“Look after my car OK? I had no problems with it the year I was here - should be fine - you’ve got previous, so take it easy”

Robins words to me before leaving Malawi.

Since January, when he left the car in my hands, it has needed the following:

• 1 new tyre after it blew out in first week hitting something during a rainstorm
• 2 new fan-belts
• 1 new battery.
• 1 missing piece of ojeni off the front bumper.
• 1 tow & service after cooling system broke down Friday night and car nearly exploded on Saturday morning - Mechanic’s wide eyed exclamation of “he was actually driving this thing in this condition!!??!?!”.

How else did he expect us to get to the bar?

So, not bad so far.

I’ve not actually crashed yet.
