To get things back on the actual Magnum subject. Anyone know how many times
Magnum has wrecked or damaged the Ferrari? People have tallied the beers
consumed but I haven't seen any numbers about car damage.

How about the number of times Magnum loaned the car and it got damaged?
Was TC the only one to damage it? I can think of two times, the time
when he swerved to miss the pigs and the time he and Rick had the window
smashed by TS's (ex)wife's character.

What episode was this?

By the way, what's the number on the beers? And, while we're at it, how
often does he mention "Ol' Dusseldorf" beer?

There was the episode "Try to Remember" in which Magnum was knocked
unconscious and pushed over a hill in the Ferrari. Also, the ep in
which Mac was killed and the Ferrari totaled by a car bomb set by the
Russian agent Ivan.

I think that was "Birdman of Budapest," wasn't it?

But he didn't lend the car in either of those cases. I think the
correct answer to Jason's question, as asked, may be the just two he
cited. David Romas and Mike Barnes are both especially good at this -
guys?

"Birdman in Budapest" - Rick and TC drive it, but have someone shoot a
hole in the "windscreen"

"Forty Years From Sand Island" - JQH is in a bad wreck in the Ferrari,
huring his right leg, right arm, head, and back

"A Sense of Debt" - TC wrecks the Ferrari, causing $3716.53 in damages

"Who is Don Luis Higgins..." - flat tire with JQH driving

Other Ferrari problems:
"All Roads Lead to Floyd" - back bumper dented by antique car
"Black Orchid" - bullet through the wind screen
"Tropical Madness" - a side mirror is taken off
"Try To Remember" - wreck causes $8000 damage
"Italian Ice" - fender scratch
"Did You See The Sun Rise" - blown up
"Almost Home" - stolen
"Torah, Torah, Torah" - sandwiched between two trucks
"Photo Play" - wreck

>Other Ferrari problems:

Also in "No More Mr. Nice Guy" somebody steals the radio out of the Ferrari
while Magnum is looking for Old Dusseldorf and he wrecks it in mud while trying
to get back for the Army/Navy game.

P.S. That scene where Higgins comes to inspect the damage to the car in
"Italian Ice" is one of the funniest exchanges ever.

Higgins: Oh my God!

(Magnum cowers in background)

Higgins: Magnum, this isn't a scratch it's a bloody gouge!

Magnum: No, a gouge is a lot deeper than that.

Higgins: I've seen cars come through four years of the Blitz looking better
than this. I'm not going to ask you to pay for this.

Magnum: (a bit stunned) You're not?

Higgins: No, I'm simply going to take the car back.

Magnum: For how long?

Higgins: Forever

There - didn't I tell ya he was good?

Although I would say the original answer was correct to the question
as asked, since Higgins in the Ferrari could hardly be considered
Magnum having lent it out....

Doesn't the finish get sprayed with grease as well? Forcing Magnum to
drive in his shorts. LOL

Also there's the egging incident in the EP where Carol meets her natural
Mother. The syndicated version cuts out Magnum's frantic washing of the
car before bringing it home.

I "think" these qualify if the flat tire in "Who is Don Luis Higgins..."
does.
