Newbie from Cape Town

Post by Diffloc »

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. :wave: 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 :lmao: :lmao:

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 :thumbup:

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 :blackeye:

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
