I have already introduced myself and added my Hilux history here: viewtopic.php?f=136&t=26197.
In July 2011, I bought a Beige 1989 2.2 SFA d/c Hilux with a Bro-speed conversion, from a man in Pretoria who didn't care to much about the "bakkie" as he described it.
I drove it home from Pta to Secunda with a "workers" frame installed and canopy strapped on top of that. You must have seen this to appreciate the high tower and a Hilux driving at an angle due to high winds.
On my arrival in Secunda, I phoned my fiance and asked her to meet me outside, I wanted to show off with my new Hilux, she saw me driving around the corner with the Lux and just shook her head :scared: . When I asked her wat she thought, she said, allot of work, and then named my Lux, Snoekie.
She said it reminded her of the Snoek sellers in Cape Town. (She grew up in Franschhoek)
So Snoekie it will be.
Snoekie:
I have since traveled around 16000km with Snoekie, testing everything. Fuel consumption is great(compared to what others claim), ride not to hard but the non power steering is hard on the arms, especially in town.
I have already started with some repairs, will post photo's and continue sharing my story......
