As I was driving back from the ExPo Trophy Event, I passed a milestone in the life of my '82 FJ40...pulled over to record the event...:victory:

It earned those last few miles too :D

What an awesome machine.

Great shot Ed! Good catch.

Too bad Ed doesn't drink hard stuff, or he could adopt the custom Roseann and I have for our vehicles. Every hundred thousand miles they get a shot of single malt scotch in the radiator. The key to long life? Could be . . .my FJ40 is getting ready for its third.

Wonder if Ed had the high-mileage entrant in the Expo Trophy?

Congrats! I saw that pic in your Trophy gallery, but it was a different mileage I think (shot before the big 2-O?)

LOL at the single malt... too funny.

I bet Ed's was the longest driven vehicle there.

Actually the photo in the gallery was of my gas gauge pushing "Empty"!!!
I was close to suckin' fumes I think... :eek:

Sorry it wasn't clear...

Congrats Ed!

It's just now getting broken in, time to start going places.

200K is always a great one to catch! That FJ40 has decades of faithful service still in her!

Very nice! I took a similar pic for my Tacoma but it was 200 000 Km ~ 125 000 miles, not a impressive but worthy of a picture. I my give it a shot of single malt scotch in the radiator for good measure!

Cheers :beer:,

Congatulations Ed! I'll be waiting for the next milestone...300k Maybe it'll be at a future expo trophy during the nav course while we're playing leap frog, "damn, I gotta get the gate!" :victory:
