Thirty Years of "Fun and Drama" !!
Four years ago, (shy one month), The OWL, Blog number 3, was entitled: Heaven in my BMW 635csi. The night before I purchased my "Bimmer", I saw Charlie Rose drive the identical car on his nightly Talk Show (black, on black; "in" Schwarz)!! The car rolled off the assembly line, thirty years ago. It is now a "Classic", I'm told, by those who stop me on the street to admire the car.
My Dad used to say "Life begins at 40"! Now that I've lived 30 years with my Bimmer, acquired when I was 46, I can attest to the truth of that assertion. Those who have consistently read this Blog (this one is number 1176), know, that my Childhood ended 70 years ago, in September of 1945, in a Hell-Hole the entire world was recently introduced to: Missouri! My Life's Journey began in earnest, when I permanently "shook that dust from my feet", and, I left on a long and mostly lonesome drive West; landing in the San Francisco Bay Ares, in the City of Berkeley. The twists and turns of that Path, are only now, beginning to slow down!
The Journey became especially interesting and dramatic, once Vasek Polak handed me the keys to my Bimmer, in his Establishment in Hermosa Beach, CA. The roads stretching ahead, led from the beautiful horse trails of Palos Verdes, CA,; to Capitol Hill in Seattle; to Brickell Key, in Miami; and to many points in between. It even includes the border towns of Tijuana and Juarez, in Old Mexico.
I'm slowing down, now, and the Bimmer will have to go to someone else who will enjoy its stories, and its "Joy" of the Road! In this week's Barron's (magazine insert, page 18) read: When Extra Power Pays Off.
This article updates us on BMW's "racy M versions".
