Congrats, this is a great gig for any car enthusiast.  I wish I was in town this weekend and would have loved to meet you, but I am in San Miguel Allende at my nephew's wedding.  Have fun in La Jolla.  I know someone that knows someone that has a Rolls Royce collection, may be able to hook you up one day.

Congrats Coop.  That sounds like the most ridiculous car oriented job I have ever heard of other than maybe the mechanic from New Mexico who got hired to manage Ralph Lauren's car collection.  There are some gorgeous cars on the website.  Thanks again for inspiring my M2 build and for the advice during the build.

Aww, Eric! It was my pleasure and I’m honored to hear that I was able to be of some help with your M2. Yeah, I’d definitely say that the mechanic from New Mexico has the edge on me lol! Thanks a lot for the shout-out and I hope to see you soon. Warm regards, Coop

Actually, we're more likely to say......happier than a dog in a butchers shop.

Good luck with the new venture.

 

Happier than a dog with two tails is another one!

Thank you so much TJ! They say “if you love your job, then you never have to go to work.” I’ve always dreamed of getting to that place but have never quite attained it...now, it’s time to execute! Hope to see you soon brother...

    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
