Après de nombreuses petites chutes à l'arrêt essentiellement, clignos et optiques ne sont plus l'ombre d'eux-mêmes. Direction un grand spécialiste mécanique auto et moto, connu par le bouche à oreille local qui va nous customiser adroitement nos MSX à la mode Mad Max. Au moins c'est du costaud et efficace en plus ! Elles peuvent tomber, elles ne risquent plus rien ! Son équipe ne s'arrêtera pas là et nous vérifierons le bon fonctionnement du treuil avant et arrière en déroulant ces 60m de cable 😂... Là encore nous ne payerons quasiment rien, juste les pièces et un chouia directement aux ouvriers. Cargol et les motos sont désormais prêts à tout ! ℹ️ -1.24975 36.66500 _______________________________________________ There's one constant in capitals, and that's that you feel tiny. I'll have to submit it to the Académie Française 😂. Well, Nairobi isn't very well known as a tourist city. Although it's a bit of an urban jungle, the safari hasn't been invented in the city yet either. It's a city full of contrasts, where you can see at a glance the residential areas of the rich, the areas with small buildings where people are struggling to get by, and the shantytown-like areas with corrugated iron where people are surviving with their feet in molasses. There's one area that's undoubtedly modern, but that's not really what jumps out at you when you drive through the city amidst the small, brightly-coloured buses, thousands of moped taxis, travelling carts, cows and so on. In short, we're not here for tourism, but to prepare our future. And our future is our little, er sorry average Cargol. Not BIG, there's a lot bigger than him! Cargol has travelled more than 60,000 km since his departure, so a few check-ups are in order... During one of my past readings (don't laugh), 1st in the Longcourt prize of I don't know what year, published by Machette, I had picked out a place that could be useful to us one day. We were right to try our luck there. Checking and cleaning the brakes, opening the engine to see that everything's fine, changing the gearbox oil, improving the handbrake, various checks, changing the foam and fabric of the seats for Cargol and the bikes... in short, everything's fine, Cargol can drive off stronger than ever... The originality of the garage lies in the fact that it's not really a mechanical garage, but rather a body shop specialising in refurbishing badly damaged vehicles. Their big hobby is removing the bodywork and interior, stripping the chassis and engine bare and redoing everything that's wrong. And that's for cars and trucks! Impressive work. So there's no need to send a vehicle to the scrap heap because it's got a crooked fart or a lot of well-placed diarrhoea. It's a very family-run business, run by a fascinating woman who grew up in the company, whose father was also a Formula 1 racing driver in the 60s, in a 800hp car designed with his engineer brother. Their Formula 1 car from that era hangs on the beams of the warehouse, gathering dust... A family with a heart of gold, who let us live and sleep alone in their business for several days and who asked us what we got back for all those hours spent on Cargol? not a penny 😳 the pleasure of welcoming travellers. No comment. We'll be giving directly to the workers, much to their delight.
