[J Mart]

I keep looking but I cannot find pictures of last weekends Vintage and since we could not attend I was looking forward to see all of the cars that were there

Just scrolled through the FB thread. I'm certainly missing out.

To all those who are NOT on FB (including me), here are some I took from last week.

Trailer queen (rather king? since car is Oscar).  Marshall's K75S is in front of my car.

Chuck Pompei's car in the foreground,  Matthew Cervi's Riviera 73tii,  Clay's M42 67 1600 and Dudley's M20 powered 2002.  Sorry folks, the blue Toyota Matrix wasn't part of our caravan.

Chuck P. at Mt. Vernon Parkway and Route 1 intersection

My favorite shot during the trip down to NC

Brunch stop at the Crazy Greek Restaurant near Richmond.

James' beautiful Polaris 69

Grice and his Verona speedster. Glad to have him with us on this trip.

Somewhere Friday morning in the Pisgah National Forest.  MLyte leading the way on his K75S

The other group from the Friday morning drive behind me (noticing my dim tail lights)

Took some shots at the BMW CCA Foundation open house Friday afternoon

 

Yes, I recorded the VIN and color of this 2002 race car

 

2002tii lux headlight wiper

 

Back at the Clarion host hotel, here are 3 of our traveling companions

My inspiration for changing the color of the 69 from Nevada to Riviera is Matthew Cervi's beautiful 73tii

 

Dinner location Friday night.

Another Riviera Roundie at the Clarion hotel

Peter's 1800tiSa

NCC Member Doug Dolan's Tundra E9

Saturday pics at Hot Springs

 

 

This looks like Brian Ach's Agave tii

Whose car is this?

Never seen these BMW wheels before (they have a Roundel on them)

The BLUNT TECH hospitality tent was full all day.

You missed out on the great water's edge near the field

On the way back Sunday

This is the way to haul your classic car

Jim, I noticed you didn't get a pic of my Sahara tii when I passed Marshall and you on I-40 between Greensboro and Asheville

You were going too fast!   Lol!

[adawil2002]

Nice pictures Jim. Yes that's Brian Ach's Tii.

 

The Tundra Tii, PV553495, is Italian spec with Michelin MXV tires. It's only driven on and off the trailer I was told. Super low KMs.

Andrew - thanks for the additional info and pics. Did you talk to the owner?

[adawil2002]

No I didn't, forget who I was with, they knew the owner and pointed the car out and told me the details.

G-Man - It was good to meet up with you at the Montford. 

 

I want to thank everyone who stopped by Otisland.  After all these years - banned/banished for so long - it was nice to make a comeback, under disguise and cover of the rotating pedal cars.  For those "in the know," however, who received the special invite, it was fantastic - and it sure beats popping the hood and staring at another engine bay ... Zzzzzzzzz ... 

 

Granted, apologies for those with the VIP-pass invites - I realize that Otisland was a bit hard to find:  Past the velvet ropes, behind the bandstand, in between the O2 field and the M3-only "members only" zone.  But, for those who ventured behind the rocks, we had a great time, didn't we? 

 

 

I love pedal cars ...

 

 

Particular thanks to the car-wash crew - you had your hands full, with all the rain ...

 

 

This one didn't win a trophy - but should have.  Then again - who gives a flying f___ about the awards?!?

 

 

The private Otisland vendor lot.  What ... you shopped at Korman?!?  HA!

 

 

Friday morning, Cracker Barrel ... what, you went to the Foundation?  Double HA!

 

 

Otisland ... the Happiest Place on Earth.

OTIS IS BACK!!! The FAQ forum is once again whole, damn we missed you!!! Very glad to finally meet you and stick around this time for a change and don't disappear for a few years....  OTISLAND is always welcome on this forum.  PC, what's that....

PS - I think Scott is running some type of "photo contest" or something like that. 

 

Here are my entries.  Gosh, I hope I win something ... maybe a trophy, or something useful - like a Shamwow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[GoFaSSter]

I don't have a sham to give you, but I will give you a ton of WOW! Welcome back, Otis.

I'm thinkin' that Jim and Andrew have been spending too much time at -- or looking for -- Otisland and insufficient time perusing the wheels database....

 

This model of FPS rim is an oddity in that it is (a.) genuine BMW OEM; and (b.) 5.5" wide, although manufactured for non-turbo '02's.  I wish I knew the ET.  They were certainly available as accessories through the Italian BMW dealer network.  Perhaps Anders knows whether one could factory order them on Italian-delivery cars.  I just find it odd that BMW would be willing to install 5.5" rims -- at the factory -- solely for a couple of relatively-small markets: Italy and the U.K., but not for the larger German or U.S. markets.  I mention the U.K. because I believe there was a Dunlop 5.5" alloy rim manufactured solely for that market.  Note that these "special" rims seemed to only be offered in their country of manufacture.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

With tires that are 24+ years old,  I hope it is only driven in and out of the trailer.   Yikes.
