I was just thinking the other day that I haven't had to boot anyone off the list in MONTHS! It feels nice, so let's not ruin it OK????

So if anyone has a really mint 2002 out there they don't need, send me and email.

How about an original 1968 1600TI? Same body as the 2002, but slightly
different
under the hood, this was for the Euro market only (and Canada) never
imported
into the US in '68 cause it wouldn't pass federal smog standards (which
in '68
had to be pretty broad). The TI (as opposed to the fuel-injected tii)
came with
twin side-draught Solex PHH carbs, that's one carb throat for each
cylinder...but Solex is out of business and the carbs were finicky, so
mine went
from twin Weber DCOEs to a nice streetable Weber 32-36, but I got a
38-38 in
the box ready to put on it when gas goes back down to $1.50/gallon
(yeah,
right).
Seriously, I may have to put it on the block if I lose my parking
privleges in
lovely car-friendly SF...the dark clouds are threatening...
It has MANY spare parts and is Granada (dark red), original color. I'd
hate to
part with it, but if I HAVE to I want it to go where it'll be
appreciated.
Now for some bike content: I have hauled many vintage bikes on and in
this car,
I even have an old school white PreAlpina roof rack (circa 1976)
sometimes
attached to the raingutters...how was that?
