Waiting for the roads to dry...

Recommended Posts

After the snow we got a couple of days ago, I wanted to take the car out but the roads weren't quite dry. Maybe tomorrow. -Raine

I'm hanging it up Raine. Too dang cold and they put salt on the roads from last week's snow to bring my cars out. Besides, my engine is blocking the tii in the garage. Both are still tied up to the Battery Tender feeding tube.

on the way from Leesburg to Purcellville. I thought the road looked wet in the travel lane, and discovered why! Moved over the the passing lane to keep the E28 a bit less salty.

I got the o-ring for the tii's pressure relief valve and some new fuel line. Now just need to find the time and have the temperature rise.

snow--roads are white with the stuff, and more on the way early next week.

I think our SW Ohio 2002s are hibernating for the duration unless we get a serious thaw and then some non-freezing rain.

Cheers

Seriously, the snow along the roadsides here in Mpls./St. Paul is 5+ feet already and it's not even officially Winter for another 3 days!

For the 1st time in 28 yrs., the Vikings will be playing a Home game in an outdoor stadium Monday night (Univ. of MN Stadium). It'll be especially tough, given the Vikes performance to-date, to have no alcohol at the game.

Cheers!

The State of WV spreads cinders on their roads which are nothing more than ashes. According to my wife, sometimes they spread salt.

In my opinion, WV does a much better job of clearing their roads than VA. The residential streets are cleared much faster than ours here in NoVA.

    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
