I do believe, based on my last conversation with the owners, she is the daily driver of the truck. Her husband prefers his 70's Ford truck. But I have seen both driving it.

Today looked like a guy in his late 30's maybe early 40's behind the wheel. I'd have stopped and tried chatting again but I was headed in the opposite direction and had the family with me.

While leaving the salvage yard today I got chatted up by the guy who cashed out in front of me. Mark, from Parker, is also a Bronco owner (so is his brother) and was down today picking parts for a Falcon drag car he is putting together.

Small world.

The old lady that owns the Stroppe is a real piece of work. She used to work over at a flower nursery on Cheyenne Road, don't know if she still does. I stopped in on time to talk to her about it and the first thing out of her mouth was I am not selling it and yours looks like crap with those big tires. Real nice lady...

Saw a white on white sport in Woodland Park yesterday. It was parked beside a garage with stuff piled in front of it. Right behind the City Market center down by the ball fields.

Speaking of Ball fields, there is a black one with no top down in Pueblo near Runion fields at a place called Ace Enterprises. Don't know the story, the gates were locked when we drove by.

I saw a light green one downtown last week. Light green, no top, no doors, steel wheels. I tagged it with a card. Anyone here? I didn't have my phone with me to take a pic of it.

I saw this one at Union and Briargate, in the Gold's Gym parking lot. Really sharp! Nice teal paint, family cage, 31" tires. Looks like a daily driver -- yes? Hoping mine looks as nice some day.

Not a sighting, although I saw a ton of pictures of his Broncos, but a guy came and knocked on my door after seeing my Bronco in the driveway. Jim has two Broncos, one for 17 years I think. He was out riding his motorcycle, so we visited for quite a while and I gave him a card. Pretty talented guy and will probably join up. Has a lot of skill and knowledge to offer the club, and looking for some other experts to talk about his rigs.

Saw an orange bronco with no doors (or maybe fiberglass inserts) on the ramp of the parking garage at the Englewood light rail station last night around 5:30pm. Didn't have my cards on me, but I drop/pick up the wife every day so I'll be prepared going forward unless it's someone already here.

Well, how is that new Cam working out?????


It works great! Slapped the Comp Cams XE258 cam in it memorial day weekend and what a difference it made in the 302. Significant increase in power all across the band. I am plannin to be at BWB this Saturday, you going to be there? My new tach with shift light is also a ton of fun! :burnout:

The Danger Ranger is getting new shoes tomorrow as well. Decided on the MTR Kevlars. I'll bring her out Saturday, its been too long since the last time she got to mingle with her brothas from otha mothas, hah!

Spotted a yellow/orange bronco on 38.5 swampers at work today. Had a family cage, no doors or top. That makes 2 now besides kinder's Bronco. Didn't get to tag it before it was gone from the parking lot. Next time! Maybe kinder knows who they are? Didn't spot a CCB sticker.

gave a card to a guy yesterday at the King Soopers just north of I 25 on Colorado.
He just pulled in, and I was headed home from a side job so didn't chat long or get a pic.
It was an aqua color with a brown tailgate, stock looking uncut with no top.
I think he said his name was Aaron, seemed interested we'll see if he pops in.
