Just ran into Jorma

At the gas pump just now, Jorma Kaukonen (guitarist for Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna) came up to me and had a lot of compliments for the 2002.  He said his buddy in college had one and they all thought it was the "cat's ass."

 

I see Jorma around quite a bit, since he has a ranch a few miles down the road where they do shows.  I hadn't had a chance to talk with him before, though.  Usually his shows sell out right away.

He has a Fiat 500 Abarth, but he was in a new pickup truck today.

Cool!  Last saw him & Jack Casady perform in 1986.

I saw him play with Jack just a couple years ago here in Athens for Mountain Stage, and they were still good.

    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,

    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
