Car Mechanics

fixing too many mechanical and electrical problems before hitting the road

Location: 

Lagiri Rd, Nairobi, Kenya

Duration: 

Wednesday, August 31, 2016

Personal highlights

  1. Mistake: not excessively testing the car before buying
  2. Surprise: more and more problems occur during repair
  3. Grounded: after some issues, the engine has to be replaced
  4. Finale: leaving Nairobi with some delay, ready for NyegeNeyege!
  5. Aftermath: more problems on the road will be expected...
