History
Hi, my name is Maurice Compton. We came to S.A. in 1975 from the U.K. I worked as a foundry patternmaker until I retired in 2011. I got into off roading in 1992 with a Nissan Sani this lasted until 1994 when I bought our fist Hilux, this one was written off in 2012. We bought a 1995 Raider in 2013 and this is our current vehicle. We have been members of the Four Wheel Drive Club of Southern Africa since 1992 and I have been threatening to join the Hilux Club for the last 4 or 5 years and now its finally happened thanks to some encouragement from Neil at 4x4 Direct at Boksburg. We have traveled to Namibia, Botswana, Caprivi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Mozambique and Malawi. I have always enjoyed the articles on web site and will hopefully be able to contribute some of my mods.

Re: History
Welcome aboard, Maurice!
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!
