I'm BACK!

[Delia]

We always come back!

 

After nearly 12 years of wandering the hinterlands, working of other peoples 2002s, and/or trying to satisfy my hunger for a 2002 with a series of E30s, I've acquired a solid and fairly original 1972 2002tii (#2761221).

 

It's been a full, half-century of 2002 enthusiasm and (BMWCCA membership).  I can't say there haven't been a few speed bumps, detours, and potholes along the way.  But all-in-all, it's been worth the effort. 

 

Like my first 2002 (#1666747), It is ironically and justifiably Chamonix over Marine Blue vinyl.  I've come full-circle.

 

Onward!

Welcome back Delia!  After 15 years, I came back recently too.  It's true, we always come back.

Always enjoy your contributions other places on the internet…. Congratulations on your new ride and hope to see you more on FAQ!

I enjoy reading your posts on BAT auctions. Where did you find that beautiful 02?

[1936spyder]

We’re all very happy for you and glad to see you behind the wheel of an 02 that you can call your own once again!

 

Hopefully you’ll make it down to Los Gatos for cars and coffee soon. If not, this is the perfect excuse for me to finally drag my butt up to Marin for cars and coffee one of these days.

 

Very much looking forward to hearing more about the car and your plans for it as I’m sure it needs a bit of fettling to make it Delia perfect.

Congratulations on the purchase.

Glad that you are back. 

[Schon '02]

Great! We’ll keep an eye open for you a on the Marin backroads. 

[Rodolfo Lasparri]

Wonderful! I've always enjoyed reading your past insights here and on BAT, such great insights and wealth of information.

Welcome back to the fold!  Looks like a fun car.

 

I essentially got in at the same time you got out.

Welcome back,  I have stayed in both the E30 and 02 world for the last 17 years.  I've been following updates on your 91 E30 318is Diamondschwarz repaint since my 91 318i Diamondschwarz metallic paint is toast. At least with Chamonix,  you don't have to worry about your metallic paint going south.?

Welcome back! That’s a clean looking car. I hope you spend more time here than BAT.

Welcome back.

Nice collection current, past and cars surrounding yours!

Would love to follow your E30 somewhere. (totalled my 91 318is years ago)

Is the paint original? It looks like it has just the right amount of 'off' in the white.

So that is the car you offered the knowledge of for me to buy, yet secretly withheld the contact!  

 

just blowing up my skirt. 

 

I guess my finders fee was not generous enough. LOL

Welcome back!  Delia, you should know by now that 02 ownership is an addiction--a harmless (usually!) one, but nonetheless an addiction.  Some of us never get away from it.  We'll expect to see you and your "new" tii at Mid America this coming April.  I remember driving Julius at the very first Midwest 02Fest years ago--the first tii I ever drove--so am looking forward to seeing the new one.  Is he/she named yet?

 

Cheers
