This was published in our local CCA Fall 2011 rag.

If somebody knows how and is willing to post the individual pages here for viewing, I'd appreciate it along with the "how to" info.

Enjoy...

How to... I thought I had a program in which I could open a .pdf and save it to a .jpg, but that was on the old computer. So I did a snapshot in Adobe Reader, it's a right click option, pasted it into Irfanview and saved it as a .jpg. Then onto Peter's uploader where I put them up on the 'net. I saved them in ok resolution, not max to save space.

Great read. I'd quote for truth but that how-to sounded like a lot of work.

Reminds me of the first 5erFest here in Ft. Worth. There were maybe thirty-six E12s and E2Bs. I so lusted after Duke's euro beauty. Even more importantly, that was my first taste of the "BMW Community" and I was hooked. Many of those guys are still here. If memory serves, Brad didn't even make it but I enjoyed his cooking.

How can you beat fine machines, great food, and wonderful people to share the experience?

I still plan on making a TexFest at some point.

Great writeup!

Time is moving fast. Vintage 2012 is only 6 months away. Someday I need to get to one.....

Just as a heads up, planning for RTT 2012 is in the works and will be announced soon. We are going to try a different destination this year (somewhere other then Fontana Village at the Tail of the Dragon).

Details will be posted when they are available.

Yep, as Pete said, next year's tour will not disappoint those who participate. RTT12 will feature all new over night destinations with some really interesting and entertaining attractions.

Stay tuned!

Nicely done, Sherman.

Do you have one on the 2011 Lonestar Burgers and Fives?

Nope, just a thread, but LJ (Nebraska_e28) did quite a nice job summarizing his perspective on page 6.
