Oh come on guys... All you Baur owners, for the sake of my crumbling self esteem, please tell me that you at least sometimes envy us our cool swivelling quarterlight windows... ? Yup Mike - that works quite nicely too. But the passenger quarterligt is just a little more awkward to reach while at 9/10ths along a fabulously twisty backroad... ?
-
Mark, much as I love my quarterlights; in this particular case, I would be more than happy to swap my swivelling quarterlights for your fixed ones... ?
-
Done that - Got the t-shirt... ?

Hey there, I'll be in Orlando from late afternoon on Thursday the 23rd May to early afternoon Sunday the 26th May. Just wondering if anyone here might have some suggestions for classic car related stuff to do during that time?? Anything 02 would obviously be amazing, but I doubt I'l be that lucky. But seeing as it's over the weekend, might there be any Cars and Coffee meets or similar?\ If not, how about a decent car museum or something like that? All suggestions are welcome... ?

Figured you lot might appreciate this little article... ? https://viaretro.com/2019/05/a-pleasant-breeze-through-the-quarterlights/

Glad you enjoyed it Steve. Luckily, the experience didn't put Tony off 02-ownership...

Hey Gents, As I'm sure anyone who has ever spent a moment on ViaRETRO will know, we're quite partial towards 02's and classic BMW's in general. I've been into 02's for more than a quarter of a century now, but also two of our guest contributors own, drive and enjoy 02-ownership. Still, we try to keep the content on ViaRETRO as varied as possible. Today however, Tony Wawryk keeps us entertained as he sums up his time - almost five years - with die Zitrone, a late Golf yellow BMW 2002tiiLux. We're sure most of you will relate and have similar tales to tell of your own 02-ownership... ? https://viaretro.com/2019/04/die-zitrone-a-sweet-and-occasionally-sour-classic-journey/

I'm thrilled to report that Dave and his rally-02 are now back in rude health... ? Enjoy the article: https://viaretro.com/2019/03/reunited-and-it-feels-so-good/

Mr. Vyse, I have never claimed to possess so much as a percentage of the class you have...

Nick, I wasn't aware that you or the UK forum had a copyright on the info and pictures you yourself had merely found on the internet...?? TG2k2 and tjones02, glad you enjoyed the article! ?

Hi NK-lovers, So I must confess that there's sadly no NK in my garage currently. I sorely miss my '71 Atlantik blau 2000, and often dream of what could have been had I only seen through the very full resto of my '65 Granada rot 1800ti. Oh well... one day there shall live another NK with my 02's... In the meantime, one can always dream... perhaps about the oddball estate versions which were created by various coachbuilders on the Neue Klasse. Check out the story over on ViaRETRO: https://viaretro.com/2019/02/pre-touring-bavarian-estates/

Hey Gents, Granted, it's not an 02 but it's the same period, and I just sooooo love those big E3 saloons - or Bavarians as you called them in the US... No affiliation with seller, just thought I'd share this beauty with you lot. ? https://viaretro.com/2019/02/prime-find-of-the-week-the-bavarian-performance-saloon/ -
I’m glad you guys have enjoyed the article. Needless to say, I’ve passed your words of encouragement on to Dave... ?

One of our ViaRETRO contributors drives an 02 as well - or rather, he rallies it. Quite committed too... ? However, he's had a bit of a mishap. Sadly, his well-sorted 02 now needs ironing before it can return to its smile-inducing, sideways-travelling norm. Please, let's all give Dave a bit psychological support for his upcoming rebuild... ? https://viaretro.com/2019/01/how-to-improve-your-car-without-really-trying/

HaHa!! Those bloody Brits - they always insist on doing things their own way. Now they're even leaving the EU. Don't get me started... ?
-
Thx mate! ? It'll be a lot more great once I finish what has now snowballed into a very full restoration...
-
Thx Gents, Glad you enjoyed the article. ? Now it's your turn - get out there and make the most of those autumn colours... Things are slowly proceeding with my Green Devil - thx for asking... ? I've come as far as now having it fully disassembled with drivetrain and everything removed. Only the two subframes are still attached to the body so I can move it about easier. Next up is repairing that left front corner, then a few minor rust repairs to make her nicer, fresh paint, and then I get to put it all back together again...

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen, We've got a splash of beautiful autumn colours along with a bit of 02 on ViaRETRO this morning. I hope you enjoy the pictures... ? https://viaretro.com/2018/11/autumn-time-is-driving-time/

Thx! ? Glad you enjoyed it...

Steve, the pleasure with thoroughly on my side! ? It was great to meet you in person. The world wide web is a great way of communicating with likeminded enthusiasts, but nothing beats a face-to-face chat over a cup of coffee. Go ahead, call me old-fashioned... ? I sense we could have talked for severals hours more. Hopefully we will get a chance to do it all again some time soon...
-
Yup, there's a lot of that in their workshop! But their modifications aren't for the faint of heart... ?

Hi everyone, After my Vegas visit, we have some more classic BMW content on ViaRETRO today. I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with Chris for the day - I hope you guys can at least enjoy the article which resulted: http://www.viaretro.com/2018/10/sinful-bavarians/

Ladies and Gents, One of our guest-writers was recently lucky enough to get a guided tour of the amazing new headquarters of BMW Group Classic and their drool-worthy collection of BMW's of yesteryear. Don your bib and enjoy the article: ? http://www.viaretro.com/2018/09/if-you-want-to-design-the-future-you-must-leaf-through-the-past/

It's even better than that! The MGB GT which you so like, is in fact a MGC GT. So you get a torquey straight-6 which sounds absolutely brilliant...
