Anyone know what the BMW logo really represents?

I still see TAB around from time to time. I'm sure, like all the others, it's not the same formula. Sad, the older drinks are so much better. Death to high fructose corn syrup!

One gulp of a Pepsi Throwback and you realize just how bad corn syrup is. I can drink a Diet Pepsi easier than a corn syrup sweetened Pepsi. I can't stand the stuff.

Combination of Rapp aircraft engine manufacturer and the Bavaria flag. But, I don't know why.

Yes, the Bavarian flag. When the logo was first created, it was prohibited by the Trademark Act to feature ‘national coats of arms or other symbols of national sovereignty’ in a trademark. So...they used an incorrectly configured flag.

Very good. The circular part with the BMW lettering came from the Rapp logo, the blue and white is from the Bavarian flag.

Yup, and living in Texas - for the longest time (until a recent falling out), I could get "Dublin Dr Pepper" with cane sugar anytime. So much better than the current swill.

I am guessing its Gordie based on the boat names and paint theme, and the feather in the first one.

YEAH, I GOOGLED IT. I'm guilty

Yes sir. With all the Pfaff customers in here I thought it would be an easy one (without google). lol

Pick your poison. Cancer from the artificial sweetners in diet drinks or diabetes from the sugar in regular drinks.

Cheaper engine that can kick ass on the SOHC for hours on end. A world beater that is so vicious that the FIM told them to take the engine home and don't bring it back. An engine that won 3 straight Le Mans where the SOHC was SUPPPOSE to be superior but wasn't and Ford knew it.
Never said anything bad about the FE, only the stupidity of OHC heads on a engine that only added unreliability and nothing else.

I would think the crazy long chain would be more of a dependability issue than the heads.... ?
