Hello from Malta :D

Post by pawcu »

Hi Everyone!
My name is Paul and I am from a very small island in the Mediterranean sea. My hobbies are motorcycle riding, working on my pickup and motorcycles and basically modding everything I can get my hands on. Sometimes i find some time to play on my pc/xbox as well :P
I currently work as software developer so i try to get away from PC's after work hours - hence my hobbies. Currently not married but have an amazing girlfriend and hopefully someday will be my wife :P
I currently have a 2003 Toyota Hilux 270VX with a 2.5L D4D 2KD-FTV engine without an intercooler that I plan to sometime put on it... together with other mods :) I plan to start going some minor offroading with this pickup so plan to do some mods regarding that as well :)

Anyways i guess that is all there is to know about me. Thanks for such an amazing community.
Happy new year!

Welcome Paul, good to have you here!

Down in the Deep South with the current heat wave that we are experiencing, we find it very difficult to actually read, but we're very good at looking at photos of members' vehicles - please oblige! :mrgreen:

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!

Welcome here Paul!!! Looking forward to seeing your Hilux. Malta does have some nice off road sections to play around in.

I can say that I have visited your Island many years ago and did some great scuba dives there and explored the island. I will return one day again. Great place to stay.. Please post some pics of the Island too for our fellow members here to see.

Enjoy the Hilux :thumbup:

Interesting that your model has the D4D engine, we only got this in 2005 with the Vigo shape Hilux!

Please do post some pics of your island as Johan suggests.
