My name is Ali, and I\u2019ve always been a motor head. I literally grew up in an auto garage. I got used to hot radiator steam burns, oil spillages, gaskets, crankshafts, turbo heads and God know what else under the hood – before I could walk.<\/p>\n

My father ran a family garage, and his father before him. I could drive before I learnt the alphabet, and, frankly speaking, missing school wasn\u2019t a big deal, then. But, a careless oil smudge on a client\u2019s car upholstery would earn you a fearsome spanking. Or, a misplaced rotary spanner head.<\/p>\n

The family dinner table wasn\u2019t the classic family dinner table. Heck, we didn\u2019t even have a dinner table. We\u2019d eat, sprawled on the patchy garage floor littered with pieces of a dis-bowelled engine.<\/p>\n

There was a bare yellow bulb hanging high from the rafters – and, sometimes it would blow out. It\u2019d be days before anyone replaced it.<\/p>\n

But the moments were magical. I\u2019d spend hours listening to father rattle about this or that engine part. He\u2019d periodically have 3 or 4 apprentices learning from him. He wouldn\u2019t charge learning fees, lots of times it\u2019d be returning favors owed to their fathers. Or, something else.<\/p>\n

At one point, there\u2019s an apprentice who spent months in our garage – and when he stopped coming, we wouldn\u2019t know how to trace him. No one knew his name.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
A beautiful section of The Great North Road<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Well, I didn\u2019t attend high school. I opted for a driving and mechanic course at the local Eldoret Polytechnic. For the papers. I already knew more about engines than they could ever teach me. It was both fun and exhausting.<\/p>\n

Have you ever sat through a terrific story you\u2019ve heard a few hundred times before? Well, that kind of fun and exhausting.<\/p>\n

Fast forward a decade, and, a half. Perhaps. The garage still runs, and my father is semi-retired. Which means he likes to hover over my kid brother as he takes care of client\u2019s engines. Kind of explains kiddo always got earphones on, blasting away.<\/p>\n

I could never sit still, and engines are engines, anyway. I preferred driving, and took that up as my vocation.<\/p>\n

Since then, I\u2019ve been driving all over Africa for different clients. I have been in everything from commercial trucks and buses, Safari tour vans to executive, luxury cabs. My love, though, lies in long-distance trucking. Big, high-riding trucks.<\/p>\n

A lot of remarkable experiences happen in these long transit runs.<\/p>\n

For instance, while with Red Cross, I was doing the Isiolo-Moyale-Marsabit Road to deliver supplies to a charity outpost on the Ethiopian border. This was a newly tarmacked road, into a hitherto unexplored hinterland. Travel enthusiasts were a dime a dozen doing road trips, and camping.<\/p>\n

I had been on that road a few times, and it was an endless piece of obscurity – \u201cOh, look, more sand\u2026..\u201d ain\u2019t that exciting, right? The road, though was beautiful. A straight line of flawless bitumen, and few cars.<\/p>\n

On that day, just past Merille – a dusty, hot town just before Marsabit, an open-back pickup truck pulls up. We are not speeding. My truck is high up – am in an Isuzu FSR<\/strong><\/a> – so I can look down on the pickup. It\u2019s an Isuzu D-Max<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

It seems like a family, the man is driving, alone in the cabin. Nothing odd about that. What gave me a \u2018WHAAAT\u2019 moment, was that the lady was in the rear, open part – and a little boy is propped up on a mattress and cushions just behind the driver\u2019s cabin.<\/p>\n

She is slicing tomatoes onto a pan. As they pass, I notice what seems like a modern kitchen-full worth of fittings on that rear part.<\/p>\n

Is the man driving as the wife cooks in the rear? Like, is this a family road trip idea?<\/em><\/p>\n

A little ways down the road, I notice the Isuzu D-Max<\/strong> parked on the roadside. The family is sitting down to a hot meal! They wave, as I blow my air horn\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n

A perfect family moment, on the road!<\/p>\n

***************<\/p>\n

Co-op Bank<\/a> has a vehicle financing deal with Isuzu – , dubbed \u2018Biashara Iendelee na Isuzu<\/a> – <\/em><\/strong>that gives clients up to 95% funding on selected vehicle brands to boost Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are versatile lorry and pick-up trucks ideal for business, from Isuzu Kenya.<\/p>\n

If they wish, clients can also apply for a Ksh.500,000 working capital facility to ride out the crippling Covid-19 season. Other exciting perks is the 60 day grace period, a negotiated motor vehicle insurance cover and the longest, flexible re-payment periods in the market – 5 years.<\/p>\n

I hope more families with a knack for road trips gets wind of this deal.<\/p>\n
