that would make a GREAT bay area daily driver.

I ran across some info on that car some time ago while surfing the 'web. Let me see if I can find it, and I'll post the link.

While doing my morning searches I came across this! What a coincidence!

www.luiscezar.blogspot.com/2008/10/bmw-2002tii-schnitzer-esquife-voador.html

I've just got to translate it from Portuguese. I believe it was a Schnitzer called "Esquife". (EDIT: The translate function works pretty well on this page. Although I think they meant for some variant of drive more so than "walked" ;-))

If anyones got a link to an English/French/German site it would be appreciated.

My plans for the future:

1 Get Pinchy on the road

2 Get a house with a garage/barn/yard with room for a tent

3 Buy an 02 with a damaged roof or crapily installed non-OEM sunroof

4 Build a 2-seater homage replica of the Esquife

5 Race car in Brazil vintage races

Seems do-able...

Heres another article in English

Spoiler alert: the Esquife actually won the 1500km of Interlagos race!

I think the car was an attempt by the Factory to try to minimize the tall greenhouse on our cars, without reducing visability.
