Hey I'm Greg and I'm an E10 N00B

[greggymcgreg]

Howdy PNW'ers.

 

Dipping my toe's in the BMW world and looking to connect. Just picked up a 1972 Malaga Red Roundie. Is an absolute joy and having a blast. Not sure how frequently this group gets together or if there are meet ups. It's been a long-time bucklist item for me to get a 'Roundie' and am beyond stoked.

 

I'm mainly familiar with air-cooled porsches and am slowly learning about E10s.

 

Hope to say 'howdy' and meet folks as the days turn sunnier and longer!

 

Peace-

you picked a beauty....welcome

Welcome, Greg!  I have been a 2002 enthusiast since 1979--and during 1978-79 I was a Porsche mechanic at a dealership in LA.  Went to their training school at VW of America, specialized in 914's and 924's.  Before that I worked as a machinist building hi-perf VW engines.  Just thought I'd toss that in since you have a few in the stable.

So good to know. I am always looking for Type 4 mechanics... you're becoming an endangered species these days!

Whereabouts do you live?  I'm in Ballard/north Seattle.

[greggymcgreg]

Oh sweet. I'm in Magnolia. There's a few 2002s in the neighborhood.?

OK, now that I've seen your IG pics, I have to add that I have a 1 year old german shepherd pup.

[greggymcgreg]

We'll have to get the pups together!

DM on Insta ---- cheers!

Thanks Johnny.

Do you ever go to any of the donutsanddrip events in PDX?

[Johnny Riviera]

No, haven’t heard of it. What is it  and where?  I hit the Cars and Coffee from time to time and try to get out and autocross when I can.

Portland, Oregon. Need I say more? If you aren’t from the West Coast, or even the United States, then yes, more explanation may be required. To put it simply in context of this event, Donuts & Drip is Steve ‘Pelle’ Pelletier’s take on what cars and coffee should be. Public, but semi-curated, Pelle has been …
