Wilhelm van Rooyen AKA XenoBlitz

Post by XenoBlitz »

Ok, before I answer this long list of items:
Hi, my name is Wilhelm, I'm 28 years old and just bought my first (and if all goes well only) 4x4. A Nissan Patrol 4.5l GRX.
Looking forward to MANY happy (and maybe a few not so happy) trips to.... well just about anywhere.
I'm very new to the hobby so any and all advice will be taken in, but in the end, I'll decide which of those I plan to pay anything more than lip service. :P
I'm not the most outgoing person in the world, but pleasant and easy to get along with.

Hoping to speak with most of you soon and many trips together.

Regards

Dankie.

Dit voel goed om so verwelkom te word.

Ek sal graag belang stel in 'n kopie van daai CD. Ek het 'n manual saam met die voertuig gekry, maar ek hou maar van elektroniese formaat.

Welcome man!
Cant wait to see a pic of your truck as it sounds almost identical to mine :)
