I would like a carpet kit that fits my budget range ($20 or a 12-pack), that's my only dissatisfaction with her offerings.   I guess I'll have to live with my shitty carpet in the meantime...

I'd be excited to call Esty my mother. This way I can get free carpet sets instead of paying for them.

 

 

That said, I'm not sick of her. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow, this is a really rough week for the FAQ. Too much Estrogen in our chicken eggs.

Note for those FAQers who don't go back to the board's beginnings in that great year 2002...Ray's post above refers to the message board that launched the FAQ, due to some, uh, dissatisfaction with Roadfly...But decide for yourselves...

Esty doesn't do Recaro seat cover sets.  

 

That's just not right.  Brings out the grouch in me, it does...

 

5 posts.  We have more in the back yard....

I LOVE troll week!

Who is Sick of Esty?

 

 

Okay, I have been a 2002 enthusiast all my life and a Tii owner for 34 years, well before the Internet when parts were plentiful.  Even then the Dealer did not want to bother with these little cars and these days parts are simply getting much harder to find.

 

Now along comes a valuable resource like DenverTii and you are tearing him down?

 

Bryce has helped so many including me where he has also gone way, way beyond the typical customer service. I mean he's been incredibly helpful and given me lots of extra time which he did not even need to do.

 

Then on the other hand, there is Esty, and I mean what a piece of work! Ever notice that she is at the very center of every tumult where she outright slanders people. Then quoting other outlandish statements as if they were facts to actually create as much controversy as possible?

 

It is so malicious that people seem to be afraid of her or immediately take her side without ever listening to facts.

 

Here's what I know, if you have a problem with Bryce, give him a call.

 

Interestingly if you want to talk to Esty there is no number on her website? Curious to know too if there is any last name that anyone has.

 

It's really amazing to me that people even listen to this woman.

 

The most important question here is who coronated Esty as Queen of the FAQ? Oh, excuse me, it was Esty herself.

 

Forgive me if I don't bow.

OK, I'll admit I do have one little problem with Etsy. She doesn't make a one-piece carpet kit, so those of us square taillight big bumper guys are left out in the cold.

But it's ok, I can forgive her for that.

True, BUT, the multi-piece one I got from her fits just perfect in my 76. So there. No more problem. One more saved. :)

Your choices:

 

A ) Occasionally get ripped off for hundreds or thousands of dollars, and have months or years of hassle trying to sort it out

 

B ) Be forced to scroll past a couple of these 'annoying' threads once in a while.  Oh, the pain!

I won an Esty carpet set at MidAmerica '02Fest a few years ago.  My carpet was still OK, so I asked her if she could make me a custom trunk mat instead.  Esty made exactly what I wanted and shipped it to me pronto.  FREE.  She had donated the prize.  My encounter with her could not have been much nicer.

What? What's that? The Voice of Reason? Rational thought?? What are you doing here?? :D

 

Or option C: Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Stop reading this! Don't you have anything better to do?? :P

    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
