Hey - Its been a while since I posted on the 02 board. But still driving my BMWs.

 

Bob N, Elefant Ray and I are driving out from California to Eureka Springs Mid America Fest

 

I will be in Vegas on the 20/21st- Going to see Chris at Only 02 and order a carpet set..

 

We will be mostly driving Hwy40. We will be in the Albuquerque area Wednesday April 22nd.

Any kind enthusiasts want to put us up or at least have dinner with us?

 

Any one else want to join the caravan convoy ???

 

Who else will we see in  Eureka springs ?  

 

I have never been to this event and am looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones

 

I have driven across the US 3 times. This will be my first time with a 5 speed !

The picture of the white Tii is when I moved to Tennessee in 1991.

The Silver 02 is my 73 that will be at Mid America fest. I will not be bringing mushrooms. Those days are long gone !

 

Joseph

Looking forward to seeing y'all there.  I'm working on a caravan from SW Ohio--departing Dayton on Wednesday, arrive in Eureka Springs on Thursday afternoon after a nice leisurely drive through western KY & TN, then across the Mississippi to AR.

 

Anyone interested in joining the caravan, drop me an e-mail

Damn, you Left Coasters are going to break my record! But I triple dog dare you to recreate the world's only known photo of the Iron Butt Award and a reversed-then-corrected-scripted Turbo in the rear view mirror! (That's Brian Spanel's car; he met Ben Thonsai and Luis Alvarez and I when we came through St. Louis.)

    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
