Oh, what a reminder to me. The rally of its own class. Dubbed as the toughest rally in the world.
50 years on after fast rally cars cruised the East African soil, came to an end in the year 2003.

I miss the cars and the whole rally itself. I remember in the mid nineties, when a car got stuck in the mud, barely 11 km from our town centre. Two men were picked bu one of the escort cars to go and assist pushing the car off the mud.
Innocently, two strong men gave in and went aboard the car. Shock! There were no seatbelts, and the car roamed on at a super speed towards the emergency spot. This was true, because, the whole issue was to get there in time and have car get on with the rally!! I guess it was Bjorn Waldergaard's, or Carlos Sainz or Richard Burns or Tommi Makinnen or Juha Khankunnen or Patrick Njiru's??

Well, the two men narrated the story to other eager men around them after the rescue, and said, they will never get aboard a rally car again! Everyone was eagerly accepting that imagining the super speed of the car. It is just F1 that has never been hosted in Africa, hope sometime. And the audience will be awed and astonished with the magical speed of Ferrari's and the Mclaren's and the renaults!
Always drive safely!

The first time I thought Maclaren was a little over excited with the appointment, he dropped David the player.
Then Capello, Real coach opted to never pick David off the bench again after the lucrative deal with LA Galaxies.

The SuperMan has rose above all those. He is key to Real and England after both managers realized how wrong they were. magnificent David has shown that him wothout playing is NEVER a complete team, whether in club or country.
Well David Beckham heading to LA is now inevitable, but Real tries to challenge it.
But the truth still remains, how he wil manage long hours of travel from LA to London and back and forth!!

When I flash back, when my grandmother and other oratures during my childhood narrated to me horror stories.It seemed real to me, especially when they tell about a monster that had one leg that could jump several kilometers in a single step!!

In the night, I could dream about the same Chemosi thing chasing me, now you could imagine the kind of dream I had.
But soon as I grew up, I found out that there are no monsters of that kind. Life is real but full of downs! and ups. As I reflected back on the stories I was told some 17 years ago, I get that truly mother earth had it all. They were meant to prepare me for all the things that were going to follow. In this earth, there are accidents, diseases, racism, deadly wild animals, natural calamities etc. All this are just bad trends that really do happen always!
Take care all.
