Hi!

I'm Art and I am a geologist, BMW Aficionado, and adventurer. It's been said that I am "out there a little ways" but I know how to behave when I have to. Most of all, I cradle the coupe in my heart and care about the history, preservation, and dissemination of information concerning our favorite BMW model. You'll get to know me better. Suffice it to say, despite what you might think I drive my car(s). That's right - cars.

I live out here in the wilderness of NW Pennsylvania - the land of pickup trucks with gun racks, clapped out K- cars and old incompetent people driving gray Buicks (as opposed to simply regular old people - like us). Proudly displayed in my driveway is a part of my vehicular fleet consisting, in part, of two 4WD sedans of Asian origin (complete with Asian designed rust and rot) and the aforementioned pickup which lets me get into the local American Legion bar. Hidden in the trees, however, are the machines which qualify me to be a part of that elite group of seriously sick units that own old, and not so old, BMW's. Namely a '72 CSi, a '75 CSi, and a '95 M3.

But I digress...

In the real World I am paid to dispense knowledge to the multitudes thirsting to drink at the fountain of wisdom. This function I fulfill as a professor of geology (yeah, rocks and dead things) at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania where I have been for lo the past 66 semesters. Sharing the small corner of paradise which I defend here is a shy and retiring small slip of a woman who, most reluctantly, has acquired a bit of taste for some of the same insanity alluded to above.

So what does all this mean to you? I have volunteered to accept the responsibility of keeping the BMW CS Registry, and will do my best to edit myeslf and accept your critique. If you don't like what you see, please tell me. I invite you to stop by the house. The garage is newer than the house, and three housekeepers have quit because they couldn't stand working around papers in progress, rocks, and car parts. You have been warned!
