Went on Saturday, February 13 to the yearly vintage car show at the Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan. Attendance was much lower than in previous years, but, as always, there were many nice cars.
Check out the pics I took there:

I'm Still Here!
Hi to all! Sorry about the lack of updates, but there is not much going on with my BMW's lately.
The economic downturn has meant significant salary and benefit cuts from my employer, so paying bills and putting food on the table doesn't leave much for car stuff.
The touring is still at Carma, and , although work on it is on hold, I hope to resume the project as money becomes available. I thought about selling either the Baur or the Schwarz 202 to use the funds on the touring, but I like both cars too much. Maybe I'll change my mind later, but I'm holding on to them for now.

Touring Update
Work continues to progress slowly but surely on the touring. Lack of funds is the main thing slowing it down, However, this was meant to be a long-term project from the start, so there is no rush.
The new trunk floor has been installed, and welding has started in other areas. Hopefully the economy will improve soon, and it can be moved along at a faster pace.
Here are the latest pics:

Patillas Meet Photos
Yes, I know. This was two months ago (October 11, 2009). Sue me.
It turned out to be a great event, way beyond our expectations. Close to 100 cars attended, and a great time was had by all. Planning has started for next year!

Call me lazy
Haven't updated this for a while, so I'm going to make an effort to get anyone reading this (if anyone does), up to date.
As I mentioned on my previous post, I attended the Bimmermeet at Road Atlanta, part of the BMW CCA Oktoberfest festivities. Had a great time there on Friday and Saturday, and even got to see my daughter Michelle drive the track for the first time! I'm posting the pics slide show for your enjoyment.

Planning for October 11 meet in Patillas
Two members of the PR Classic Bimmer Group suggested an event for all BMW owners and went ahead and got a locale in Patillas, on the southeastern part of the island.
The date was set for October 11 and it looks like attendance will be great. We have gotten enough sponsors to be able to offer t-shirts to the first 100 owners who arrive in their BMW's, and will try to get more freebies to hand out.
I'll be posting pics here after the event.
I will also be attending the Bimmermeet at Road Atlanta on October 3. This is the last day of the BMW CCA Oktoberfest, and an invitation was extended to those of us who couldn't be there the whole week. Should be a fun day, since I have several of my mainland '02 buddies attending. We will bringing the Baur and Michelle's 635csi.

Atlanta Micro Meet on 8/14/09 and Touring Update
Met up with Jon and Zac from the Atlanta area during my trip there on the weekend of 8/14 to 8/16. We got together at a local Starbucks and chatted about old BMW's for a while. Both their '02's are quite nice, and the engine on Jon's car sounds mean.
On the touring front, not much to report. Sandblasting will begin soon, and most of the required sheet metal has been bought. As I have mentioned before, this is a long term project, which will progress as time and funds allow.
In other news, my daughter Michelle sold her E36 325i and got herself a sweet 1989 635csi. It is an automatic with Dinan engine and transmission upgrades, and looks very nice. I had a chance to drive it during this trip and got many compliments from people who thought it was mine.
