engine and drivetrain Met a new O2er today

[Benetton]

So my sister and i swapped cars today. I was driving her e30 318is and she had my 2002. We met at to the local Big 5 and when we walked to our cars and went to unlock the door we heard, "excuse me miss". There was a guy waiting in his truck to ask the Whoever drove the 02 some questions. So my sister immediatley goes " it's his" and we start talking. He said he just bout a 75 and that its its hard to find parts and how he needs to rebuild his engine. I tell him parts are actually pretty easy to come by, and how logging on to Bmw2002faq is a must. We part ways after our short conversation, but the i still have that feeling that you get when you meet another 02er. I've told many people about this website, referred a couple people who called griots wanting to buy my dads car, but ive never seen any of them post. This guy was contemplating selling his car because he cant find parts. Brian Capp i gave him your name for the engine rebuild ( he spun a bearing) so does that get me a discount on my body work? =D

Thats not very nice. But then again it does not surprise me that a "guest" is being rude.

Before the switch to the new faq and the loss of many long respected 02' disciples, posts like that made up a good chunk of what was here. IMO just going through all the strictly mechanical and "will these wheels fit" questions gets very boring. Keep in mind that many people here are friends and enjoy personal stories, its what holds the fact together. Otherwise it would just be cdeisel and the other knowledge pits spewing thier brains out to the new guys.

Nice story, Its always great meeting other people that share the same interest. Unfortunatly you dont see many people around down here that do but when you find someone its awsome :-D

My thoughts exactly. if you guys see another derogatory remark, just ignore. They will eventually go away.

Dont Hate the Player Hate the Game

sorry guys i had to reply, im ready for the board to switch to the format of others, where you have to log into post. My last three posts have had ridicule from "guests". I might just have to join the e30 board r3vand ditch this one.

....any kind of name. Then register under another name after you've worn that one out. I seriously doubt that requiring registering will have any effect. Best advice: it's the Internet and you have to either a) grow thick skin or learn to ignore the jerks.

I wish people were more respectful or knew when to let a topic go......but alas....'tis not to be.
