history and reference Bought Vern 6 years ago

[adawil2002]

Six years ago I saw this Verona 2002Tii on ebay, located in Telluride Colorado. After doing my due diligence during the auction,there were no deal breakers and all the good boxes got checked off, so I submitted the winning bid. After a month of not being able to get the car shipped. My wife and I flew out to Telluride, June 9th and drove Vern back to Brunswick Maine, logging 3,100 trouble free miles. As they say the rest is history. We have since logged well over 40K miles with no problems. Vern is overly maintained and drives as a new 2002Tii should.

And...40K in 6 years means it gets lots of exercise!

 

Congrats,

You've done well by him.  Congrats!

yep... Andrew is NOT scared to drive Vern from one end of the country to the other. Always a welcome site to see him at MidAmerica.

 

Such a great car

Andrew and Cyndi Wilson:. Gear heads not afraid to drive their wonderful collection of vehicles. Looking forward to more discussions next week in North Carolina.

Has it really been 6 years? Goes by so fast.?

Today to celebrate and get ready for The Vintage, Vern received an oil change and bath. Close to 4K miles to Mid America at Eureka Springs and back.

 

Looks like Vern and I will be solo this year, no Cindy or friend from CA.

I can vouch for Vern's trouble-free miles--we've caravanned to Mid-America two years in a row with only one hiccup--a failing water pump but that won Vern the coveted (not!) hard luck award at Mid-Am '15.  

 

See you and Vern at Vintage; sorry Cindy can't make it; Carol was looking forward to a non-car person to talk (commiserate) with..

Great looking car! I was hoping to make it to Mid-America this year but alas, fate was not kind at the last minute. Next year!
