What an adventure ! 4000 miles in the 1600 which I affectionately dubbed

"Ol Putt Putt"

I want to thank all that helped make this voyage a drive of a life time.

Really not a painful trip, the 1600 is a great little car and was easy to drive.

Here are some assorted Pictures from the road.

Hope to make it out there again soon !

Double click on the pictures and they will enlarge

looking at the photo entitled: putt-putt's new home

suggests that this car will be very happy. if you squint your eyes you could almost imagine a village in Bavaria.

much better living arrangements for an 02 than having to be parked at the curb in a city environment....

i enjoyed inspecting that car while it was in brisbane.

I took a picture of all the lic plates from all the states represented at V&V, and I went back to the parking lot, after I found out about your adventure, but I couldn't find one from CA! This is one of my favorite one, of you holding it, for the record.

Joseph: you're welcome! Invade the Denker-McCarty home again sometime! (that goes for Mike ('02monster), Kris, & Steve too) I will be tempted to drive mine to the west coast one day. (engine work will be necess. before I attempt that!!) See you next time a car needs to be ferried over to this 1/2 of the USA.

Joseph,

    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
