August 2008
Autozine August
The longest journey begins with a turn of the ignition key. Once safely in the driver’s seat, the only concern becomes a rear-view mirror with a cop in it.

There has been a dearth of quality, local information and this has led many of us to play Russian roulette when making any motoring-related decisions; buying a car, servicing, insuring, selling etc.
We will quench your thirst for such information, take you on board test drives of various, locally-available vehicles (cars, trucks and tractors) and advice you on what and what not to buy.Without further ado here are some previews of what is in the August issue.

Sick Prius
John Koigi

He is probably the only mechanic in Kenya who can repair the damaged system of a Toyota Prius. Yet, by his average, non-assuming demeanour, he can pass off as a farm hand or an apprentice bicycle repairman.
