Sorry - no pics of Kay. I believe she is in her 40's, Oriental, married and very nice. Her husband Will drives a charcoal Audi A3 and rides a Ducati for fun. Kay really knows her cars too! |

Note I said cars (plural). To me, driving the BMW is much more fun than the VW. Better fuel mileage, more power, better seats, nice stereo, 5 speed, sunroof, better handling, etc. I've made up my mind and the VW must be sold. This BMW event in Eureka Springs, Arkansas is held twice a year at the same hotel that the VW crowd has their event.  Here is my car  We had a great caravan from the East Coast to Arkansas   |

I can't argue with you there, Jim - vintage BMWs are sweet rides.
I remember a neighbour (in the late 1980s) used to have a beautiful vintage silver 2002. Every time that I passed his house in my Beetle convertible I slowed down to admire it.

My bug has your BM beat with both the fuel mileage AND the power! Plus it looks way better. |

Interesting comments! My BMW has factory Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection (130 HP, 1990 cc and has returned a best mileage of 34 mpg on the highway) which didn't require any emissions controls during it's 3-year run in the USA (72-74).   |

130hp and an extra 400 lbs? Sounds like a boring antique! My car feels like the engine wants to crawl up your azz with almost double your hp and would make your girlfriend forget about her Golf after a ride in it. Having the extra power in my bug has made me love it all over again!
