I met a couple of the guys at Tinus "Afrcian Offroad's" home here this evening, including our very own Okkie van Wyk and Dave Faddel from the 4x4 Community Forum. Also a couple of other Training Assessors, Shaun, Braam and one other, shamefully whose name I am unable to recall.
Great meeting you, Guys!
We bumped into Johann (3 Blind Monkeys) at Augrabies recently, and in March we stopped at Winkelshoek in Piketberg when a mean biker dude pulled up, none other than Steve (Zeplin).
Although I have met both of them before, meeting them in these places were unexpected and great..

Saw the Hiux sticker

Just checking the dates of this thread... it's taken more than a year to spot any Hiuxer's
There are many I have met, will have to pull out my "floppy disk" and re run
Ek het gisteraand saam met drie Hiuxer's gebraai,

Doesn't really look stuck....must have been something els....wonder
Poor Piet probably didn't even get a chance to say more than "hello" and "goodbye" in those 3 hours!!
Whoever you are hello from swartlux your fellow 4x4 buddy

Het so 2 weke terug vir Hugo AKA Agteros in Heidelberg GP ontmoet. Het 'n stel bande by hom gekoop. Hy en sy vrou is nou in Marokko
Was Vrydag 14 September oppad van Johannesburg na Mosselbaai. Stop by die Engen vulstasie by Kroonvaal. Sien 'n wit IFS met Hilux 4x4 Club plakker op. Stap nader en stel my voor. Kry 'n knorrige "Ja Arno van der Merwe" as antwoord. Man gaan net aan om bande te probeer pomp en vloek. Weet nou nog nie wie dit was nie. Hy het seker 'n slegte "hair day" gehad.

YOH! Dis nie lekker nie, maar ons weet nie wat was die man se omstandighede op daai tyd nie ... kon iets ergs gewees wat hom gekwaal het, maar darem kon jy 'n voorstelling verwag het en miskien 'n verskoning hoekom hy op daai oomblik nie tyd gehad om bietjie te gesels ............ "slegte hair day"
Kom ek wed jou daar was n vrou of n Landrover betrokke
We've met a few members in bots and Zambia,always nice to see those stickers as you pull into a campsite,you always know your stay is going to be great even if the campsite sucks.hilux drivers always have a great vib around them,unlike the LR guys
Kom ek wed jou daar wasn vrouof n Landrover betrokke
Hey Boet, are you having a 'bad hair day'? Jy moet versigtig trap, jou sussie gaan jou blik..m. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Daar was ongelukkig nie een van daai twee in sig nie. Ek moet se, ek het nogal heel afgehaal gevoel. ALMAL van die forum en/of die klub wat ek al vantevore mee te doen gehad het, was vriendelike en opgevoede mense.

Welcome Luke, 199 000 km's is not much for a Hilux, my Vigo has done more than 260 000 with no problems. There is a few guys with more than 400 000 km's on the clock.
You were already family the moment you were both registered on this forum! Good to hear that the ties are strengthening though!

Jip. Sommer so langs die pad.
I passed 4x4 Direct" platkar "(Aygo) yesterday I went pass to fast for any pics in my" platkar".
I came across this beast in a parking lot in Windhoek. Unfortunately did not have time to wait for the owners, one of the stickers happens to be a Hilux4x4 sticker

Thanks for the lekker "Boere troos" unsweetend naturally. It was great chatting to you.
I'm living in Pretoria and met the first Hiluxer 270km away from me, lol
I'm looking forward to our next encounter.
P.S. I'm also looking forward meeting the other this weekend in Serendipity
Well, not exactly a meeting, but I saw this Hilux in the parking area of a client in Pta West. Nice rig!
