Hi all
Knave recently signed up to your form after spending some time admiring it's a guest.
I guess the main reason why I signed up is a mate of mine was between jobs and called me up one afternoon and asked if I wanted to go to Cape Town for a weekend but needed to take 3 months leave..... So we could drive there. Things moved on and my mate now has a new job working on the Olympics. However the idea of a trip through africa has stuck.
I am originally from South Africa and Since I was in school, my dad and his mates have been involved in 4x4s, mostly landcruisers. About 2 years ago I went back to do an overland trip from Johannesburg to Namibia and Botswana. It was awesome and really showed me how awesome these vehicles are. Made me wonder if an engineer in Japan really knows what he has designed and how hard they can work.
I digress a little, however I am no on the look out for a cruiser for future ownership. Not really ready to buy one yet, however want to get clued up as much as possible so when I do finally go shopping early next year, I know what my options are.
In the mean time I look fwd to reading the posts and hopefully will be able to spend an afternoon or 2 watching you boys (and girls) put these machines to the test.
In the mean time, here are some pics of my Namibia trip, definitely landcruiser country.
