@mungaits, just for your info, Jaguar sold three of those things at the show. To a duke from Kabeteshire, to the only Kenyan holding a European Championship Medal and I still don't know the third person who forked out 17 metres. The closest used car dealers came was the website www.cheki.co.ke. Look it up, it's impressive.

I habour genuine thought that a probox would have attracted a much bigger and serious crowd than the Range Rover HSE/Sports did?  Portfolio: Sold

I switched off the Total Motor show about two years ago when I realized that I would not see anything more than what I would see on the traffic jam in the city. What is the point of paying the money to go see a car exterior just like I would in the jam? The guys showing the cars have no idea what a motor show is about! It should be about feeling the car, sitting in it and then you could later organise for a test drive if it suits your fancy. There should be a drive- by of the cars on display so that guys see it in action. If it has a particular distinctive feature, then that should be displayed in action. No wonder they hardly get serious fellows going for the shows anymore. I once went for a Show where Landrover event where they were allowing guys to drive a short distance. Guess what, they sold two cars pap! I Think Therefore I Am

A guy who I know has the chums turned to him and said jokingly, "Kasee, it is only you who doesn't have it"

A Veyron is a Bugatti. Veyron=Bugatti=Bijuti???  Bijuti  Veyron is a model from Bugatti. Bugatti Veyron Supersport is currently the world's fastest production car (431.07 km/h). It retails at US$ 2.4 million - Kshs 228 million and its reported that the actual production costs are abt 5 times - so basically they sell at a loss just to put the cars out there and show innovation leadership. At max speed (431kph), the Veyron will empty its tank in 12 minutes. To put that in perspective - assuming we have suitable roads and traffic conditions to allow that speed, if you left Nairobi at 7am, you'd refuel somewhere near Busia at around 7.15am.
