Pop in visit to meet a fellow forum member

[Thomas76]

I travel alone a fair amount for work which often leaves me a bit bored in the evenings. I am getting in the habit of posting on the forum to see who might be willing to meet up while in a specific area.
This trip to sunny South Florida I got to meet Drew and "Turkis". Thanks for your hospitality and filling an otherwise empty evening!
Beautiful car, our tastes align in unique vehicles.
If ever there is a time to say the details of this coupe are not given justice in a photo it's here, the combination of color and brightwork make this one amazing in person.

Tom has a real story to tell the forum about how he built his 2800CS from 2 Coupes. He had the opportunity to sit for the first time in the passenger seat of my non-running 1972 2002 . I think an "E10" project is in his future.

I couldn't believe how much room a 2002 has inside for tall guys!

Yeah - When I bought my 2002 (actually, when I test drove one back in 1983) - I had my dad with me. He was a pretty big guy (6'4"). He was very surprised for how he fit in the 02. That was actually one of the positive points for my family on the car - it was 'usable'.
A short time later when I moved down to SLO from Monterey (for school) - That car swallowed a TON of stuff.

I’m 6’5” and my 74 had a sunroof and I had plenty of room. By then a 2002 with a sunroof had lower seats in them.
