Still need to talk to Pierre to see what the meeting time in Camarillo is.

Craig74tii

Here is his write up:"2002s, 1600, Neu Klasse, Bavarias, Coupes, and early E12s and anyone else who wants to join.

We have been promised a dedicated spot for pre-76 vehicles.

The caravan will leave Camarillo at 7:00 AM.

Camarillo, is off the 101, about 10 minutes West of Thousand Oaks.

Take the Las Posas Exit, take a right at the exit, then take a left at the first light then into the McDonald's parking lot. We will leave at 7:00, drive at a sane and legal speed, get there early, and avoid the large bling bling crowd."

e-mail him and let him know you are coming.

Sorry, that really sucks.

What an ..

probably wearing your roundel and 2002 badge around his neck for some additional bling..

If I had extras, I would send them. The only ones I have are on my car.

I think......I had better go make sure someone hasn't pryed them off.

everyone I know, who was going (from LA) isnt going. (except Gordon)Something about souped up new cars, and their drivers, being annoying.

There seems to be at least 30 people who think differently. If 30 of us are gathered in the same place, and they are giving us our own area, we don't really need to even look at their cars if we would rather not. I hope some of them reconsider.

I was hoping to make it, but I'm in the middle of my 5 speed conversion and I'm having a heck of a time getting my parts back from the shop. Right now, it's not looking good. Even if I get my flywheel and driveshaft, I'm just not confident I can get it all back together in two days after work.

If the car can't make it, see if you can make it. We would love to see you. It will inspire you to see all the '02s. Hitch a ride, borrow a car, bring your family. It will be fun for everyone. After all it is in SB.

When I got my nose tweaked by a very high SUV bumper.

Ouch!!

KFunk offered to send me an extra grill he had. Even though he was going through some difficult employment issues, he was not expecting anything in return, even shipping. I did respond with a "donation" to thank him for his generosity.

The result of his generosity..

Looks a lot better don't you think.

Thanks Kevin, I hope I can return the favor someday. Or "Pay it Forward".

If no other '02s, tag along with one of the South Caravans Bimmerfest is organizing. Check this link for more info http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=125 read thru some of the threads, I believe that there were some groups coming from the Inland Empire.

Hope you decide to make it. Should be fun.

I was just over at the Showgrounds tonight at 7pm. It looks really nice and the weather is clearing. '02s are never lost in a sea of 3 series. They will always stand out in a crowd. We should have a good showing of '02s this year.

See you there,

The water leaks seem to find me. Usually dripping on top of my feet as I drive. I guess I will have to replace that 30 year old window seal. But it is not a problem if it is not raining.

It is clearing around here now. Bimmerfest should be great.

Get some period 13" rims and run 185/70s.

Dump the leaky shocks and put in Bilstein HDs (factory option), get the driveline straightened out and change all the fluids to synthetic. Check belts and hoses for cracking, change the brakefluid and you should be good to go and enjoy the drive.

Keep the original wheels/tires for car shows.

Just my '02c.

I just put 4 Bridgestone Potenza 910 185/70/13s on my car under $220 out the door from Costco. the only catch is, that Costco is closing out all their Bridgestones and they will not restock them. they are discounting $60 if you by 4 at a time, which accounts for the good deal. I have been using that size since I replaced the original XAS tires.

Just my '02cents worth

I am sorry I can't hear you, your paint is too loud......NOT

Orange is always good on an '02. Everyone smiles at an orange '02.

In a sea of muted metallics, white and beige cars, an orange '02 really stands out. It is good to be different.

WOW! many thanks to everyone that responded, nice to know that such great people are out there.

Delia:

Yes indeed, that is the VIN! Amazing! How long did you own it? Rest assured I will take good care of it! What do you now own? Any chance of any old paperwork from this car laying around?

Thanks so much, I feel like I helped an orphan find her parents!

Alan S.

I am speechless, that is amazing.

This is the cool kinda stuff that makes this board worth staying on through some of the "wierd" threads.

Congratulations to both of you as the '02 story goes on.

I hope to make it in my '70, if I get the trans in by Friday. I'm waiting for my flywheel to be turned. Everything's ready to go, shouldn't take more than 4-6 hours unless I run into complications.

I hope you make it too, in whatever can get you here. I take back my earlier comment about bringing the golf tii, maybe we should not be running up the miles on it yet. By the way, does the odometer work? My odometer stopped at 9300 in the first year, and I know in thirty years I have driven a lot more than that, but didn't see any reason to fix it yet. It would be interesting to see what kind of mileage I get.

Hopefully see ya Saturday,

Now you need to bring it up to Bimmerfest, so we can all see it in person..

Beautiful car, congratulations.

Some of you may know her. She has a yellow 02 showcar. And she was looking for a guy named Leif that she met at last years Santa Barbara bimmerfest. anybody know him?

Did she have her car at FestWest two years ago?

If that was her, it was a very nice car..

coming to Bimmerfest?? should have a good 02 turnout. In a sea of E36 and E46's, 30+ 2002's really stand out.

Steve

Nevermind, you guys are south of SB and I'm coming from the north. =[

~Vroomer

What is another 45 minutes to cruise with the gang?? C'mon you know you want to. Just leave home at 4:00 am and you can make it.

Steve

I'm Sorry I offended you. I thought/ hope that people have the intelligence and insight to realize that I really an happy since you gave me exactly what I wanted in a timely matter at a great price.

So all that view this thread. Buy from Blunt. Hes a good guy that lets you stay at your house, Makes you great coffee, and steak, drink his beer and so on and so forth!

I think it is time for a group hug, break out the marshmallows and sing Kumbaya now...

(this is a humorous attempt to lighten up a week of very weird posts)

I do enjoy this board, and everyone (well almost everyone) on it.

Steve

i'm going to be driving up from LA, any other 02'ers coming from here? i wanna caravan with everyone, but i dont wanna be the only 02 amongst the new bmw's that are doing the "official" caravan from balboa park.

Pierre usually has a group of '02s that comes up from LA area. He is in Camarillo. I am sure he will add his 02 cents worth as plans develop.

keep tuned in,

Steve

I was 30 when I bought my '02, unfortunately it was brand new then and that was 30 years ago. Thus I am officially in the OFC (Old Farts Club).

I still love to drive it every day, it keeps me young. I have access to a new X3 sitting in my driveway, but I still choose the '02, unless it happens to be raining. (have to replace the windshield gasket someday)

Steve (no, that isn't me in that "FatAss" picture)

I don't know what happened to the thread I started, but it quickly became apparent that it should be ignored lest we give that annoying poster any more of what he wanted.. attention.

This is a great forum, thanks to those that keep it going!

That thread is still on "life Support" down there somewhere. It did generate some very interesting pictures. My wife happened to look in when I was scrolling past the "Fat ass.jpg". Imagine trying to explain that one.

Steve (oops, I think I just gave your thread a few more moments of life)

The great thing about this board is that it is so active that any ignored "nonsense" thread will run off the page quickly. If we choose to be non-responsive, they will just go-away on their own. They will remain alive as long as we breathe life into them.

And still two weeks to go. 2364 people registered. Great event for any Bimmer enthusiast. Only had about ten 02's there last year, looks like a much better 02 turn out this year.

That was a support vehicle for the French cars.

No,

They were already parked there when we arrived.

Somebody should have put a number plate on their car.

There.. Now it fits right in with all the others..

Is that Beater Toyota with two different types of wheels part of your group? A classic for sure.

Good story. It is always fun talking with another 02 owner.
