lucky jerks.

enjoy that classy year round weather joe, oh yeah, i changed the car quite a bit since i got it, well, kinda.

Lets see what you have done. Post pics man.

My mom's there right now. In Kailua. My auntie may rent you a room there. I'll ask if you want. My mom gets a job on Molokai next summer and I might be there with her. I've been accepted to the school of Warriors, and I might be going there next year.

I appreciate the offer, but it's my wife, our son and myself. So we would need more than a room. But if your aunt owns any rentals that way, let me know.
