I’m back

[gwb72tii]

Hi everyone. My tii has basically been in storage for the last 5 years with only the rare trip to the store and back. 
There used to be a fairly active group of us 2002 enthusiasts that would get together for drives, meet ups etc. Looking at this blog it doesn’t look like we have any organized gatherings any longer?

Is there a PNW leader any longer? Any regular get togethers? Any regular drives etc.?

 

is there any interest?

Welcome back!

 

I try to rally folks for a few events every year with varying success:

020202 Show and Swap, West Seattle

BMW and Burgers at Triple X, Issaquah

Lake Washington Cars and Coffee, every Sunday

 

And Anton used to schedule a spring drive every year, but that hasn't happened in a while. 

 

Would love to get the crew together more often now that my car will be finished being restored soon. 

 

Thoughts?

Welcome back!  I was gone for a few years myself, but acquired my latest '70 2002 last November and am back at it.

 

We had such a huge turnout at the 02-02-02 event this year, we should have some meets and drives this summer.  There definitely is interest.

 

I worked with Anton on planning the first drive up north; it's got some great roads and beautiful scenery.  And, actually, I think the first drive up north was a 'fall colors' drive in October, because we drove by several large and well attended pumpkin patches.

 

Look forward to seeing you all again soon.

 

Stu.

Good to see you back! Not a bunch other than the usual drives. Haven't been down to Rainier in about 10 years with the group and Anton didn't put together the fall color run last year which was sorta Octoberfest kinda thing before that. But I'm always down to get the '02 out more often!

Agreed, some organized drives vs. standing around in a parking lot would be good fun!  

[gwb72tii]

Cool! At least there are still a few.

I’ve got a lengthy list of nagging things to do to the tii before I can really drive it, so It’s time to get the list sorted and completed.

I was the PNW lead for a while but it’s been years. I may still have emails for everyone if they’re still current.

You handed off the reigns to me in 2012, I believe.  I have maintained the SIG group email since then.

 

James is our leader now.

I'm back in circulation. Finally got my bimmer running - I want to get more ideas on other folks' bimmer improvements. Show and tell will be helpful.
