Greetings from Hawaii.

[DDub88]

Hello guys, I'm Donavan from Hawaii.

Back in late October I stumbled upon this car at a local dealership while looking for a decent Audi. The Audi that I originally checked out was too much of a base car. I checked out the ZHP and instantly fell in love with it before test driving it. Its an 05 6MT, Sparkling Graphite Metallic ZHP- at the time of sale it had around 38k miles on it (now at 40k) and the dealership let it go for 21k. I know that's alil high compared to mainland pricing but there's always a huge markup here in Hawaii and I couldn't let a good car slide away. Here's a few obligatory photos. Sorry for the crappy phone quality

Welcome brother! Am i seing angel eyes?

Welcome. That price isn't all that high. You may have the only zhp in HI. I don't expect to see you all that often, posting in the "spotted" thread.

Wonder if they did the ol' replace the worn alcantara wheel, but replaced it with the sport wheel instead.

Definitely interesting.

Welcome to the family.

Side note - I saw somebody from Hawai'i on e46f selling his ZHP so there must be a few out there, or this is the one that was being sold. I'll see if I can find that thread

Aloha Donovan, welcome to the family. Mahalo for posting, and for your service. Best wishes for your deployment.

We met a gent today (Axle?) who just PCS'd from HI to VA. Any of you? Original owner of a red coupe.

[bmrhead]

Apparently I missed Donovan in the move from Hawaii to VA, didn't get to meet him.

It's funny reading back through this thread, I was in Afghanistan when it was started and I'm back in Afghanistan again almost two years later when the thread was revived.
