I met some FAQers there last year, and it was a great event! Gotta represent the '02

They're back with a 2019 edition, again near Prospect Park.

 

Quoting from an email I got:

CarPark NYC cars & coffee

How quickly does this fill up? I’d like to meet local ‘02 people. I’m just about to tear the whole car apart, and it’d be good to see what the local scene is like.

Darn. Believe I'll be at the Vintage. This is a good time though.

Seems unlikely my car will be ready by then... dang - Rich

What are you doing on the car .. seemed to be really well-sorted last fall.

Whether any of us gets "in" or not – we could still meet up there to chat and catch up in person. Let's just agree on a "code": we all stand around the oldest BMW at the meetup, that's how we'll know who to talk to

Think he had the engine rebuilt at SCR, Vince. 

 

Meanwhile I'm supposed to pick mine up Friday, to drive on the road for the first time in THREE YEARS, but my guy told me it's not gonna be ready because it needs some "odds and ends". Crap!

I wonder how much "odds and ends" are going for these days?

Looks are so deceiving Vince!:

 

1. Engine rebuild. 2. Warm up regulator. 3. Replace trunk gasket and filler neck (to eliminate fuel smell from entering cabin). 4. Correct front bumper (not level). 5. Various trim & interior pieces need correction. 6. Rear diff leaks. 7. Speedo cable replacement. 8. Rust proof (ha) / seal fenders and misc underneath of car. 9. Clutch occasionally doesn't engage 1st gear. 10. Radio/bluetooth not functioning correctly. 11. A bunch of little items I can't think of right now...

 

As per usual the car is behind schedule and what can you do about that except grin and bear it. ☺️

That’s quite the list, but sounds like she will be in tip top shape when done. Would love to hear your experience with the engine rebuild next time we meet up.
