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
1984 FJ1100 Ms Effie brand new :)
1984 FJ1100 Pearlie, stock as.
1985 FJ1100 Mr Effie 647,000K and still running hard.
1985 FJ1200 'Yummy' takes a licking & keeps on ticking
2013 Trumpy Tiger 800, let's do another lap of Oz

After all is said and done, more is said than done :)

 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

The book will be published in Croatian in March. Unfortunately the webshop only accepts delivery to Slovenia and Croatia.
I have contacted them to see if this can be changed.
They will publish it in English if they get enough interest.
