Time to Store the 1600

Well its that time of the year. 4 months of snow slush and rain in Connecticut and this year the 1600 will winter in a heated 3rd bay garage, a step up from last years unheated barn. Bottle of seafoam in the full gas tank, several bars of Irish spring, battery on trickle charge, parking brake off car cover on....see you in late march.

Did you come to that conclusion after seeing Detroit get their butts kicked today?

question - what is the Irish Spring for?

Short of making some poor cat live in the purple car for winter storage I have tried everything including moth balls to keep the mice and their turds and acorns out of my car including moth balls (chemically smelly and ineffective) and bounce sheets ( which the meese weave into their cozy nests) I buy a dozen boxes of Irish Spring cut all 8 corners off and place them every where ( engine compartment, trunk, glove box and under the seats) been doing it for 5 plus years now and I have been leaving them in (the trunk and glove box) year round. - have been turd free for years.

I've heard of this also and will go buy some from Costco. Wouldn't it be neat to create a video parody of the old Irish Spring commercials using a 2002? The lad would finish getting dressed in his wool sweater, grab a new bar out of the pantry and stroll out to the garage where he takes out his knife and slices some off before placing it under the driver's seat. His pretty lady would then comment on how fresh the car smelled.

    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
