Our website is now ready for registration, and preorder of t-shirts, polos, caps, etc.

Registration is free, as is the Saturday evening picnic, but by signing-up we can better plan.  

The gear is paid for at the event, preording helps us make sure everyone gets what they would like.  

You can register, let us know how many plan to eat Saturday dinner, and check out the MidAm  shirts, etc by going to   http://midamerica02fest.com/fest-2015-get-ready/

Gear orders must be in by midnight March 29.

 

Big thanks to the True Friends - those donating and gathering door prizes, the many vendors who are donating door prizes, the tech presenters, experts - Q & A panel, caravan leaders, poster sponsor, and the folks who have been involved in helping plan and execute the weekend.  More on all these later.

Big shout-out to KeithK for art and website work.

 

Looks like we have a bunch of 02 headed to Eureka Springs.  Most drive a significant distance (some huge distances).  This is a hardcore group of 02 lovers - we will have a great time.

Take good care of my RGB friends: Jason Gipson and Jake Metz.  They'll both be first-time attendees.  I have no '02 and I will be in Europe when this event is taking place. Mary & I will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary with a Viking River cruise through Belgium and the Netherlands.....  Have fun, all of you '02 fanatics!

Looks like a blast! I would love to meet up at a 2002 meet one day in my car and talk 02's for a while with some fellow enthusiasts. Maybe this summer...

    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
