Hawaiian Rovers
Aloha,
I live on Hawai'i island (Puna) and own 1- 1970 88", 4- 1967 109s, 1- 1990 RRC and 1-1994 Disco, which came from Kaua'i. I became interested in Land Rovers when I was in the military training the Australian military in the 1980s.

We love Puna, we took a few trips over there in 2000 looking for land, but our hearts belong to Kaua'i.
We used to have an '83 Stage I which we bought from Kipu Ranch over here, that was our 1st Rover. It was later bought by an Oahu guy who shipped it to Australia.

They are only friendly beaause the know that you are visiting and spending money, the ae als happ because they knw that the visite leave after they spent all their money. As for Irland, I would still like to see it even if it is raining.

We were there for month from End of Dec to end of Jan, loved every minute of it The 2000 party was a blast I have never seen so many fireworks we were over in Waikiki all evening. True about the people liking tourists its the same here, big smiles for the tourists who spend the dollar, however as the dollar/euro is not good at the moment there are not a lot of americans coming to Ireland. But lots if Irish going to the states as for us its so cheap!!BIRD said:
Remember its at least 18 hours flying to get here from Hawaii

04 Disco!!
I have a silver 2004 Discovery SE. I love my truck. I just wish there were more places for me to drive it off road. I am in the prosess of putting ARB brush bar and ARB side steeps on. It was alot cheaper than the stealership. It should be all together in a few weeks. I would love to do a lift, but I could not park my trucks in half the parking areas here. I would like to own a 110 some day. I read in a car magazine that Land Rover will re-make the 110. But has no plans to sell it in the USA.
So what do you drive? Do you do alot of off road driving.

We are real landrover nuts we have a Discovery my wife uses every day and two 110 defenders, one is slightly modified, the other is an out and out offroad vehicle with 35" tyres, diflocks, winches front and back roll cage etc,etc.
have a look at www.hillbilly4x4.org to see what we do in our spare time. Loads of places to offroad here and plenty of mud and water too

Bird, I live there but work in Germany for the time being. I hope to be back sometime late next year. I just got a 96 D1 that I'll ship and hope to find a way to bring my Volvo too. We're down near the airport. Miss the island lifestyle...
I Live in the Honolulu Area
Aloha Bird,
I'm new to the Land Rover world but I've lived on Oahu for the past 3 years. I recently bought a '96 Disco SE7 from a Col. in the Marine Corps and so far I love it. All stock so far, but I've got ambitions to lift it (just a little). I agree there's not many places to off-road around here, have you been up to Peacock Flats yet? I'm curious how tough it is.
I'll be here for another year until the Coast Guard moves me; probably to the Tampa Bay area.
Regards,
Josh

Bird,
I'm active duty Navy and in Germany since Nov '03. I should be done here in '06 and hopefully back to Oahu. We've been on the island since '96 and was there for 5 years in the mid-late 80's. The plan is to retire there in the next couple of years and enjoy the lifestyle. I'm in the process of purchasing the Disco 1 and these sites are invaluable. We live across from the airport for the time being. My wife and daughter run a courier service on the island and ship a box on the United red-eye six days a week so it's convenient for her to be close. I get back at least once a year in my travels but spend most of the time in Germany or the sand.

Josh,
Never been to Peacock Flats. I just did some light off road in the sand at Barbers Point. Got my truck stuck in the sand so deep that the frame was on the sand. I had a local guy pull me out with his Toyota 4 Runner. I did every thing wrong on that trip. I did some light off road in the sand at the MCB (before they closed off the HUMMER corse) and Bellows AF. let me know if you want to go find a trail some time.
