Anyone know what the story is with the Veyron in hawaii?
What? A Veyron in Hawaii? I hope it's not on the island of O'ahu. First off, there is not enough freeway space to to drive the beast. Second, roads here are full of road surprises like pot holes, unrepaired asphalt, bumps, and debris. And third, too many rookie cops doing radar everywhere. You can get a speeding ticket just by riding a moped, what more if you're driving a Veyron. They'll probably pull you over anyway for being ignorant and call the Veyron a Lamborghini. They'll ask questions like " Do you have reckon sticker for this car? " Your car sits too low to the ground or somethin'. They will harrass your a$$ and do a background check on the spot due to the fact that you are driving a car worth 10 times more than their house. My Veyron will sit in my garage if I have one!
Yep there is, http://speedhawaii.com/2009/09/random-shot-airport-delivery/ http://speedhawaii.com/2009/09/random-shot-the-king-is-here/
I'm glad we got at least one on the island. I've seen an Enzo, an LP 670-4 Super Veloce, and an F50 already...Oh and an MC12 at the recent car show! I have yet to see an F40 on this island, maybe a Koenigsegg, McLaren F1, and a Reventon.
It belongs to the president of Gianna. He comes every year for vacation on Maui and stays at the Grand Wailea. Brings also a yellow beat up F-50, matt black murci , Rolls Royce and 4 custom choppers. And a dozen hookers from LA.
I forgot about his 50ft speed boat that he sunk off Kihei. Forgot to put the drain plugs back in. He is a real work of art. Dictator. Living the good life while his country starves. Drives around Maui like a maniac. Body guards can't keep up with him. Stopped several times by Maui PD. Claims Diplimatic immunity and does a long burn out away from the cops, after their supervisors tell them to let him go.
Quite honestly only an idiot or a true poser would bring cars like that to Hawaii. I have a home on the big island, and have no interest in bringing any sports car to the island.
I go to Oahu on business for a week 2 or 3 times a year... I wouldn't THINK of bringing even my own 328 there - the roads are HORRID in many places, and NO WHERE to wind a car out... the H1, H2, and H3 are all a joke with traffic and poor pavement (pretty, though). I think it's funny that MOST of the Magnum shots are the same stretch of Kam Hwy just past Diamond Head... about the ONLY "fun" place to drive an exotic on Oahu... Jedi
Hahaha, fun is a relative word, those of us who call Hawaii (Oahu) home 24/7 have plenty of fun with our exotics. You probably aren't dialed in (when it comes to knowing what the locals can do) when you come here for bidness, if you're here only a few weeks out of the year then I get it, what's the sense of bringing a Ferrari here. Yeah I admit we don't have hundreds of miles here to run, but that doesn't stop owning the passion. We just keep another car on the mainland. I respect your opinion though.
ehhhemm... the H3, has excellent pavement. At 15 miles long it may be considered short and at times over-policed but is a nice, extremely visually pleasing stretch of road. I should know its my daily commute, sometimes the best part of my day! Here is a snapshot at low speed... haha Image Unavailable, Please Login
Some fun stretches on Kam between Kaneohe and Haleiwa, as long as you don't get stuck behind no pickup truck o somting brah.
No, this guy is the son of the dictator of French Guiana which is in South America with neighboring countries Suriname (Formerly Dutch Guiana) and Guyana (formerly British Guiana). Ghana of course is over on the African continent. Anyway, this guy is indeed a clown. Ran into him in Los Angeles, pretty much the same MO.
You could do it on the Windward Side of H3. I got a worn out 1982 Chevy Malibu up to 122 in April of 1991, surely a Veyron could hit its top speed before hitting the front Gate of Kaneohe Bay MCAS. Luckly Officer Fong did not show up for the court date.
Yup H3 will be a great road to drive a supercar. Good luck with the cops. They are everywhere now gunning. You can tell its still recession. Cops everywhere writing tickets just so they have money for donuts and coffee, oh and plate lunches too.
Yeah, cause the cops get to pocket the fines themselves...... HPD is generally a great bunch of guys, unless things have changed in the last 10 years.
French Guiana is part of France and thus making Sarkozy (french president) head of the state I know Sarkozy was a dictator but to that extent
