ooh, I've been collecting ASCII BMWs for a long time now.  They really
seem to have fallen out of favor lately though.  Anyway, here is the
collection of my favorite BMWs, exactly as I spotted them on this
digest.  Names have been obscured to protect the innocent.  Watch that
tab damage, guys! 

R1s, hard cornering, and loose lugbolts don't mix!

When you get a car this old that far off the roadway, it's not
surprising that the a wheel or two might fly off.
