Talk about being in the right place at the right time!

Hey guys got the first roll of film back from my trip today. This roll was from Ireland so thought I'd share a few.

The first one has a great story. I'm washing the Runner in this little town in BFE on the coast of Ireland and out of no where these two hotties walk up and go "Can we take some pictures of your truck?" I was like uhh ya go for it!! So while I'm washing they are snapping like mad. I start to chat with them and find out real quick they are from the US and are over in Ireland for a Summer college class in photography.. Whoa.. small world. Anyways I got done washing and told them since they took so many pics of my truck I wanted one of them. If you look in the bottom left corner you can see my Runner so if you thought I was pulling your chain I have proof




I knew the Runner had some chick pulling powers somewhere in her I tried to get them to have a coffee with me but they were busy snapping pics for their class.

Here's a couple more

Uhhh ya a picture..

Pfdxe I paid 45euro to fill my runner which is just over $50. Not nearly as bad as the UK.. for those that are stateside you'd best not bitch about gas prices around me..haha

INsr5runner ... your tax dollars will bring my Runner home. Were authorized to take one over and bring one back for free. Mine will come into Seattle.

if our taxes pay for his shipping, I think our taxes should pay for new lockers too.

Nice pics man! You know, out of pretty much all "reasonable" cars, the 4Runner has to be up there on the sex apeal. It might be me, but I have a few "girlfriends" that love guys that drive 4runners. hehehe... my gf for one. I mean, maybe its just me but I have had multiple girls get in my car and then say I LOOOOVE 4Runners and how they want/wanted one. All I know is I have never heard a girl say, oh wow, you drive a blazer?? I want one. Though I will say this, I just finished my first year of college and when I got home my friend asked me if I got more girls from having a sweet car or being tall, and I have to say that being tall was a definate winner. Its the ultimate ice breaker, they always have something to talk/aproach me about. Its rare that you would keep a girl interested by telling her you drive a 4Runner, but if anyone does, then by god keep her because you will be one lucky motha!
