Recommended Posts

If anyone here can find their keys after the Cars & Courvoisier event at Marshall's on Saturday, please consider coming out for this!  I've never been, but we were invited by the PCA to give the place some class.

 

Every year Hagerstown, MD, has a German “Oktoberfest” celebration on 24 and 25 Aug called “Augustoberfest.” PCA Potomac has invited us to the car show on Sun., Aug 25th to help them celebrate. Ron Davis, their concours chairman, plans to hold a simple “people’s choice” show with 3 trophies - 1st, 2nd & 3rd places. Cars would come in at 9 AM. 
 
Registration will be at the gate and cost is $10.00 per car including one ticket to the “Fest”. Additional tickets are $5.00 each and kids under 12 are free.

    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

    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
