[V8] RMW's BMW rant...continued (NAC)

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Roger,

I wouldn't doubt it a bit.  Drove a regular 1600 in Germany one summer
working on a farm and was hooked.  That thing (even though it wasn't
an Alpina) was more fun than my '76 2002, which I purchase two years
later.  Now those cars didn't have any blind spots at all - probably
the best visibility by far of anything made with a fixed roof :-)
