Some of you will already know from FB.

I don't think he was a FJowners.com member but I know some here knew him personally and others via FB.

I think his record of over 1.4 million k's on a pretty much stock (rebuilt a few times) 11 will be a hard act to follow.

RIP Darko

 Yes, the sad news was on FB a short while ago.

I never met Darko, but followed his posts for a long time. His mileage were epic. A sad loud to the whole FJ community.

Yeah...
I didn't post here since I had no idea you knew about him. Legend lives!
He died suddenly of pulmonary embolism, rode his FJ that day. It has close to 1.6 million km I think, but definitely more than 1.5.

RIP
