Real Cars. Real Drivers, Real Performance

This is a story of a father and sons love for cars, BMW's and especially the classic 2002. Patrick Burns' 1972 model is a particularly interesting example and reflects the passion behind it that he and his father share. It's not perfect, but that's not the point, it's enjoyed everyday and is still going strong after 40 years on the road. Wendell and Patrick are great guys, their dedication to cars is infectious and it has been a pleasure getting to know them.

Many thanks to Wendell and patrck Burns for their time and hospitality, and to my friend Dennis Burnett who helped with second camera twelve hours after returning from a trip to Hong Kong!

This is the second episode in a series I'm working on about cool cars and the stories behind them. I'm currently working on more episodes and am looking for any interesting car stories. If you have one, I'd love to hear about it! You can contact me by email at frazer@frazerspowart.net.

Jimmy, you should post his 325i vid too. That sums up how most of us feel about cars. Great work, wish i had a fraction of the talent of these guys, lol.

That's awesome. I love the character of the car, the rough edges and that it's not perfect. I hope one day my sons and me can share the same common interest like these two. Great car, great video.

Wilton Wake up - Supercar Sunday at Wilton House

May 26, 2013 from 8am to 11am
This should be a great meet on Sunday with some excellent cars attending. It's a great drive down & a beautiful setting to see some Supercars in. Best to get there at 7.30am at the latest as it can get busy, particularly as it looks like good…See More
