Over the weekend I got a chance to
attend the 3rd edition of the Vintage and classic auto show at the
Sheraton gardens, credit to my sponsors the New Vision.
The show which kicked off as early as
10 in the morning attracted mostly those are enthusiastic about
classic cars. Some yearned to see and experience what our forefathers
felt in their rides.
There were all sorts of cars, but the
one that caught my eye was the road worthy and the condition of the
Ford Model T manufactured in as early as 1927 – actually the
oldest car that was on display that day. Too bad that it didn't win
the revered prize. If you are like who thought that Automatic
transmission cars are of this age, well you're right until you meet
the a sleek convertible blue Mercedes and the Triumph of the early
sixties with the later going on to claim the prize of the most
appealing car.
Arguably the highlight of the day is
when I landed on the owner of perhaps the most popular classic car in
Uganda as of today. Its this car that featured in Pastor Bugembe's
famous Bulibabutya music video and the only Peugeot that
participated and could take you to a round trip in Nairobi hustle
free.
It show wasnt only about vintage cars
as a round ticket was won to any destination in Europe courtesy of
Turkish Airlines. Prizes were also awarded to the best dressed male
and female though none showed up to claim their prizes for us to see
if whoever was on the panel got it right.
Next time you walk past the car from
the 20s to 70s, am a call way because for sure I would love to
participate in the show next year.
