Default A Beautiful Day in Hawaii

I got off of work early and it was a beautiful day, temp in the mid 70's nice tradewinds with the sun up with some nice clouds in the sky.

I made it home and jumped into the Vette and took a nice drive.

Here are some pictures I took while heading down to the North Shore on Oahu, for those that know the area Haleiwa and Waialua. Sorry but took the pictures through my windshield while driving.

Hey Gary, thanks for the memories. Hadn't seen it since '72. Do you ever get off "the rock"?

That is a beautiful day. Wish I could join you in your salutation of the beauty of the day but it was 2 degrees here this morning! The next few days look good though so the 08 Vert will get a chance to "stretch its legs". Thanks for the pictures and memories of days to come...

Default Didya go get some shaved ice?

I was at Hickam from 1999-2001. Great drive.
Where's everyone autocrossing these days? Loved running at Barbers Point, best place ever!
Do me a favor and run up and down Tantalus a couple of times for me.

As far as getting off of the islands, I try at least once a year to take my family to Disneyland in California, (I hate flying) and then I drive down to beautiful San Diego.

Paul, the weather is great right now. Finally cooled off and humidity has dropped making it great weather.

I guess the next time it rains, I will take some pictures and post the Crappy day in Hawaii pictures.

Tantalus/Round Top drive has had a lot of work being done on the road so hard to take the car up there for fear of hitting a steel plate.

Sorry to hear the weather keeping those great cars tucked away, but when spring hits and those cars come out I envy the roads you guys get to drive. All I get to do is go around in circles

You guys take care, my daughters school just called saying my daughter is sick, so will be leaving work to get her. There goes my internet time.

It's great to see your pics!!!!

Cold here today in Calgary but weather guy says hang on because the Artic Air is coming Sunday and next week will be highs of -18 to -23 C (so 0 to -9 if I have my math right) and that's without the wind chill!!! I hate winter!!!, Did get my racemesh on and going to see the Mouse in California in two weeks and look at Foose’s shop!!

Wife says “why do you torture yourself” looking at your warm photos but keep the pics coming.
