Hanging out today at Mission Raceway, watching Ian compete in his race spec 1970 2002 (white). A perfect summer day. Met Paul in his Inka '73 tii. This time I brought my '74 tii (instead of the Alfa).

 

Here's a couple more shots from my Wednesday morning outing with Paul (his pics above). Paul and I had a fun day out, checking out Wes' shop. At the end of the afternoon, we took the pair to the scales. As expected the little Alfa was the lightweight at 2,168 pounds. BMW was 2,460 at weigh in:

The pair at Wes':

Loving the cup holders!

FYI that highway from Pemberton to Lillooet is called the Duffey Lake Road. Not Duthie.

 

Just Google the Lake and Provincial Park of the same name and you'll see why that stretch of Highway 99 is nicknamed that. 

 

Trust me,

Adrian 

94 Octane, no ethanol. Also a tii

Cupholder?  Haven't test fit it yet!   I will take a couple pics in the car.

Are you willing to share the STL file for this cup holder? If love to try printing one for my 2002tii. I've find a but of nylon printing on our printer.

My '74 tii was Amazon Green. This car's twin to start, but navy now.

I have to agree with early responders. The 5-speed transmission is an essential upgrade as far as I'm concerned. Of course I might be biased by the 5-day / 50-hours in the driver's seat trek I just made. Ottawa West to Vancouver.

Everyone should own and Alfa

Perfect pair!

Oh! Forgot to mention.

Other than the '67 Guilia Sprint Veloce and '74 2002tii, our "practical car" is...

 

 

Stepnose Alfa. Like the '67 Giulia Sprint Veloce I just picked up! [emoji4]





Compliments my tii

NICE!!!  There are a few of us in the Lower Mainland.  Welcome.  There is also the German Car Show in May, and the BMW show in August.  2018 is looking good.

 

Cheers,  Paul

 

Can we connect DM or email? I am bringing my 2002tii into town (from Ottawa) next Monday. I'd love to start getting involved.

I'm at adrianburke23 - gmail

 

Side Note: I just bought that 67 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce on BaT. Getting in a few weeks. If Italians interest you.

Your agent is mis-informed.  ICBC did have an agreed-upon policy but they discontinued the program.  Either they were getting killed or there were not enough policies to make it worthwhile.  At least 2 years since they dropped the program.  Luckily Hagerty filled the void for me at a reasonable price, and without headaches.

 

Thanks - I'm glad someone has the specifics on British Columbia and ICBC. I'll give Hagerty a call.

 

Yes, the show was great. It's annual, so you can go next year. Or better yet, you and I could bring our 2002tii's - my blue and your orange will look complementary (colour-wise) side by side. The show has super/hypercars, but also a selection of classics - 73 911RS, Jags, American muscle - http://www.luxurysupercar.com/

might depend on the province (in BC dont all vehicles have to be insured with ICBC?)?  you can in alberta, but I think you might have to use a broker.  i went through AMA, but the policy is underwritten by Hagerty.  

 

I am in Vancouver, BC and talked to my ICBC agent today. Yes, all cars in BC are insured by ICBC for basic coverage and liability.

But supplemental insurance can be added on with another insurer. That said, the ICBC agent claimed that in the case of classic cars, an agreed to value could be reached with ICBC. Similar to what everyone here was saying Hagerty and others were willing to do. I am not 100% sure I trust her on that, but... ICBC has a history of wanting to write-off anything with damage over blue/black book. Cars that could still be used being written off. Ugh.

 

Side Note: there was a Hagerty booth at today's Luxury Supercar Weekend (Pagani, McLaren, Jaguar, Aston, classic muscle, classic JDM, classic brit - automotice awesomeness). Unmanned every time I went by, but clearly they operate in BC.

 

Kind of annoying they were never in the damn booth, so I can talk to them.

Does anyone have any recommendations for Appraisers (and mechanics for that matter) in Vancouver, BC, Canada?

 

@PaulTWinterton ?

 

Thanks in advance.

 
Call & ask!  877-922-9701

On it! Thanks!

n00b Question- will Hagerty insure cars in Canada?

 

I'm about to change provinces, so will be getting a new insurer. I feel like Hagerty would be good option, understanding the classic car market, more dependable on payouts (?), etc.

 

For my '74 BMW 2002tii

Hello 2002 FAQ Members
 
I am very excited to say as of Wednesday last week I joined y'all as a 2002 owner!
 
Initially, I was going to have the car shipped to me. It was near Newark, NJ, and I live in Austin Texas. It's an 1800 mile voyage.

Congratulations on a nice buy. I love your story. If it wasn't an adventure with unexpected turns, madcap driving and innovative solutions, it wouldn't be a classic car story.

I'm about to do the same, only longer. The two of us are driving a '74 BMW 2002tii that I picked up in February from Ottawa to Vancouver. I think we need our heads examined.

Railcar shipping requires 5" clearance and I've got 3.5". Semi trailer shipping is $3,300 Canadian. So yeah, we're driving. Five days, fifty hours and 4,500 km (2,800 miles). Lots of podcasts, music, and adventure. But no air conditioning. Ack.

I hope we solve our surprises as well as you did.
