Aloha, Laney!

I am in full agreement about the coolness of the '59 Caddy. If only my budget fit my desire.

I went through the Petersen earlier this month, loved the Hot Wheels section. My kids kept running from car to car yelling, "Hey! I have that one!"

Beautiful cars there. If I had to pick the Tiki-est car, I'd say it was that purple ultra low rider "Scrape/Zephyr".

They are having the official unveiling of a real Deora II on Nov. 11, with special Hot Wheels cars to give out, etc.

Hola, Humuhumu, my wife and I are big fans of your bar pics! I hope your new place will give you the same creative outlet!

There is a slight Tiki link with some other new Hot Wheels cars, as well. They make 5-packs that share a theme and they currently have a Tiki pack in the stores. I'll try to get pics. They also make alot of Hot Wheels cars with Hawaiian themed decos and lots with surf boards. I like the similar joy of Tiki and Hot Wheels.

We combine the two occassionally for racing and tropical drink parties. We make brackets like the NCAA basketball tourney and then have a 5 or 10 dollar buy in and then race, with prize money and door prizes to the top four finishers.

We've also been having Tiki parties at the Hot Wheels Conventions each year. I love bartending, so it gives me an outlet for my evil recipes, as well.

OK, ran long, out.
