I was just looking it up and I didnt mean to find out there is a remake

Magnum P.I. takes place in the same fictional universe as two other series, both also developed by Lenkov and both also reboots of earlier crime shows: Hawaii Five-0 and MacGyver. The three shows have been collectively referred to as the "Lenkov-verse".[sup][9][/sup]

My mate was chatting up a hottie in the pub.

"You look just like that bloke in Magnum PI"

"Oh yeah - Tom Selleck"?

"No.  Higgins".

"Three middle aged blokes standing next to a car that's 3 ft high trying to out-twat eachother ".

First, I need to restore Mrs Carpy's Mk 1 Mazda MX 5.  Needs welding, front subframe mounts, sills and inner arches.

New clutch and a respray - Candy Apple red at the moment so will go with that.  A bit pink but...SWMBO has insisted.

Has a Typhoon induction kit, but thinking of two Weber 40's.

A modern DOHC engine will smell like fuel and pollute if you put carburetors on it.  

Stock factory horsepower started to pick up in the late 1980s when sequential fuel injection allowed greater valve duration and overlap without getting fuel into the exhaust.

If you have a catalytic converter, it may overheat, I suspect, because it will be getting a lot more fuel and air than it was designed for.  I am not sure about this; it is just a layman's guess. It may even shoot flame and backfire. 

Do you like how some hot rods smell?  It may make enemies.

I love cars.
I have always had a soft spot for Stallone's Shelby Cobra in the film of the same name.
Then there's the Audi Quattro in Ashes to Ashes, a BBC TV series, I know not a movie, but still...... "Fire up the Quattro" became a catch phrase.
Out of all the 'muscle cars' I've always fancied the Mustang.

PS, I have no idea how to upload pics here.

My fav Cobra is Herbie Handcock's AC Cobra with the 289. Single owner cars are great, when the owner is famous, yeaah.

Now gentlemen, get your box of tissues ready...

Sophia Lauren and her 300SL As I recall it last sold for 2mil euros, but it still exists.

Wow, thank you for sharing this site. The cars are amazing. I can’t believe Sophia is 90.
