I'm working on an idea that appeals to me, but will produce more if even a few people are interested. Perhaps you've seen spare spark plug holders on various vintage cars. This was fairly common when plugs had a tendency to foul, even when the motor was in a good state of tune. The early ones I've seen are usually made of cast aluminum and tapped to receive the spare plugs, often in the same number required for that particular car. The one I'm working on will be a polycaronate box with clear cover, much like a mini fuse box and hold 2 plugs very neatly. It will be constructed of the highest quality materials with great attention to detail. Small flanges will be available to mount this either vertically, horizontally or loose in the glove box. The cover will be held with 4 SS knurled thumb screws and will feature a water and dust tight gasket. Is this a necessary accessory? No. And of course you could just throw some spares in your travel tool box. But I do find this kind of detail to be a neat little addition to a vintage car.

My inspiration for this idea came from the plug holder on Meg's '67 1600. Pictures will be posted when the prototype is complete.

That image has been hanging around forever, waiting to be copied. I even considered it recently when someone threw it up on my blog..

I saw another clever spark plug related tweak the other day. About a 1/2" of heater hose around the ceramic end of the plug wires.. Held them nice and taut in the head, probably held crud at bay too.

2002 newbie, and dead serious about it.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
