Graphic artist Kile Brekke designed our T-shirts and printed materials again this year and they look excellent! Please preregister early so we can determine more easily the shirt sizes to order. We will have a named bag for each preregistrant so our closing date is slightly earlier than some years to help us organize the bags. Note— Swap & Show visitors are welcome! If you do not show your car or swap parts, there is no fee for entry. But we encourage anyone with a BMW of our vintage to bring your car to display, no matter how beautiful your restoration or how mundane the dirt and rust on your daily driver (some photographers can make the rust and dirt very photogenic— check out photos from previous years!). Swap & Show does not judge your car so there will be no points for extra dirt, missing dirt, matching luggage or concours shine. We smile at all BMW's, and photographs or videos are welcome!

Anyone going to Lime Rock Historics this weekend? I'm flying in Thursday, Leaving '02 home this time. Long Drive from North Carolina

I remember sending this badge to its owner in the UK. Great to see a picture with it at the show. Wonderful touring he has + soft lighting make this worthy of a share. -Mo

Hello, There is a large Father's Day car show in Summit NJ, that I am part of. This year the town is blocking off all the streets, and the cars are parking directly on Main st. We usually get an amazing variety of cars, everything from a Ferrari 250SWB to A BMW Isetta. Free to enter, and a great time had by all. With any luck, I'll be able to bring the out the Tii for the first time in a long time.

Like a lot of online retailers, Griot's has gone virtual. On last weekend's event with guest host Chris Jacobs, 02s took best story and best in show. 02 coverage starts at 1hr 30min mark.

Event Title: Postponed - Swap & Show 2020 Event Location: 500 Sierra Point Parkway, Brisbane, California, 94005 Event Author: layers Event Date: 05/02/2020 10:00 AM to 05/02/2020 03:00 PM POSTPONED until 12 September! BayArea 02 Swap & Show, 2 May 2020, Marina at Brisbane, California. As before, the address is 500 Sierra Point Parkway, along the Bay on the North side of Sierra Point. Preregister on Motorsportreg (see link below). Preregistration is $25 while the on-site fee on 2 May will be $30. Kile Brekke continues to show his artistic flare with the graphics and has again added his art for our T-shirts and printed materials; we expect the shirts, posters and cards to be popular once again! Please preregister early to help us plan. Preregistration will open on 1 March at [Preregistration for Swap & Show-2020 on MotorsportREG]. We expect it to end on 26 April 2020, so do NOT plan on a last-minute signup (we need a few days to get stuff ready...). Note— Swap & Show visitors are welcome! There is no fee for entry if you do not show your car or swap parts. However, we strongly encourage anyone with a BMW of our vintage to bring your car to display, no matter how mundane your daily driver (dirt, rust and all, which may be surprisingly photogenic) or how Instagram-friendly your restoration. There is no judging your car so there will be no points for extra dirt, missing dirt, artistic (!?) rust or matching luggage. We smile at all BMW's and photographs or videos are welcome (but NO drones over cars)! ********************************************************************************************* Like so many other events, Swap & Show-2020 is postponed until 12 September, over 4 months later. While some things might be able to happen in May, a car show does not seem likely about 4 weeks from now. And looking at the calendar and other possible events, 12 September does not (yet?) seem to have any conflict. Just to lift our spirits, the Brisbane Marina Turfmeister tells me he keeps the grass green throughout the Fall so our cars should still look good. Please mark your calendars for 12 September at the Brisbane Marina-- we'll keep registration open on MotorsportREG. Larry Postponed - Swap & Show 2020
