      they are great cars and look sweet but you imo are over exagurating, one of the most in the world is a bald statement but to each their own I guess.I think that jag still holds that tittle, even the remake of it I would buy.

    What I like about it is that is a really lovely restomod. The 2002 has beautiful proportions. Tony’s looks like it handles brilliantly and gets its power onto the road without aimless wheel spinning. It doesn’t have the dreaded US spec bumpers of the later version that stick out absurdly front and back - thank goodness and, the original chrome details have been kept. In a way it’s actually an E30 dressed as a 2002 but that gives it charisma, tied to reliability and crazy-cool performance. A brilliant car.

    Had a 1973 yellow 2002 with black interior; "The Bumblebee". Rebuilt the motor, adding an additional 100 hp; 200 hp total. Sport Bilstein shocks, Eibach springs, 2 2 barrel Weber carbs, Kleber tires, Stahl header, Ansa tips, Blaupunkt stereo & a black Momo steering wheel. Still to this day, it's one of the best handling cars I've ever driven; perfectly balanced. Taking an off ramp at 60-70 mph was never a problem! Slid PERFECTLY. Maintenance? Sometimes like a MG in the rain; it nickeled & dimed me to death! Loved the car, hated the bills. It wouldn't leave me alone! SOLD.

    • @robertmanfredthurrigl9424
      @robertmanfredthurrigl9424 2 роки тому +1

      Good observations BUT although he abstained from the vulgar fender flares and recaro seats he spoiled it just a little with those red rimmed low rider chrome tires . He just could not escape his Yankee DNA! Everything was in good taste tile the red flared tires were put on. Well, at least he did not run a thick line over the roof and the bonnets.

    I have a 1976 2002 with an automatic trans and standard power plant, real slow, but that is how I move, you can spend a lot and this guy did, simply beautiful. These care are like a love/hate relationship, but the pride in ownership is a great reward, I have had Ferrari owners drive past me, of course, and give the thumbs up! It cracks me up.

  • @SurferHermann

    I remember me too. I come from a BMW family and father and mother works in Munich Milbertshofen. When i was a youngster, i had a BMW 2002 Coupe with 100 PS, 2002 ti 120 PS and a 2002 tii with Kugelfischer injection with 130 PS. It was a lot of fun to drive in the dolomites and the hills in bavaria. Now is a BMW X3 35D with 313 PS my own and i life for BMW. My father had the number 43 at the new beginning 1946 in Munich. Sorry my English is not so good, i am Bavarian in Germany and thats different.

      SurferHermann... You have nothing to feel bad about. Meine deutche died a long time ago! I went to the American High School in Ludwigsburg from 1961 to 1965, about 10 kilometers from Stuttgart. There have been quite in list of BMWs in the family since 1969 but my current car is a 330xi, 5-speed manual. My last E39 5-series got crunched by a brain-dead college kid about 7 years ago and this was the replacement. I wouldn't tell him about it, but I like this car far better than the one he ran into! The 5-speed manual, all-wheel drive and the 3 liter six make for a very responsive little car. It has 189,000 miles on it now and I'll probably keep driving it for another 189K!! I much prefer the simpler car compared to all the electronics they pile into the cars now. As they get older, the problems will be overwhelming. Guten Tag und Merry Christmas!! ;^)

    I love the host more excited than the owner....!
    How much things cost , has always been a very "bad question"
    and that hasnt changed since "the car guy" was invented.
    Its a labor of love...the money comes out of your pocket over time.. Your not paying labor , your figuring it out as you go along.
    Each car has its on challenges even the same model car.
    How much does or would it cost.
    I feel bad for people that dont have the time to build a car or a motorcycle.
    They miss out on a major part of building. It is enjoyable and relaxing as fishing. Its rewarding and instant gratification.
    You tube has completely helped the "car guy" youtube has inspired more builds and helped create new car guys everyday.
    It does feel like an uncrackable code , when ever you ask How Much.
    A home builder meanders thru a build.....he has receipts in a box , bag or in a draw.....or multiples of each.
    If you have a "A shop " build it
    Sometimes its their first build ( they dont know)
    If they are a specialiat of this car they have past builds to give you an Idea.
    So the cost is "Always elusive"
    If you go to a car show....the owner is going to say " more than I want to tell you"
    Or if his wife is around " you will never get him to say!"
    If you learn your self by researching forums and youtube videos. You just rack up sweat equity and gain an education.
    If you pay some one that has built lots of cars . You ,will at least,
    Will get a finished car.
    Can not ,have someone, build you your dream car ,that doesnt have at least three fully built cars behind him.
    Cause it takes "lots of time"
    There have been "lots" of unfinished cars.
    I have seen alot of first attempts ,
    By owners that knew nothing about cars, build and learn on one car.
    Then they build another and another.....they learned how to learn.
    How much does it cost...????
    To a car guy in his garage building his car. Money only enters the picture when he has to adjust his lifestyle to afford his next brainstorm.....to CREATE.....
    Body work and paint is more expensive than most people think.
    Thats why the Rat Rod look became popular. The time and money saved is a big chunk of any build.A bigger chunk then the non automotive person can understand.
    Known parts are easier to add up. Its the miscellaneous stuff that adds up in addition to the known parts. Things like wire, nuts bolts , screws, rivets,clamps, lubricants, hoses, brake lines, fuel lines , more clamps, clips, adhesives, and tools you will buy lots of tools.
    Interiior, another whole subject on its own.
    Engine transmission drive shaft , rear end, suspension ???
    Not many , if any car enthusiasts ,builds a car , by cost analysis!
    The car would never get" started".
    An enthusiasts car gets built from an Idea.....some how the money comes , the parts come ,
    It comes together...some how from sheer desire and will.
    If you want it ,so bad you can see it finished, you can , just see it, finished so clearly it gets you completely excited.
    That is when you start ....hold that vision and live it ,till the car is sitting in front of you , just the way you imagined it.
    And when some one asks you " how much does it cost?" Your eyes glaze over, a smile ....comes to your face...and you say..." I realy dont know"

    • @AutotopiaLA
      @AutotopiaLA  5 років тому +1

      Great comment!! I always ask for the viewers that don’t have a clue of what it takes to build. Even a simple build let alone some of the radical stuff we show here. And I’m just an enthusiast. I don’t enjoy wrenching at all. Never got the relaxing part of it. My brain just doesn’t go in that direction so I’m always curious of money but also time, energy and creativity involved.

    • @MindDezign
      @MindDezign 5 років тому

      @@AutotopiaLA the "problem with the car culture" is THERE IS NO PLACE TO FIND THE ANSWER.
      And the old " if you have to ask you cant afford it" Doesnt ring true,
      because cars ,drive out of back home garages, everyday that Kick Ass in originality and performance.
      So , because the car magazines dont tell you! The TV car channels never tell you. Where is one to know. Where is one to find out?
      No place.... There is no place.
      Just paying somebody to make your dream car a reality is VERY expensive.
      The only way a guy that has no interest at all in building his own car......is to buy something ready built ...that comes close.

    I like it!!! It kind of reminds me of an old 1966 Plymouth Valiant, that my father used to have. It has a slight resemblance to it from the front.

    I moved from Indiana to California in 1976. In Indiana where I grew up the only thing I ever saw that was BMW and I was young at the time was a motorcycle, didn't know they made cars. I was in Van Nuys one afternoon and I saw this body styled type vehicle coming up from behind pretty fast and I though that is show off, looked like a miniature Edsel in my rear view mirror. I was in my 1966 Nova 283 four barrel three speed and I opened it up, the little mother stayed behind the Nova the whole time. Mind you this is on the city streets of Van Nuys California, 1976 and I was doing just a little over 90mph and looking back I was glad nobody pulled out in front of me at an intersection. The Nova was light and fun.

      A lot less cars on the streets back then. The 2002 is cool and this one is just better. Fun car. Styling is timeless. Great story!

    The first thing that excited me was waiting to know how the suspension setup was different, power is one thing, handling is the real hero behind the scenes.
