[Spridgets] far-fetched plan germinating in warpped mind.....need Seattle info

[Bud Osbourne]

Thanks, Rich.  Turns out it's in western Washington.  I'm waiting for more 
information on it, now.  It's not a 2002, however.  It's a 2000 (4 door 
sedan).  My plan was to fly out to LA, the first weekend of March, for the 
Porsche 356 literature & parts swap meet, score a clean 2002 and drive it 
back to PA.  I'll probably stick to that plan, but the old 4 door, 4 
cylinder BMWs are really good cars, if a bit funky-looking.  Also, although 
mechanical bits are readily available for them, sheet metal is pretty much 
"unobtanium" over here.
