other Mid America 02 Fest

[kaptanoglu]

By popular demand (or at least demand by Ray and Skip), attached is a pic of the trunk lid tool kit that my father-in-law, Ralph Kelly (original owner of the car) made back in the late seventies.  He also had a Bavaria, and was upset that the 2002tii didn't come with a proper tool kit.

 

Unfortunately, I was held up getting the car rolling before MidAm, and didn't have the chance to fill in the missing tools (that my brother-in-law, the second owner of the car, swiped).  I will have it complete next time around.

I can't stop thinking about this tool kit and how to make one for myself.  It's just too cool.

Sounds like I will need to keep my trunk locked.

Bo asked me to put up a list of the vendors who supported the event by providing door prizes and awards.  As I mentioned this is a very much anticipated part of the event on the final night.   These folks are very much part of the 02 community and support our hobby by providing the products and services we need to support our hobby and keep our cars on the road.   Please support them

And thank YOU Bo for everything you and Barb do! I'm SO glad you had the foresight to keep the event alive when its future hung in the balance years ago! Mid-America '02 Fest and the "True Friends" are important parts of my life.

What Mike said.

 

A great event rain or shine.

 

So good to meet up with '02 friends new and old. It's like a Family affair.
