Still enjoy the re-runs. Love watching his car. Miami Vice was another program that was great with the Daytona and TR.

Will TRY to ,somehow, copy it for you,if I can,1st,find a clear copy. Unfotunately,in the beginning of the show,where Magnum pushes off and back his targa roof,onto the ground (Geez!) and takes off,it is a really clear shot of the rear license plate,however,it was from the "pilot" show,and is just a regular numbered plate-before the ROBIN 1 plate. I do what I can,though,to try to get it for you.

I have seen plastic replicas of the plate used on the TV show for sales on ebay, but it has been awhile. I figured somone might have a picture of the rear of one of the show cars (or one of these plastic replicas) that they could shoot my way.

Anyway, I would be glad to make the graphic for you in either design if you don't find someone who already had a close-up for you.

I thought it would be cool to print out a (roughly) life-sized copy of the State of Hawii "ROBIN 1" plate that the Magnum P.I. car wore, and tape it over my plate (AFTER I arrive and ONLY while it is parked). Anybody got a clear copy saved in their computer files? Thanks!
