Well I'll be damned, Dain Gingerelli photographed my bike 2 years ago and she finally made the grade.

A special shout out to the "patron saint of FJ owners worldwide"

I'm going to have to go down to Barnes & Nobel and get some hard copies.

Cheers!  Pat

The Feb 15th e-mail I received from Dain said that it was the "next edition"....So I *think* it's the March/April edition.
