Howdy Y'all! I'm still alive.

I had a few minutes, thought I'd check in and say HOWDY!!!

I'm working full time restoring vintage Iron at a British shop (although we do have other marques like mid 1930s Pierce Arrow , 427 Cobra, and a 1928 Packard layin' around the joint).

Life is good. I spent today stretching fresh canvas over the dashboard of a 1953 MG TD, and Monday reassembling the rear suspension on a Lotus Elan +2. That's the way I spend my days now, but I'm sweatier and greasier than at Maximillian.

Do I miss doing sales?....well...maybe the Air Conditioning! My wife finally got her MINI about 12 days ago - and if there were any doubts...the thing is a R I O T to drive and even just to look at!

Hope you all are doin' well. With all this rain we've been having, my 02 has been staying in the garage more than I prefer..but it makes the weekend redlinin' romps that much more fun! I'll be in the DC chapter rally to Summit Point Aug 9th. Hope to see summa' ya'll there!

Ciao!

You sold me a weber 32/36 a few months back. Minus some minor jet changes being needed, the engine runs AWESOME! I rebuilt a 320i 1.8l that is just spending some time in my 2002 right now (painting up a rust free 320i i'm building for my mom, which the motor is destined).

It is amazing how peppy a dinkly little stock 1.8l can be, when it is not spewing smoke like a tired diesel! ;) ;).

Anyways, just wanted to say a big thanks!! Have fun bringing the old ones back to life! ;)

    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
