Wazee Wa Zamani Walikuwa Wananunua Gari Cash. Enzi Za 404, 504, Massey Ferguson 240

THOSE WERE THE DAYS WHEN BANKS DISCRIMINATED PEOPLE AND OPENING A BANK ACCOUNT INVOLVED A LOT OF RED TAPE

Zamani miaka ya 80s hakukuwa uhuni mwingi wa Wash-Wash. Wazee wa siku hizo walikuwa wanatafuta rafiki mmoja ama wawili wawe witness ana pelekwa Marshals hapo CBD anasorora Peugeit mpya huku amebeba bag ambaye haweki chini.

Gari inafunguliwa anaangalia ndani, bonnet pia inafungilwa anaona kitu ni mpywa. Anaenda anamwaga pesa kwa meza. Ksh 500,000 in old 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 notes.

504 and later 505 SR za Nyeri zilijulikana in Greek as NYERI KANA MATUINI meaning Nyeri or Heaven. Those things used to fly at 140Kph watu wote wananyamaziana. They had installed an extra seat kwa boot.

There is a reason why Flying Squad used Peugeot 504. Zilikuwa zimeandikwa Limited Slip Differential hapo nyuma chini ya ya lable ya 504

Cars were fewer back then, so it was possible to average 110kph on the roads. I know someone who had an 80s 3 series and he could do 5 hours in that same distance.

In the novel (MY LIFE IN CRIME) by Kiria Miti, he has praised this car. They robbed many benks in Kenya with it. Land Rover GK haingeshika hii gari hata kwa matope

Part of the reason it was so fast was coz it had very light panels. Not what you want in a major accident in terms of safety.

Kule West Africa bado 504 ziko huko ocha kama Matatus and Taxis. Peugeot had an assembly plant in one of those colonies.

These Peugeots did not have a Ladder frame chassis, that saved weight but it also had its drawbacks.

Egypt & Libya, Iraq nao wako na Mercedes W124 za 1980s


You can see the 504 Saloon on the left of the Mercedes W124

This thing killed our family friend in 1996, he had sneaked out with one of his fathers car to celebrate with his friends over 100kms away. On their way back early in morning, the boy started dozing just like the other occupants in that vehicle . The car hit the edge of the colonial Piped guard rail and that’s how him together with three other occupants lost their lives on the spot. Gari lilikatika katikati ikawa vipande viwili tofauti.

The AP’s guarding both upper and lower gates in their residential home nearly lost their jobs.
