Subject: My Turbo just got accepted to the Quail!!!

My 1975 Factory 2002 Turbo was just accepted the Quail A MotorSports Gathering.
They only allow a 120 cars and 3000 spectators.It is already all sold out It is the hardest ticket in town to get on car week in the Monterey/Carmel area in August.
This is the first time any BMW 2002 has ever been allowed to participate in this prestigious Event.I am truely honored that they considered and accepted my car.

Mike,

How could you possibly even consider missing Concorso at its brand new, world class, state of the art site at the Marina Airport. Just think, all of the concrete, the wind off the Pacific, more concrete and the dust! Everyone knows it will be so much more enjoyable than Blackhawk ever was and none of us will be able to visit you at Quail since it is sold out.

Congratulations! You know an event is very exclusive when even a spectator can't get a ticket. The OC coupe and 02 group will see you on Saturday at Laguna Seca.

Great news. You will probably have the only car that drove there from home, without a trailer. You will do us 02ers proud. We will be outside the gates peering in and drooling. Beautiful car.

Thanks for all the kind words.This was a chance in a lifetime and with Concorso moving to the shitty Marina Airport,I had to do it.
As many of you know I am into Porsches as well and this year at THE QUAIL they are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the 959 Porsche.Two of the most famous 959 owners may be there,Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld

Bill----- Thanks for the mug shot.For you guys that have never met Carl Nelson [La Jolla Independant],that is him getting in the Turbo at Laguna Seca last year.I am sure there are a few of you that have spent your pay check with Carl more than once

I'll see you there! I am a new Turbo owner and I was wondering about the size of your bottle cap wheels? (Please excuse the dumb question). Best, Yale

Michael Dubois---Gary and I raced up north again this year,but I couldn't take the Turbo as I discovered the Rear muffler was cracked at 5 PM on Friday afternoon.No time to get it fixed,so I had to take the old green slag heap 3.5CSI.Sorry I didn"t see you at the event
This really bummed me out as it was an 02 Event.I know what Blunt is going through as far as having trouble with his 02 right before there big Show this weekend

Yale-----The wheels are the BMW Factory Option 6/13 Mahle Wheels.They are pretty hard to locate and if you do they will cost you a pretty penny.Don't get fooled by the 5 1/2 x 13.They have to be 13/6 Please send me some pictures of your Turbo.What color is it?I can't get enough Turbo Photos.What is the Vin #?.Send them to mpgandco@sbcglobal.net

Ah yes 6"s. I had 14" wheels on the car and thought it handled fantastically. Having switched those out for 13" bottle caps (5" wide) I have been surprised at the difference. However turning at parking speeds is much better. You have 6" at all corners?

More newbie questions: Don't really like the sound of the exhaust, it is is a turbo exhaust that sounds very raspy, like a rice rocket with a coffee can exhaust when accelerating, is this correct?

Richard has had some public Turbo woes, and I talked to another turbo owner, Ed in Pa. when I was there for Carlisle last weekend who has also blown his turbo. Have you kept the original one? If so how?

I'd be happy to email you a photo.

Thanks, Yale

I met Mike at Quail which one of the highlights of my every other year Monterey excursion. As a newbie Turbo owner and without much of a knowledge pool out here, (NYC area), it was great to see another car and ask questions. Thanks Mike! Best, Yale

Where in NYC are you?

Did you buy your turbo locally? I knew of one person who has been trying to sell his awhile back.

Anyway, I know some of us are going to 2002fest east at Lime Rock over Labor day. I have my '74 tii in Brooklyn.

Send me an email if you want.
