Hi from Austria
So.. i recently became a proud '85 Hilux Diesel owner. Had to import from Netherlands since it's impossible to find one where I live.

Re: Hi from Austria
The vehicle looks like it could be built in South Africa, at least your rims were made in the RSA and so does the front bull bar.
You bought a fine specimen, keep it standard!

Re: Hi from Austria
Welcome Jan! Grüss Dich! Jetzt hast du ein besten die 4x4's! 
Grüss Dich! Jetzt hast du ein besten die 4x4's! 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!

Hi from Austria
Had some fun the other day, in Inhambane, Mozambique. But hey, Hilux is Hilux, right? Blew out water from the cylinders and she hums sweetly
