Problem with the BMW 1-Series in the US is that we start with the 3 liter I-6 from the 328, and the car is relatively heavy for such a small car since it is basically the 3 series platform with some inches cut away. Nice little car though...

THink the only car that really interrest me from what I saw from the LA show is the new Corvette ZR-1. Just something about a 6 liter V-8 with a supercharger giving in excess of 650 hp 😉 Yes I am not terribly worried about my mileage in my cars since I rarely drive more than 7,000 miles in a year.

Although one of the more interresting energy developments I have hear lately was on NPR last week. Someone has developed a way to create hydrogen for fuel cell use using microbes and a small electric charge. This has tremendous potential in fuel cell technology.

And why would you sell your 914???? I'd get rid of the 911 before the 914, but, then that is me and my rather unique sense of what I want in a car....
