Thats some serious mileage, looks like my 87 when I got it.
You must have had it painted, looks much fresher than half a million miles. How will you celebrate 500k miles or 1M Kilometers ??

HI Dan..funny..no i did not, it was actually parked in a little village when i was picking my moonshine-Slivovic- from the distillery shop.. i drove home and there it was.. i had to turn around on the freeway to come back to take these picks. I`ve found the guy and he said he got it from one CHP officer even with the uniform back in 2003..;-) I thought the CHP boys are payed good ;-)?For some weird reason it was nice to see the bike again....

Ivan -- any reason you went with H5 assemblies over h4? It's my understanding that the limiting factor in the h5 setup is the lens (which has pretty much the same poor cutoff/aiming as the us-spec sealed beam headlights have) and that the eurospec (e-code) h4's provide a much sharper cutoff and better focused light.
NICE looking car

hi Darrin...i like both looks - i do not really care much for the Euro H4 which everybody has on theirs 911.
If i need to test the car every 2 years i use H4 ..then half a year later i change the look for H5.Actually i do like the H5 line makes on the road.And to be honest i do not really drive at night..For daytime running light as you can see above.... Basically H4 makes a very nice euro specs light that is true, but the look of H5 i like a lot...mind you not to many on the road in Europe with those;-)I do not even like the yellow rear tail lences so i use US types, Red;-) That is the reason Darrin;-)  BTW..thanx.... Ivan
