Newbie from Cape Town
Hi all. I'm from Cape Town and new to the forum, been reading a bit and thought its time to join and say hi. I'm in the process of buying a 4x4. I'm looking at SFA's. So no Hilux as of yet. Pretty soon hopefully. I like the SFA Hiluxes because of their legendary offroading reputation. Am I nuts,good choice?? Hoping I will have some fun on the forum and lots of fun on the tracks

Hi there, welcome here to our world.
It doesn't matter to us what you drive, as long as we can see pictures
My first, and only 4x4 so far, is a SFA. I am very happy with it and it plays
just as nice as the newer 4x4's out there.
Good luck with your search

Re: Newbie from Cape Town
Welcome Carlo. SFA is a great choice. Simple to maintain and much more fun to drive than the newer toys in my opinion....although you do sacrifice comfort (worth considering if the wife has a say).
..... also easy to steal

Thanks butcher. No wife so my say is the only one that counts. I like the simple to maintain bit. I like working on and servicing my vehicles myself as much as possible

Yes, yes ... SFA!!!
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
