    Default Elekta is in NorCali...WuHOO

    Well, my elekta M5T is gonna miss the BimmerFest unfortunately, but at least it is here

    Here are some pics I got today from BTE, where the conversion guys just picked it up from Port Hueneme and brought it to Richmond, CA.

    There are two cars in front of me and it won't be until a week or two after the fest that I will pick it up for my first tour back to austin in it. Not surfing this thread too often so PM me if you need something....like maybe to buy my euro spec 530iT, very well sorted with all the fixin's OEM

    geoff

    Absolutely, only faster on the US 281, and at a crawl on the 12 mile caliche ranch road. With only 76k on the od, there's plenty of good miles left on her. I am not one to hold back on mileage. The best part of tourings are road trips. Last trip in the 530iT was to enchanted rock and that is an outstanding high speed haul on a tasty texas twisty wildflower highway FM16. This year I drove two sections going thru Fredricksburg on the way and home thru Llano. It was a blast. I almost lost another tow hitch cover at about 105mph, when by a stroke of luck I looked in the rear view only to see it spinning in the air. Those spring clips truly suck and it's on there with zip ties now. I glue gunned some plastic eyelets to run a zip tie thru.

    Texas has some of the best touring roads in the world...imho, though I am certainly going to love the trip home from San Francisco thru Vegas to Sante Fe to Austin in about a month.

    power heated seats, extended blue nappa leather and velour carpeting, the 3 wheel climate control, all 1995 upgrades inclu passenger air bag. I had the westafalia tow system installed in the UK under the bumper cover before it was shipped over, No CD in rear...some other stuff.
