    Last week I attended a meeting at the BMW CCA Foundation in Greer, South Carolina. You know the place. It’s right next door to the BMW Performance Center East, down the street from the BMW Zentrum, and just across the road from BMW Plant Spartanburg.

    Last week, Old Blue, the ’73 2002tii, was sold. The new owner, Richard, just picked it up, and he is driving it home to Baltimore.
