Well, I found one of mine! A 1972 BMW 2002, silver blue, manual transmission and saddle leather interior (most likely real leather). I was taking a drive on beautiful country backroads, when I spotted this beauty.
Oh, I know she needs some work, but don't we all? I have loved this particular car since I first saw one many years ago. The only two items it needs to go with it is a German mechanic and a great body shop. Oh, and did I mention a ton of money? I guess I forgot that part. ;)
I needed to take a photo of this rusty beauty, so I pulled over. Unfortunately, I could not capture the front end, which is as cute as the back end, but I was standing in the middle of a curvy road, and needed to be careful, or I will never ever get to drive one. I can just imagine myself driving those long, narrow backroads in my old, but classic car. Envisioning is part of acquiring.
Anyhow, I am smiling because it has been so long since I have seen this car anywhere around. Oh, there are lots of other BMWs, etc. but this car is my beauty. So I smile and say to myself "someday". Besides, I am saving my monopoly money for this:
I love that BMW! The color is magnificent! Today I saw a cherry red Vespa and it stole my heart away and made me smile. But my monopoly money is going toward a new camera. Maybe next year for the Vespa...and the BMW?

I adore old cars...
ReplyDeleteThat Beamer is so beautiful! I've never seen a baby blue one before. I think you should keep an eye on this one. At least make an iquiry.
ReplyDeleteIt is adorable...and I love the color (my favorite).
ReplyDeleteBlessings and prayers, andrea
Deidra - I don't currently play. That is why I want one; to satisfy that dream inside of me.
ReplyDeleteWhat is life without our dreams? Such a classic-that BMW! Great color for you too! Have a wonderful day.

It is a beauty! Love the color. So happy.
ReplyDeletegreat car! just found your blog. XO
ReplyDeleteat first i thought i read, "all it needs is a german mechanic with a great body... happy day!
ReplyDeleteThis little guy is adorable. Did you check how much he is? My lifetime affair would be a red vintage ford/chevy pick up truck. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute and classic, the colour is original. My first car was a BMW silver, not unlike that one. I hope you find it one day. Your new header is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fantastic car! My husband adores that car also but in a different color. A friend of mine used to have it in black and hubbie drove it every chance he had. It's such a nice, heavy car and it steers so well. With a little TLC it would be a real beauty!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I think I'd take the 2 weeks at a castle in Scotland ;o)

nice blog...
ReplyDeleteI drove a 1976 version of this car, it was not mine the owner of the barn I worked at. I loved it so, it was beat up, but could it haul ass.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing an old BMW similar to that when I was in my early 20s. I was in the market for a car and even thought about buying it until I asked my dad for his advice. He practically sobbed "Do. Not. Buy. That. Car." He's right--it probably would have cost me a ton to fix up and maintain, but it really was so lovely. . .
ReplyDeleteWe have a little keyboard that our neighbors gave us. I don't think it was very expensive, and it doesn't sound too bad. It's fine to run scales on and help Sophie with violin practice. Something like that might be a good starter.
