she is a 1997 Mitsubishi Lancer GL, locally assembled, she is built like a true blooded Japanese car. The engine is only 1500cc,no computers. Sporty in looks,and performance is just moderate,but good for fuel efficient driving.The engine is smooth though with sleek sound. I think she's a perfect car for a small family or someone who needs a smooth ride with low fuel cost,she looks good,and she has a lot of accessory parts that you can put to custom her. ... alafu the stupid girl pee's on her tss bure kabisa.


had to do this

@ Wendz,I feel you. Listening to some of that crap is not any different from listening to dr. Mutua. A guy struggling to talk about a second hand car for more than ten minutes. The only time I did something like that is when a girlfriend of mine,rather a female friend gave me a lift in her automatic B15 and I noted how she was ruining the car’s gearbox. So I gave her some tips. Wendz patia the starlet guy some benefit of doubt,the Merc could have been a KKV ….being driven to the Concours d’elegance



@ Zamali. Is your Nissan Sunny the only one ever built? And logically any car can do Busia in an hour,just depends on where the starting point is. For yours,the starting point could even be Korinda. Stop bragging about the cheap second hand Japanese junk that is classified as hazardous waste in other countries,including it’s origin. Try just five bags of cement in the trunk of that car and then tell us what you will see.



Notice how the most jeuri drivers on our roads will be young men driving their 2001 110s or B15s that they would even refer to as 'my new car'. Always hooting,never give way even when its due and at the slightest contact,they come out of their junks like Jack Bauer. It’s simply the 'nouvelle riche' syndrome where one believes they are different from the rest just because they drive a used car.



Stop It. Wacha kabisa


What a bam bam?

@ Wendz i totally agree with you,i desist from discussing car issues with men. There is this guy we drive the same model of cars mine is 2002,his is 1997 and he brags to me that his is the original machine that can do upto 160KMPH,just because i dont overspeed.

I think what i need to understand is where the passion comes from. I do take good care of my car,but am not sure if i feel it the way men feel their cars... I think thats the bit i dont understand.....

Some deals are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

ohhh
This takes me way back. They say charity begins at home well my car experience began with my dad's firstcar.
A morris 'maina' KVC xxxx. This was a car my mum hated it with a paasion. it could emit a bellow of smoke that could change the weather forecast in an instant.
... leak oil like it was on diarrhoea. The doors used to hav a mind of their on.on some days only one car door would work and some days you had to get in thro the window.
The damned thing had to b pushed most morning jus to start it.
One time it jus switched off and refused to start jus before a police roadblock. You can imagine the amusement on the police officers when my dad had to squeeze himself thro the window when the doors refused to open.My mum swore neva to ride in that thing again. Good thing though I got to learn so much abt cars frm the mechanics who had turned our front yard to a mini garage.
Despite its shortcomings my dad used to brag about that car like it was made from the moon. That used to set off a mini world war III between him n my mum. Eventually the morris threw in the towel and my mum turned the shell to a chicken shed so fast to kill off any ideas of resurrecting it. My dad finally sold it off to a scrap metal dealer.We still have a good a laugh in our family when we remember that morris.

Just make sure you do your homework well before you part with your cash.

@waswa,wendz is referring to this thread.

Can silence be misquoted?

enjoyed reading this old thread. I also noticed there are some wazuans who were there and i have never met. Where r they?

Eli signed out of Wazua?

Toyota since 2009 and no issues.......

This is an interesting thread. Even hilarious. Those who have not acquired their first rides yet know what to avoid, hopefully. But hey, what's this obsession with four wheels? In a congested city like Nairobi, doesn't using a motorcycle instead make sense? Think about it, you pay less for fuel and maintenance, the weather rarely gets really bad for riding if you have the appropriate gear, you'll hardly get stuck in the traffic jam... Any good reason we Kenyans find this an unacceptable option ama ni kitu ya culture? My apologies for subverting the thread somewhat, but I thought these sentiments blend well with it's general spirit of the good and the bad of personal transportation.
