Blast from the past, shirt-wise...

[72touring]

I stumbled across this photo over the weekend. My girlfriend (now wife) Helen and myself from 1985, packing it up and getting the hell out of Houston (on the way to Boston). On the shirt: I produced and sold that shirt in a small-space ad in the back of BMWCCA's Roundel magazine. A less-than-authorized use of the logo. Never got my 'cease and desist' letter, nor did I get rich selling them.

Big Country was well known for their vigorous defense of their logo.

She looks like she is crazy over you. Is it Helen?

[fiftytakedowns]

I want one, BAD

Interesting.

Here's what's on the back of one of my '02s.

If you made one today it might say "In 1976 God stopped making BMW's. And in 1991 he stopped making them again."

Les, cool. Was it on the car when you bought it, or did you have it made?

Yes, Bill, it's the wonderful Helen. She's quick to admit the benefits of 02 ownership, mainly that the same mindset that keeps you driving basically the same car for 32 years will probably keep the same wife around for at least 25...

quoted for truth.

Na, it would be "In '76 god stopped making BMW's, and in '84 his chariot became an e30"!

I was trying to figure out how to tie the e30 in there.

well done.

I bought them (see pic for the other) around 5 years back.

Can't remember who (possibly a Faq member) but I've searched to find him again without success.

Me thinks there is still a market a for this shirt (at least among this community).
