I'd like my 2002 in a tii please.

Sigh. One of my big mistakes in life was not going the extra bucks for the tii in '73. Opted for the carbureted version instead. Still a great car though.

We had a brown Bimmer 2002 tii (square tail lights) that we ran into the ground . . . 120K miles. We had our first child about the time it hit 120K and dropped its differential in the street, so we sold it to our mechanic, who restored it. It's still going strong.

Here's a photo of the same make/model/year as my baby, but my baby's candy apple red with a white top . . .

My dad is original owner on our darling . . . 200K+, engine is running like a top but the body's getting a bit rough in spots and the tranny has never been strong (2 forward speed auto . . . ugh.)

(That's a '62 Studebaker Lark Daytona convertible for folks who've never been privileged to own one. Ours has the Stude-Packard police pursuit engine and a Holley 4 barrel (original equipment) in it.)

We used to have a '72 TR-6, now have a '64 TR-4. (Anybody interested in buying it? My father in law took it on a bad debt, it's a fairly rare surrey top and in good shape, but I'd rather keep the Stude.)
