Driver Name
Driver Bio
My name is Matthew, Cape Town South African born and raised! From a young age I've been obsessed with trucks (bakkies) as they have been a part of my life since I was born. I moved to the UK in 2018 after 5 years in Joburg and bought my first ranger in 2020. After I bought the first truck and added a few mods I joined Ranger Club UK and have had an amazing time and met so many great friends! I got my 2nd Ranger (3.2 Wildtrak 2019) a year ago and with the help of fellow members Matt and Luke I am absolutely in love with the new truck. Looking forward to many more adventures and to help grow the club from strength to strength.

Future Plans
For this year I aim to complete the build starting with upgrading the suspension and then attending all the Ranger Club UK events, I also want to look into a tour of Northern Ireland. I also look forward to working on doing many maintenance jobs on the truck to ensure longevity going forward as I want to keep the truck for many years to come.
