    I'm pretty certain that is not Bob Smith's dealership. I've been staring at that video and in the far background you see a bridge over the roadway. In the area where Smith's place was, there are no over-the-roadway bridges. I'm hung-up on that bridge as the identifying/locating mark. So I'm still scratching my head as to where the other SoCal dealers were. Vasek Polak was Hermosa Beach ?? What were the other dealers when Rockford was filming from 1974 - 1980 ?? The "obvious" location would be Santa Monica since much Rockford filming was done there. Was there a Santa Monica BMW ?? I haven't got that figured out ...... yet. Cheers, Carl

    And to complete my "homesick" trilogy, TE2002 zoomed over to one of the most iconic of locations for a couple of pictures ....... about three years ago, while walking "right there," I kept thinking to myself that somebody needs to take some 2002 pictures right here ......... whew, I could almost start blubbering in my Fosters ........ Cheers, Carl

    TE2002 also did some photo's at another of my favorite watering holes: Peg Leg, in the Pyrmont area ....... more homesickness for fantastic food and world-class cocktails. The fellows that own the place used to bartend at Milk & Honey in London. And if you know about such things, you'll know that Milk & Honey has been on the list several times as one of the top 50 bars in the world, so these guys know how to put together a great cocktail ..... and they did !! Cheers, Carl

    A short while back I suggested to TE2002 that he take a picture or two of his 2002 at a couple of the watering holes in Sydney that I had visited. He just sent me a couple of pictures ........ whew, I ain't exactly blubbering, but I sure am homesick for the Hotel Palisade ........ what a great place for a beer and a sandwich, and also for some world-class cocktails in the Henry Deane while enjoying a superb view of The Sydney Bridge ......... Cheers, Carl

    +1 JerryC. The '74tii first zoomed north from San Luis Obispo to Santa Cruz in 1975, and many times since, both north and south. A fantastic drive. Cheers, Carl

    Here's an Autoweek article from way back in JANUARY 2002 that my sister has been hiding/hoarding for years and years. Finally at dinner just this past Christmas evening did she "finally" show it to me and claimed that she had shown it to me years ago ....... if so, I sure couldn't remember. AND, in that super-small world way, and another huge surprise: the article was actually authored by my pal Senior Chief Miller !! Hotel Sierra !! Cheers, Carl

    Biggest 2020 accomplishments: I still own it, it has a fresh engine rebuild, and the rims continue as factory "fresh." And this summer the '74tii managed to make a new friend here in town ......... Cheers, Carl
