The islands were full of them, but our white Christian missionaries ruined that.

Today, we went to a VFW Post for ceremonies to benefit the post's services to vets and currently serving personnel. An 84 year old vet was there and was telling me about the Omaha Beach landing he was part of. He had pics of the LST he was on. Pics of his mates as well. He was there to honor the memory of his comrades that did pay the ultimate sacrifice.

Danica Patrick didn't finish and some New Zealander won it. An exciting win. Scott Dixon, who had pole position too.

Well, if you consider New Zealand a really huge island, which it is. i don't think the Hawaiians were into headhunting. And how many of us don't like tattoos or bare breasted wimmins...er...wahines!!

No they wont ;)

The Beetle is a popular car to restore these days because of the nostalgia that seems to infect the old hippies still around. I am sure in Texas and other non-salty states, those are still seen. Easy to work on and fun to drive and economical too. Plus, you could still buy up to a couple of years ago CKD Volkswagens direct from Mexico and build your own. I attend a yearly Volks show and two of those Mexican cars come every year.

That's actually a Mercedes

Hmmmm. Maybe we should watch Ebay!

Hmmm, so gramps was right, maybe?

Maoris are from New Zealand, not Hawaii.

Now I have a strange desire to obtain one of those little DOHC Hemis.

Sorry, my memory was a bit shaky. Although the door and windshield resembles the first series VW Scirocco, it is indeed based on the Marathon delivery van, with a body designed by Brook Stevens. The VW reference came from my grandfather who worked at Briggs and showed me the car. He thought some VW body panels might have been used in making the car, but it appears he was wrong. The car is cool and as far as I know it exists still somewhere within the Briggs company.

Borgward Isabella, East German car.

You are right. They did use the bulk of a Scirocco and built the hybrid around it. I think the front was a one off design, although those wheel arches sure look close to the Marquis I used to own.

OK you guys. Don't believe everything you read on the interwebs. It is a documented fact that I, The Mighty Lord Air Gtar owns the Kennedy air guitar. It was given to me during a scotch fueled party on a certain greek yacht by a certain ex-first Lady. It is not a Fender Mustang, but actually a clear bodied Rickenbacher. The Ebay version is obviously a forgery.

What is this one?

How do you post up cars here without giving away the name? I either get nothing to show or you guys can somehow find the name on the file even though nothing is shown. I'm getting madder and madder that I cannot participate.

As long as they are approved for general audience viewing!

Puka shells are Cone Snail shells found in the world's oceans. Puka means small hole in Hawaiian. They have naturally formed holes in them from wave and sand action, so they are great for stringing together. Used for jewelry, they are polished and popular wear for surfers on the west coast, Hawaii, and Australia. I have a Puka necklace left over from my California days where I "attempted" surfing. Sand does not taste good. http://www.pukahawaii.com/shop/index.php?cat_id=1

And since Jairus is Member # 5, who is # 4?

No, that ain't Gregg. His tat would have the samurai's katana replaced with an X-acto knife.

I would think using Lindberg's Dodge L-700 and scratching a tank on the back would make a great water truck.

But Pontiac did in the seventies. They were called Enforcers http://www.abodysite.com/enforcer.html

oh brother!
