    Sightings 2016

    Saw one of these at Longs Moiliili. Chatted to the driver about it. Still had CA plates on it and Hawaii doesn't allow it to be registered here. It is only here for car shows and is much bigger in person.

    I checked a while ago and Hawaii and Maryland are the only 2 states that do not have a classification for the Slingshot.

    You might like this Strosek conversion. Had deep dish rims so it must be a 74-89 and had 86+ dash.

    Spotted today in Hiroo: two Californias, a Gallardo, a 458, a Rapide S, a Phantom, several C-class wagons and several 1 series hatchbacks.
    And then there was one...

    Spotted today in Hiroo: a black 918 Spyder. Looks even better in person.

    Spotted today in Hiroo: a white Aventador roadster, a magenta Aventador roadster and a Bentley coupe, all parked in front of a cafe. Spotted later on in front of the same cafe, a purple Murcielago with striping in glitter, and a graphic on the hood, also in glitter. I didn't take a picture of that one... Also spotted nearby, a white Skyline R34 with a sizable rear wing. Very nice.

    Spotted in the Tenjin district of Fukuoka: a Toyota Mirai fuel cell car. Kind of an odd looking bird, but interesting.

    BMW three wheeler?

    Spotted this one in Hiroo. Tried to find it on BMW's worldwide motorcycle site, but no luck. Maybe it's a discontinued model?
