And while I'm at it, Austin 1981: The Salmon.  A ride across the Alps in Takao Shigeta's '73tii in winter of 80-81 convinced me my next car would be an '02.  A look at the prices of tiis convinced me it wouldn't be a tii.  But for about $1500 for this crusty, rusty little bomb, I had plenty left over for the Weber downdraft, and for several years I drove it like I stole it.  Eternal thanks to Terry Sayther for treating this penniless supplicant graciously as I learned the ways.

My second '02 and maybe the best - a 1975 at Lime Rock in 1984.  The car had full Korman suspension, mild build motor and Recaro interior from a 320i complete with the 3 spoke sport steering wheel.  Moved to CA in '85 and was afraid to bring the car due to smog laws at the time.  If only I knew then what I know now!

At my garage,

My 75 02, Dieter, doing some off-roading in April of 2011. The second picture is of the car one day later - after all of the mud and cow shit were cleaned off.

Sometime in the summer of '09 shortly after I pulled the car out of it's 20 year slumber in a friends folks garage. That was the last roll of film I ever ran through my old Canon AE-1. Maybe I should dig it out again....

My first car, 74 2002 from Long Island

(Betsy). I drove her up and down east coast and through many places a car was never meant to go. She never let me down and to this day I regret trading her in.

I don’t want to get punched in the face but if that’s your beautiful wife getting out of your beautiful car congratulations

What's that car behind the beautiful wife?  It certainly looks like a BMW...

This was my first, a 1968 1600-2  #1565522. Bought from a friend for $300 in 1980. It was only 12 years old but the Polaris was gone and it was rusty. It did have whitewalls though. You never forget your first.
