    Quite the dilemma....The 73's 'value' has had a negative effect, so now it's only a sunny weekend occasional garage car
    on the other hand a few people had asked how much for the 86 ....and then they skulk away :-(
    I pitched a price that I 'felt was quite 'fair' given the present market..so she is living the good life with with me

    Long-time no-see Ron. Hope all is well. Yale and I were cruising through upstate New York and a guy was entering the highway with an old BMW motorcycle...he floored it to catch up to us and I thought it might be you but it wasn't.

    It wasn't a very old BMW if he "floored it" and DID catch up. I time mine with a calendar. 😉

    They certainly do. My car's a '78--I've removed almost 700 lbs and it rips.

    Hi Mark...not my bike, I had the dealer pick it up for some much needed work, first time in the shop, I've owned it 26 years!

    good to hear you and Yale cars are getting 'exorcised' to hot out for me and working lots of overtime

    Today I took the 86 Carrera to blow out the spiders etc.

    Cant believe I've owned it for 6 years, I originally intended on fixing stuff and 'flipping' it....I guess I'm a very slow flipper
    I have had a recent un invoked inquiry to sell, yea I 'need the room etc, bla bla bla... but I just cant get over just how great this thing drives!
    135k on the clock, I've put 18k on it, did a DE day a few years ago with it, brakes, suspension and engine are wonderful and used no oil!

    I better text the potential buyer and then tuck it away for the coming winter
