In many years, the notion has been that some of the exotic European cars cannot be found in Kenya. The likes of Rolls Royce Phantoms, Ferraris, Porsche 911, Maserati Quattroporte, Audi R8, BUGATTI VEYRON 16.4 SUPERSPORT, Lamborghinis, Bentley Mulsanne, some from the east like Nissan GTR....among others.
But a closer look on our Kenyan roads gives us a different glimpse of the reality. Local artist Prezzo drives a Bentley, a lamborghini, among other SUVs; another local artist Jaguar has an Aston Martin DB9, a Bentley Continental GT drophead, just to name but a few among his collection; the sons of the founder of the famous bus company Coast Bus have been seen around driving some posh automobiles like the Chrysler 300C, Ferrari 458...etc
To show that these cars are no match fro the pockets of the common man too, some young guys in their late twenties to early thirties drive Nissan GTRs, Range Rover Vogue 2013 Project Kahn, Mercedes CLS AMG edition, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camarros, among others.
Others don't find pride in four wheelers, they opt to hit the road in two wheeled mosters. Lately, comedian Chipukeezy of Churchill show has unleashed a sports machine on two wheels. A drive along thika road in the late evenings and night times, and you will severally hear buzzing sounds of the likes of Kawasaki Ninjas, Hayabusas, and Ducatis sprint by you and gain range from you. Trust me, you can't outrun these monsters.
Anyways, I just wanted to show you that Kenya has got the prides we normally think can't make it on our roads already running on them. Lastly, watch out this space for the latests on what drives on our roads and the fun and heritage behind them, alongside other new stuff coming up socially, politically and also economically.
