@Njung'e - The Concourse Classic Car Sale deal is very fair: you pay about sh1,500 for the space and get three tickets worth sh1,200. That was the rate a few years ago I don't know about today....

They should be closing entries any time now so act quickly

By the way,the Alfa Romeo Owners Club (organisers of the Concourse d'Elegance) does an 'Economy Run' to find out whom amongs them have the most fuel efficient Alfa. They drive from the Caltex on Waiyaki Way (opposite kwa-Njugugan) to the Caltex at Naivasha.

Last year,the winner averaged 35km/L in a 2,000cc Alfa. That's the same as a Tuk-Tuk!!!

LOL @ Sheep!! you are a mess!

I totally agree with Mukiha,your driving style cramps your gas levels... and I especially feel bad when boys are out on MSA rd flooring it to move an inch in traffic? what? and for those MT lovers...engaging and leaving your foot on the clutch for all of 20 minutes dont you get tired?

if you can not be kind,at least have the decency to be vague

Hey guys,assuming you drive a manual gear shift,does driving your car on free save you good amounts of fuel. Like driving down to Nakuru there's a part (I think Kinungi) where you can free wheel for almost half an hour...Also very important - does free wheeling mess your engine in any way?

How is the Spacio New shape (NZE,VVT-i Engine) in terms of fuel consumption. Mukiha? Njung'e? et al

Same as the Toyota Corolla NZE. The engine is the same i.e. NZE121.

'35km/L in a 2,000cc Alfa' - unless he was rolling down from corner baridi past olepolos - no F-ing way!


Anywho - Peugeot 205 1124 cc - 16-18 km/litre - excellent clearance and a real workhorse. Problem: no temp indicator and can give grief when it starts heating

Still away from Japan......and on to more serious stuff.....Mini 850 or 1000 - 18-20 km/litre. The added benefit with this is that when it comes to minor collisions you have to stifle your laughter when you come out to check the 'damage' and see that fast and sleek japanese aluminum foil is all chewed up and all you need is some rubbing compound remove the scratches and u r good to go smile


Also,the obvious down side (aka why I will NEVER buy a Jap car) - no one is going to jack a european/american/bris*** car.

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

VVTi engines no matter the car!

many contributors seem to confuse engine type numbers and frame numbers. pls note that NZE121,AE100,ST210,AE110 an so on are frame numbers,not engine numbers! it just so happens that for example the spacio,fielder,corolla and a few other models share the same frame and engine. minor point but good to know
