Hi All,
I just joined this forum as I am planning to buy and outfitt a Hilux for overlanding in southern Africa. I am living in Europe (before Switzerland, now Germany) but plans are to also move to South Africa, starting with a few month traveling in the area, before choosing a location and settling down.
This will be my first serious overland vehicle because I currently own a Lada Niva. Ok for everything in Europe (including Iceland, where I am right now) but with limitations not acceptable in Africa.
Therefore I am researching all the information available on the internet right now and are looking forward to get to work on a vehicle. As I will not have my own place and a workshop to use when I do this I will mainly rely on prefessional services and here I am hoping for some tips in this forum where to go, as well as other technical advice.
Looking forward to some interesting discussions...
As for my choosen name in this forum. I got to know and love southern Africa by way of traveling with small aircraft in this region throughout the last years. What was intended as a once in a livetime experience, flying an aircraft through Africa, developed into a passion and now the decision to live there. And 42 is, as some of your know, is the answer to THE question.
Regards
Frank
