Toyota Hilux 4x4 World Record Attempt

by andrew on 29 October 2010

It seems everyman and his 4x4 are trying to set records before November commences. Hot on the wheels of the blistering drive from London to Cape Town by the Max Adventure Team, comes the celebration of 40 years of Toyota Hilux heritage in South Africa.

On Saturday, 30 October 2010, the 4WD Club of South Africa's Western Cape Branch will attempt to orchestrate the largest gathering of Toyoata 4x4's in the world.

The event promises prizes, festivities and of course hundred of new, old and modified Toyota Hiluxs.

I was there !!
It was a great event and very well organized.
I couldn’t see the ‘40’ so clearly from the top of the sand dunes, so would love to see the air photo.

Please post?

Thanks

I was there! Two days in a row. Our club were responsible for the organization. Massive attempt. Massive job. Every vehicle that had to enter, we had to deflate the tyres, do the indemnities, etc. It was such fun and I think we are the greatest 4x4 club in the country!
