C'est sympa de voir qu'il y a un autre français grand fan de Magnum, dans ce forum !

Salut J-C Fornier ! (pas mal le pseudo)

Avec toi on est trois français maintenant, on va bientôt pouvoir se monter un forum francophone ! En tout cas ce forum est super, c' est dingue le nombre d' infos intéressantes que j' ai pu apprendre, notamment sur la résidence.

A bientôt !

(Sorry for writing french it' s the last time, next we' ll write by private messages).

Luther Gillis (my favorite character) was already taken, so I thought about using J-C Fornier !

About Magnum's residence, I don't know if it's mentionned on this excellent site, but I found this (in french) :

http://www.ou-cest.fr/Ou-est-la-maison-de-Robin-Masters-.php

Really funny to travel from this point and to join Waikiki beach with the roads !

I downloaded "Google Earth" and I found the residence. Long time but I knew it was on south-east, I followed the road near the sea.
Not so far we can also see the "Island Hopper" pier.

JCF,

Tres interessant! Il est possible a voir la maison de Robin Masters plusiers places sur l'internet, mais c'est plaisant a lui voir a un emplacement francais aussi.

Okay, that's the extent of my lousy French for now.

Google Earth probably provided that view that you posted, since it appears to be the usual top-down Google Earth view.

This one shows pictures taken from a tourist helicopter ride over the area:

Robin's Nest from Helicopter

This one shows a visit by the same fans (I think) at ground level:

Beach Level

I believe those pictures were taken in 2002, and from what others have posted here, it seems the estate has gotten even more rundown and overgrown in the five years since then.

If you haven't already seen those, they are certainly interesting and informative.

Hello, Golfmobile, it's great so many Magnum fans are speaking french !
Nice pictures ! Nice to see the villa did not change.

I found an interesting link :

http://arvageen.free.fr/blog/index.php/2007/04/24/la-villa-de-robin-masters/

The guy explains he spent good times driving a virtual car in TDU (Test Drive Unlimited) in virtual Hawaii.

According to this video :
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2039t_robin-masters-place-in-magnum_auto

The guy proved he found the place in TDU but no Robin's house !

JCF,

Wow! That second link was so cool! But what a shame he never found the actual Robin's Nest property! Still it was fun seeing him driving over everyone's yard!

Laughing Very Happy

Olivier, Jean-Claude Fournier,

Bienvenue à bord, or shall I say Aloha.
We're not many Frenchies here on M-M, but we're hanging-in.

A bientôt

You can speak French! All I know is pousez-vous sinon je vous roule dessus!

It means out of my way before I run you over. But I guess you guys already knew that.

(pousez is spelt wrong)

Just make it a double "s" for poussez.

I see that you could definetely survive on French roads with this sentence ;o) especially on the French Riviera
