In
anticipation of our next event, and we were a little worried since it
rained the day before, but on Sunday, July 22nd, we had nothing
but gorgeous sunny skies, perfect for top down driving. At the start, we
met at Moanalua Gardens so everyone had a chance to meet each other and
have our first photo shoot of the day.
 |
There
were eight cars, of which we had at least one of every color. For
this event, some of us brought Motorola talkabout radios so that we
could keep in touch while on the road and regroup our cars where
needed.We headed
out Ewa bound on the freeway and immediately got on the H-3 Freeway
over to the Windward side. After exiting into Kailua, we proceeded
to Jarons in Kailua for brunch. |
| Back on
the road we drove through Kailua, got on Kalanianaole Highway,
through Waimanalo, and stopped at Sandy Beach for more picture
taking. This gave the opportunity for another member to join us.
After more talking and picture taking, we headed back on the road
through Hawaii Kai, ending up on the H-1 Freeway towards our final
destination, Puu Ualakaa Park. |

The
road up to the park is well known as Tantalus and is extremely
curvy. A Porsche 356 Speedster quickly followed our tail revving his
engine and the driver was howling like a wolf! We all parked at the
lookout for more picture taking, while this Speedster stopped, let
his dog out, and went past us “driving” his dog at about 1 – 2
mph. We all laughed. |
After the picture taking
was complete with some breath-taking shots of Diamond Head and Waikiki in
the background, we left to our final destination of Puu Ualakaa Park. All
in all, it was a perfect day, beautiful weather and we all had a great
time. We had some suggestions for our next event, in September, for a
picnic get together (see Page 2). Looking forward to seeing everyone
again, and meeting new drivers to our club.
