This Sunday's ride

Recommended Posts

Impulse run this morning..

 

i'll call it  the "Chilly Ferry Tour".   this will be a great 2002 route for another day.

 

it was 31deg F when i rolled out at 0730, hence the "chilly"

Ride went up the MD side of the Potomac River, stopping at old ferry crossings along the way.  Much of ride was on 1-1.5 lane wide winding roads along the C&O Towpath through estates, farms and woods.  Spectacular views for a fall day.

first stop, Edwards Ferry Landing.

    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

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
