I'm in the other side of MAGNUM :?

I have absolute nothing in common with him.

Only one thing. My Grandmother looks like Agatha :D

One time I lived rent-free with a former military guy who didn't like my carefree lifestyle, interfered with my attempts at female relationships, made me do yard work, didn't let me have any of his expensive wine and got mad when I accidentally dinged up his car.

I was 17 and it was my dad, though. :oops:
My darling, you look ravishing... A-heh, heh heh... A little champagne?

Similarities - I am tall (6' 1") have a moustache and brown hair, and slim build. But I wear glasses, and have neither the chest hair, nor build of Thomas Magnum.

We have visited Hawaii three times - 1983, 1985, and 2010. On our 1985 trip we were on Maui and rented a 1985 Nissan 200 SX, with a sun roof. My wife threatened to take a picture of me in it as it was the "poor man's Ferrari." Alas, no such picture was taken. Here is a similar car.

My dream is to live "the life"! I want to own a home in Hawai'i similiar to the Anderson Estate, drive a red Ferrari (308 or 328), raise two dobermans, and get my helicopter pilot's license!
I just don't give a damn!

All I ever really wanted was the Ferrari... I just love the look of the 308, it's the most beautiful car I have ever seen... the design is timeless

ps; it fits me like a glove ;{)

My family has a castle in Aberdeen. It is currently a museum, but I hope to reclaim it someday.

Well...

1. Live near (but not on, anymore :() the beach. Florida, not Hawaii, but still...

2. Wear Hawaiian shirts regularly, including the Jungle Bird :)

3. Have a 308

4. Wear baseball caps, although mostly to keep from sunburning my bald head.

5. Pushing 40 too fast

I really need to work on being more active and get in much better shape. I think I'll watch the episode where TM trains for the Ironman a few more times for inspiration.

Unfortunately, I don't have very many photos - I really should take some more - and I don't have an online album to post them from. Is there an easy one to use?
