yesterday @ 3:45 pm at the Hart Shopping Centre , i spotted a toyota land cruiser FJ75 left hand drive beige in colour with french plates [ France ] . it had ' France ' stickers on both doors and some expedition stickers near the top of the camper . it was well kitted out ... winch , mild lift etc . i hung around for a while hoping to meet the driver/passenger to practice my rusty french ... no luck . anyone see this FJ75 ?
perhaps they are headed north ? maybe some you folks on this forum may spot them ..... gb

Hey Gerry. Not sure if it was the same guy, but on friday in Fort Nelson I talked to an older german fella. Truck sounds the same, all I could say about the plates was European. Had Dacar stickers and a round emblem on the doors. The truck was white, camper beige.
He was part of a larger expedition that covered the two american continents. They had made it all the way north and he was now on his way to Halifax to ship the truck back oversees. 2 years total time on the road.

Was a nice cruiser.

hey Brad , thanks for that info . yesterday @ 11:30 am at the corner of highway 97 & austin , i saw the ' France ' FJ75 land cruiser [ same one i saw at the Hart shopping centre ] driving south minus the camper . couldn't turn around at the time on the highway and follow him . i did notice that the dude driving wore spectacles and had gray hair . i will scout some of the streets north of us . always interested in talking to out of country folks on expeditions / tours travelling in our neck of the woods . gerry
