    Default Gustav Tour of America meet - Charlotte, NC - July 30th




    Hey folks,

    Thought I'd let some of you M5 (and non-M) drivers know of an event that's going on the evening of Monday, July 30th.

    To give you guys a little background on the deal, Gustav, the owner of the www.M5Board.com, is going to do a little tour of the United States and there are several members that are helping to get Gustav from point to point, via various über fünfs...and aircraft.

    Anyway, we'll be transporting him from the BMW Manufacturing Plant in Greer, SC to Charlotte, NC where we'll hold a little shindig/meet at Victory Lane Karting ( www.victorylanekarting.com ) followed by a dinner at VLK for a proper send-off to Gustav's next location (Miami).

    Here's a tentative schedule of Monday's happenings...

    ------------------------------
    2:00PM - Gustav leaves the BMW Plant
    3:30PM - Gustav arrives in Charlotte/Victory Lane Karting
    3:45 - 6:45 - Karting/mingling/Dinner @ VLK
    7:00 > - Gustav departs to Miami, FL
    ------------------------------

    ...and the M5Board thread...

    I expect to see some real M5s in attendance!

    As mentioned, it's not like he's some celebrity...Just a fellow from Sweden that brought a bunch of M5 owners together with www.bmwm5.com / www.m5board.com

    T'was a good time fellows, hate we had a shortage of E34s, but the weather wasn't exactly in our favor. Anyway, here's some pictures from Monday's festivities...
