[PenelopePitstop]

Hi, my names Penelope and I just got '69 baby blue BMW and have been working to get it back on the road with my moms boyfriend. (Bourkeco)

I look forward to meeting some of you along the way....

Love your username and the wheels on the '69!

Wasn't Penelope Pitstop from a Saturday morning cartoon (maybe Speed Buggy)??

Her car was the Compact Pussycat. My sister was a fan.

Awesome! Your life is never going to be like it was, it is going to be better. These cars have a way of enriching the lives of their caretakers.

Sweet car! I'm close to San Pedro in Manhattan Beach so if you need parts or help just holler.

[Miked2002]

Hey Penelope,

When you're in San Pedro, I'm just up the road from you. My son and I just got through completely rebuilding our 02. If you need help with anything, let us know. We'd love to help out.

Regards,

there is a 2002 in that picture? all i see is a stack of hoosier r-comp race tires. where is the car those go to? ;-)

[Lebowski]

Nice clean looking early 02! I like your wheels... are they Ronal Kleebats?

Have fun!

The wheels on the car are Cosmics and the R comps were going on my 69 but they are about a foot to wide and they are 205s which I think are more like 250s.. Penelope has been hands on and gotten her hands dirty (really dirty.. head gasket). She has the heart of a lion just like her car!!!

So they are...Cosmic Mk1s. I have a set waiting to go on the Touring.

Penelope Pitstop is a character from the Wacky Races cartoon. I watched it when I was a kid and now my kids watch it on Boomerang (the retro cartoon network). See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penelope_Pitstop

Penelope - congrats on your '02!

welcome to the Cult! we need more ladies around!

You are in good hands with Scott. Have fun with the new wheels... and stay patient... they are great cars for those who don't need power windows and AC.
