    I went to Oahu about 5 or 6 years ago and of course I wanted to find the estate which I did and on Oahu all the beaches are public so you can hang out in the tidal pool as long as you want its not private like it was portrayed in the show. There is a little park about three houses down from the estate were you can park and then walk down the beach right to the tidal pool. Fantastic spot!

    Just found another picture that appears to be of the same car! It is in much better shape though... but look at the dzus fasteners on the front bonnet, the absence of windshield wipers and door handles... the weird rear wheel offset. Sadly, you can't see the interior on this picture.

    It clearly says "Stunt vehicle", so I guess that answers the question of wether it was a running vehicle at some point or not.

    Since we got to the topic of Robin's Nest; has anyone found it on Google-earth? I'd love to see that tidal pool from up above! ;-)

    Also it looks like it has been water proofed. i.e. made to be outdoors all the time with roof off. Plastic seats etc.

    A true Magnum fan would have noticed. I guess he can go back and "blacken" the roof.

    While they are at it go ahead and remove the shields, blacken the hood vents, shorten the spoiler, remove the driving lghts, redo the rear view mirrors and parking lights and take the black off the wheels..

    Did I leave anything out?

    Unbelievable!

    How can they get TC's Hughes 500D so right and yet get the Ferrari so wrong? :confused:
