The Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison has offered to host us again on October 2, 2011.

We were able to park among the airplanes when we met in March of 2010, so it made for some great photo opps. I even got one pic of my 1600 with Mike's M1 in front of a Soviet MiG in Roundel!

We'd probably gather shortly after their opening (9 am) and stick around to or through lunch. Last year, we ordered Jimmy John's... not exactly gourmet, but it worked well. If there was enough interest, I could have food catered ahead of time. Obviously, anyone can come and go as they please.

Cavanaugh charged us their admission price, but that gave us full access to the grounds and a tour with a docent last year. It's a great museum (definitely one of the best collections in the country) and totally worth the $10.

Please post here if you would be interested in attending. In the interest of keeping it a vintage event, the vehicle age cut off is 1991.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
