You were missed Barney! Had several 02rs ask where you were. Agreed on the black and white photos Tim shares. I may need to invest in a camera like his.

Fantastic turnout for our October Austin, Texas BMW 2002 and Vintage BMW Cars & Coffee. Shout out to out of town guest Le Tran (2002 Garage Werks) from California and Rudy from Houston for attending. Also had several guests from New Orleans that were in town for the F1 event at Circuit of the Americas. Once again we had a first time 02 show up. A real sweet 74Tii. Also, shout out to fellow 02r Tim for sharing his black and white pics. Looking forward to Terry Sayther's 02berfest event in Fredericksburg, Texas next weekend. I'm sure you know I'll be sure to take and share pics. Greg Resa

Thanks for sharing!!

That 02 belonged to John from Houston. Unfortunately, John was hit with flooding again and his home took on 7 foot of water. He had placed his 02 on stands before the hurricane but with 7 foot of water it didn't matter. Sucks in that this is the second time he's had to deal with his home being flooded!

Good read! Thanks for sharing your article with us.

First go on putting a shine on the Nardi. So far so good! Will go over it again and work some more of the fine scratches off. Thinking I'm going to have to be sure I drive Stella with my sunglasses on since the Nardi will be so bright and shiny! ?

Not a vintage car but a vintage 1950 BMW R51/2 Motorcycle. ?

Would love to have you join us! Can't speak for Terry but its possible he might have a loaner 02 you could drive if your not in yours. ?

Congrats and welcome to the madness!! Not in California so I don't know how far you are from where Le Tran's 2002 Garage Werks shop is. Would be a solid choice to take it for the things you mentioned wanting done. 2002garagewerks.com

Updated info from Terry's latest email: Dear Fellow Texas 02berFesters! Our Fall event is quickly coming up on our calendar, and Debbie and I would like to share some details about the event--October 26-29, 2017. This year we are trying something new--a CULTURE DAY! Don't be scared!!-- we hope it will be a day to learn more about the history of the Texas Hill Country, and give our rally participants an opportunity to spend an extra day together. The plan tentatively goes like this: For those who would like to drive together, we will be meeting at Terry Sayther Automotive (1606 Fortview Road, Austin, TX 78704)on Thursday, Oct. 26 at 1pm. We will take off 1:30 or so and drive some lovely back roads to our host hotel, PEACH TREE INN (401 South Washington, Fredericksburg, TX 78624, 1-800-843-4666). We will have dinner somewhere along Main Street in this charming, historic town. Friday, Oct 27 will start early with breakfast together followed by a short drive to the Lyndon Baines Johnson State/National Park for an early tour of the Texas White House. LBJ's car collection--including his famous Amphicar--is on display in the adjacent airplane hanger facility, as well as the special smaller Air Force One that could land on his ranch. There are also several other sites to see as we travel Ranch Road One towards the Visitor's Center--the birthplace home, The Sam Johnson homestead, the Johnson Family Cemetery, and the historic Junction School. We'll spend the morning there. Then we will drive to nearby Johnson City for lunch. Johnson City is also the site of the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historic Park. The park's Visitor's Center offers exhibits about LBJ and his wife, Lady Bird, and a short film about them both. We will have the opportunity to visit his childhood home, and take a walking tour of the Johnson Settlement. The Settlement looks at a broader scope of Texas history, and has exhibits about cowboys, cattle drives, and frontier life. Several dog-trot cabins and stonecut barns will give us a glimpse on life in the late 1800s. There is also Withers and Spaulding General Store, set up like an early 1920s mercantile. Lots to see. Johnson City also has several shopping opportunities--antique stores, Texana, even a cool Science Museum--so you can feel free to mosey about on your own in the afternoon. Or, you can head back to our Peach Tree home and take a nap, shop, or drink! We will have dinner in Fredericksburg, then breakfast on Saturday….we drive to eat! Saturday morning we will hit the road for a fabulous Hill Country Drive, returning to F-burg in the late afternoon. Saturday night dinner we usually break into smaller groups for dinner on-your-own. Sunday morning we will share coffee and breakfast--then say our so-longs, head for home and start dreaming of our Spring 02BerFest! You are welcome to join us at any point for this event--we do request that if you are planning on the LBJ Tour Day that you let us know. We need a HEAD COUNT for lunch on Friday, so if you can come, PLEASE LET US KNOW ASAP. Just reply to this email with name/number at your earliest convenience. Also, if you had not made reservations at PEACH TREE INN, please do so soon. Mention that you are part of the BMW CLUB when calling, as they have rooms blocked for our event and may otherwise tell you no rooms are available. Look forward to seeing eveyone-- Terry and Debbie PS: We are planning to leave for the BMW CCA Octoberfest event in New Orleans just a couple days after our 02berfest ends. Let us know if you're interested in this week long event---we can caravan over there!

Another goos turnout for our Austin, Texas Looking monthly C&C. Five 1st timers this month! Our ATX area BMW 02 and classic BMW group just keeps growing stronger. ?

A few more pics... ? Grateful to be able to to assist and learn from two incredibly knowledge friends. Be hard pressed to find a better way to spend a Friday!

Spent the better part of Friday with two good friends helping Ed Z prep his 67 BMW 2000CS Coupe for paint. Managed to squeeze in a quick install of a new thermostat for Stella. Oh, and the wheels Barney has decided on for his Turkis are spot on!

Would be an absolute honor to have you join us! ???

Good deal Ed! Steven booked his room yesterday. I believe Rudy booked his rooms last week. He told me he's planning on bringing 3 of his 02s.

I've had the pleasure of participating in several of Terry's 02berfests and have had a great time at each. From the 02s, the folks, the drives, the food and the history of the Fredericksburg area it all just makes for a great weekend. As usual, Terry Sayther Automotive will be sponsoring the 2017 Fall Texas 02berfest in October. This year we are adding a day of CULTURE to the event. We will be heading out to Fredericksburg on Thursday Oct 26, and Friday we will spend the day learning about Lyndon Johnson. We will visit various Johnson family locations. And naturally, we will be blasting down country roads between locations and eating well! Saturday we will return to our original longer format rally drives with several hours of Hill Country roads. Hope you'll all be able to make it. The Peach Tree Inn located in Fredericksburg will be the base of operation and Terry had block of rooms being held. Be sure to mention you're with the BMW 2002 group. The number for the Peach Tree Inn is 1-800-843-4666 http://www.thepeachtreeinn.com/ I've added a few random pics from previous 02berfest events. Feel free to ask any questions you might have. Terry Sayther's Fall 02berfest - Fredericksburg, TX

Event Title: Austin, TX area BMW 2002 & Classic C&C Event Author: Big_Lebowski Event Date: 09/16/2017 08:00 AM to 09/16/2017 10:00 AM Our monthly ATX area BMW 2002 and Classic BMW C&C is set Saturday morning, September 16th at @ 8am. We meet at Mozart's on Lake Austin Blvd and use the adjacent Hula Hut Parking area. Our monthly ATX C&C has grown from just a couple of 02s at our first event to where I may have to seek a new location with more parking. Not uncommon to have guests drive in Houston, San Antonio etc. Usually a short drive after the C&C to a local Tex-Mex restaurant for some good food and more 02 camaraderie! Feel free to pm me if you have any questions! Greg Resa Austin, TX area BMW 2002 & Classic C&C

Hard to beat a morning working on a classic BMW with good friends! Thanks for letting me join in on the fun!!

Damn Barney, you're absolutely killing it on this 02 build. Can't wait to see it!!

Like the black and thought about going that route. Ed Z hooked me up with the one I got at an extremely good price.

Purchased my adapter kit off "flea Bay" as well and need to do the install.

Look forward to updates and pictures!!!

Sent you a pm... Also, Terry Sayther's Fall 02berfest is coming up at the end of October. A really cool weekend gathering out in Fredericksburg that always has a good turnout. Terry and Debbie map out some cool routes for us to cruise.
