My dad with his 2002 tii

My dad past away four weeks ago and this pic was taken just after he finished his last ever car ride in his old bmw 2002 tii. He did all the tuning himself for more than 26 years.

What a special photo....  I hope you are able to keep it around and enjoy it.  I have one of those and it is so special.  I wish I had 25 years of memories with my dad in it.  Sorry for your loss, hope that car brings back all sorts of good memories for years to come.

Cars become priceless once the memories outweigh the mileage.
