I had a similar experience a couple years ago.
The parent company of the group I work for sent me to Switzerland for training. One day in class a couple of our trainers,who also happen to work in the production purchasing group, offered to give us a tour of the product lines in their area of responsibility. After touring the production lines we went into the office area where I noticed one of my trainers had a picture of himself standing next to a '70 cuda in his cube. Asking him if that was his Cuda, he confirmed it was and he also had a Dart he was working on that he didn't feel was nice enough to take photos off yet. Got to talking to him about old mopars and made a friend who I still talk to occasionally today.
It just struck me how awesome it was that I was half a world away and could still meet mopar enthusiasts.
