My Dad similar too Magnum, retired from the Navy in 1976. My father was starting to be successful in business by 1979 and 1980. My father was a Datsun guy in those days. Z cars. So the same time frame Magnum came out my Father treated himself too a new Datsun 280Zx turbo. Rick during the first season drove the same Datsun on the show. So I became a fan cause of that. Not the Ferrari like the other kids. My dads father also career Navy, so my dads family many migrated too Victoria as the "hometown". Back in the early 1980's more British ex pats there. My great grand mother lived with us. She liked Higgins cause she thought he'd fit in well in Victoria. As a lot talk about their war hero days, etc........ So Id watch the show with her. She only watched the Higgins scenes. My mother was a Hart to Hart fan, so I knew about high end cars before Magnum. But it was Magnum that got me into cars.............
