Killer Wave

Hawaii was and remains one of my favourite holiday resorts - you can’t really beat it for experience, sun and people - the people there are always accommodating, laid back and pleasant. The last time I went to waikiki and did a fair bit of holidayish activities - I had driven to the airport in a mitsubishi FTO - not the most ideal car for luggage - but unavoidable in the situation of car breakdowns :/ . This meant my luggage had to be fairly sparse to fit in the car - so I packed light, planning to pick up some stuff when I got to waikiki - and you know what - I did - all the stuff I needed, from shaving foam to spare swimming shorts - all available - It was an excellent trip away - shame about the airport parking bills though!

The Mitsubishi Evolution is a very….loud car - I would liken it too the semi-brash bloke in the pub, fairly loud, backed up with a fair amount of clout and pretty kick ass in the wrong (or right) situations. I never really classed it as that honed of a machine, despite its similarities with the Subaru running deep, from insurance groups to bodywork shape and the saloon rally principle. I always considered it to be a bit of a loud mouth holigan - not the refined hitman that the impreza was. But I drove a newer model of the evo this week and it really suprised me - the owner had played down that boystrous over-exuberance and kept it painted one colour black with no decals, even the cat had been put back on so it didnt sound too raspy. I was actually impressed I have to say - itll never imprez me though!! lol.

I did tell him that his car wasn’t fit for the sand - but he didn’t listen - theres got to be some cosmic karma coming into play there - he drove his heavy vw golf onto the dry sand and I said it would all end in disaster. Now his car is breaking for spares and he hates the beach. The thing is most people wouldn’t realise that parking on the beach is not part of their insurance policy - so he literally got no money back from wrecking his car!
