The first of a few more, I hope...
Always getting positive comments from friends, associates and the general public who
have stopped to look or have ridden in my 528e over two plus decades, I decided, after urging from fellow BMW owners, especially one who consistantly wins awards for his BMW 2002tii,
to place the car in major competition with its peers. My old 528e has done pretty well!
At the October 2, 2005 BMW CCA event...
The cars first competition
in the National Capital Chapter event and it did well, impressing quite a few people with its original condition and mechanical
changes, the latter which had no effect on the judging.
At The May 7, 2006 BMW CCA event...
Our second year in competition in the sedan class.
Unfortunately, the blue E34 M5 in the background, ten years newer and with 100,000 less miles took first place. This M5 was
sold to Ron Perry shortly after this event and was shipped to him in California. Nice car, but hardly a fair comparison to
my older E28. The sedan class needs rethinking of its judging criteria!

We hope to do well, again, in 2007. Thank you, all my friends and fellow BMW owners who have
been so supportive! I really appreciate your encouragement, advise and support. It is great fun and I am proud to see my old
528e appreciated by so many folks.
At The May 6, 2007 BMW CCA event...
Shelley and I had a great time at our 3rd year
National Capital Chapter competition and enjoyed meeting more BMW owners. With over 50 BMW's at the event there was a
lot of good competition and our 528e did okay. Up against a beautiful 1980 530i with only 17,000 miles on it, after nearly two
decades of storage, it was impossible to best this vehicle with mine. Great competition!
At The May 4, 2008 BMW CCA event...
The BMW CCA National Capital Chapter Deutsche Marque
Concours was staged at Nottoway Park, Vienna, VA. Too many things on my plate this year, so I didn't attend. I hope to participate
in 2009.
