Once again; the W124 Mercedes. The greatest car ever built, brings tears to my eyes. The sight of it pulling up behind you on the A 104(in a 504 when you are doing 160 kph)then it lingers for a few seconds,indicator light still blinking, and away it goes.You will not see it again.

I cannot forget the FIAT trailers as well driven by miraa chewing Somali drivers. Huge trailers driven by petite humans.

I was told that circa 1963-5 every Kenyan Patriot had to have a Renault Roho. Never seen what one looks like. Bur Renault was must have Kenya badge!

Also the Datsun 120Y deserves a mention. It paved the way for the K70s and the rest of them.

Great job. You may have to expand this to a top 20 or top 30. My addition would be the Bedford J6. It ruled the roads long before the Isuzu HTR & FTR became commonplace on our roads. These trucks could go anywhere, only that they consume more water than KDF!

Let's hope CMC will fix their issues (for the sake of everyone who owns a VW in EAK).
