Saw two (2) (!!) RHD 40 series trucks on northbound I-25 today.

First one was our esteemed webmaster. Honked and waved, he thought I was the tan FJC sitting next to him :rolleyes:

I continued on (since he wasn't going the speed limit :p:) and saw a green tailgate with TOYOTA in big letters across it. No way! Two 40 series this close together (but outside of sight from one another)!? As I got closer, I realized it was RHD, so I pulled up next to him and gave him a honk and a wave. I hope he didn't think I was trying to run him off the road. Anyway, got to thinking about it and this truck was on the 40s Only Run last year (4th one down):

Got off at Downing to go to Washington Park, and as we were getting out I saw the whitish late model 40 series front end coming my way that I had seen earlier. Waved again at Kraig and he pulled over and we chatted for a bit. Good to chat with you Kraig! :thumb:

Anyway, it was a good window of opportunity to see 40 series out and about this afternoon!

Good - found out it's 2.5 miles around the park if you take the running trail. It was a good day just to hang out and yeah, watch the people. It was good to relax. How's the tranny swap going?

Caught Kraig on C-470 near University on my way back from the BOWAGWR run last night; even though I was waving a swerving I don't think he saw me. Since he's sitting on the wrong side of the truck, I imagine it's hard to see someone all the way across the highway.

Last weekend we saw Michelle Nakari near Evergreen driving the Nakari family FZJ80, headed west on I-70. We waved to her, and she took pity on us in our Honda minivan and waved back.

The next day we saw Scott Yoder near the top of the Guanella Pass, getting ready to hike the trail to Silver Dollar Lake (which we were hiking too).

It's a small world. :)

saw a blue FJ40 that looked a lot like Rezarf's going down I-25 yesterday, getting caught in the traffic we were caught in. Any other big smurf FJ40s running around that people know about (if it wasn't Drew)?

I saw a built up Green 80 at the intersection of 287 and Lookout Road in Boulder. I was in my wife's blue un-built 80
