I was once stopped by a cop only for her to admire my reska. On seeing my tires, her next comment was “hizi miguu zimeisha”. I responded by indicating that they were performance tires; semi-sleeks. “Nunueni vitu tunaelewa” that was her last response. They were worn out though 😅
So today I had a chance to sit in one of my bucket list BMWs; the legendary G11 7 series. My oh my!!! When they say money cannot buy happiness, tell them to give you that extra cash they have I show you where to buy that happiness. Let’s start off with the exterior
Barely an hour went by after my bro
@alexmwanzo
twitted about this when he got himself in a similar scenario after an Uber guy decided to hard brake on a freaking highway. It’s sad when bikers and cyclists suffer under the ignorance of bad drivers. Get well soon bro 🙏🏾
We are losing FAAAAARRR to many cyclists too accidents on our roads?
We need to champion road safety and good practices for both riders and drivers

IT’S OFFICIAL!!!! Our resident makanika
@alexmwanzo
has done it!!! Evidence is all over the socials. The E30 made its first drive EVER without breaking. It was nice having his gaidi and son present to witness this 👌🏾😁. Mpesa number: 0724452115. Let’s do this!!!
Tulisema hakuna kutembea tena kama mifugo. For only 465K, get yourself this lovely BMW E34, facelift edition. Literally this is a buy and drive unit. Full suspension overhauled, smooth running M43 engine best for fuel economy, sunroof and AC. Reach out for more details.
She killed my campus desk mate, Farid was his name. It was gruesome, 22 damn stabs with no signs of self defense. My pal died a painful death. Let’s see how the justice system responds to this. I’m so much waiting…
This weekend let’s give
@alexmwanzo
a challenge; he drives his shitbox to limuru and back without it breaking and we transform it for him from frame 2 to frame 1. 77k followers we all send Ksh 10 to the resident makanika’s embesha if he succeeds. Who’s in?
The e30 we were promised versus the one that's being catwalked on our timelines.
In there between the two lies the blood of Jesus, a few keshas, a couple more arguments with gaidi and a poor child's school fees.
We wait.
So yesterday was our wedding anniversary and my wife had the time of her life; not in a fancy restaurant or a getaway experience but in our 27 year-old jalopy enjoying an evening cruise with my

family. A cake to crown the day was enough
Guys, prepare yourselves!!! Our resident makanika
@alexmwanzo
is finally here with a bang! 🔥🔥🔥. Tomorrow it is; he does the lap we transform his shitbox 10 shillings after the other. Details to follow.
LONG THREAD ALERT!!!
So sometime back I posted about the reliability of the M5X BMW engines. I had a 2000cc M50 engine that was really reliable. Since I got the car, all I ever did was just normal service; oil change, filters, plugs…
The M5X engine series have proved to be one of the best and reliable engines in the BMW engines lineup. Mine has served me well with no single breakdown since I got the car. But it’s time I upgraded to something new-age. I’m selling my M50B20….
This year couldn’t have started any better! Frame 1 working on an E39 BMW with an Alpina 3.4l engine; Goals!!! Frame 2, seeing my buddy
@alexmwanzo
’s E30 on the road after a journey that took blood, sweat and tears literally!

is up for grabs. For an enthusiast with a heart and soul to transform it to its desired glory. DM for serious buyers. Documents are available.
There you have it,
@alexmwanzo
back to his famous phrase “kuja bypass sai sai” 😅. Anyway, this is going to be one impressive build to follow. I’ve driven it and I can tell, there’s a lot of potential in it! Nice one bro. Now I think I’ll switch to forced induction on my BMW 😈
I was going through my stuff today and apparently I found I’d stacked all

receipts of purchases made this year from January to date. Wueeh! Let me tell you guys…. I don’t know why I’ve not won anything with them yet.

So today I took
@alexmwanzo
to go and make some bad life choices… Yap! Dude just brought home another Golf, but this time a GTI 😈. The journey of builds never ends. Watch out for what’s about to come your way.
Day 1:Wash the previous sins. 🤌🏾
12000cc in one frame, ALLEGEDLY the fastest BMW powered E36s in 254. Frame 2, enjoying the Makongo twisties along Machakos-Makueni route with

So yesterday I had the chance to drive a 2017 Range Rover Sport HSE. I’ll be very honest, I’ve never been a fan of this specific model but here’s a quick review of my few minutes interacting with this British engineering.
Usiingie 2024 ukitembea kama mifugo. Here’s a lovely BMW E36 up for grabs. Running a 4 cylinder engine, good on fuel economy. It’s a perfect daily and can make a good blank canvas as well for someone willing to turn it into a project car. Asking price 260k. Buy and drive.
For those doubting my fuel consumption for the drive to Mt. Ololokwe and back, here’s a thread on every stop from Nairobi to Ololokwe and back. Fueled full tank at Shell drive thru in survey

is an addiction. It’s like a drug that flows deep in your veins pumping every ounce of happiness that a heart can hold. It’s a therapist on wheels. I can say much but seeing our one-handed makanika
@alexmwanzo
taking his dose says it all
Pro tip: always keep your engine and engine bay clean. It helps when you want to check for leaks, breakages and foreign objects. Depending on where you stay, once in two weeks cleaning can be ideal.
It was an ultimate test that I put my car to and it didn’t disappoint even a single bit. 665kms done in less than full tank. Can’t get any better than this 👌🏾😁
This might be one of the fastest but best builds I’ve seen through so far.
Frame 1: block thread reinforcement
Frame 2: cylinder head resurfaced
Frame 3: breaking in, 100kms done
Frame 4: comparing notes
@alexmwanzo
is having a good Christmas this year. For the wins my bro 🤝🏾
My boy
@alexmwanzo
is one chap that doesn’t accept growing alone. My small wins in the car scene is almost entirely because of his influence and input. Thanks bruv 🤝🏾
Kukua na marafiki kama
@alexmwanzo
ni shida tupu. Umemaliza project car yako, umesettle alafu nibbas anaamua boom! Mk5 GTI build. 🤦🏾♂️ sasa sijui I do a golf build as well ama I reject. Ako on a revenge mission 😅
Weekends are for boys and their toys. Today I spent the better part of the day with makanika
@alexmwanzo
fixing his VAG unit. One minute the whole front-end is out, the other minute we are flying low at the Expressway. What more can men ask for?
So today I decided to go rhino charging with my humble beast… let me tell you guys, I need that X5! 😩I felt the pain when Bella scrabbed her belly on those mud-filled roads. Frame 2 and 3 is after, I had to give her some TLC to wipe off that pain.
Mambo imechemka! Out with the old, in with the new. Hapa makanika

This thread is about wheels:
We’ve always been sharing ideas with wifey on how we’d want our project car (Bella) to look like. Frame 1 to 3 are the options we’ve had in mind so far. That conversation was from 2020. Frame 4 is a photo I took yesterday. To get here…
Mambo imechemka!!! Another dangerous
