bye bye bruiser
I don’t know how to say this, but, I sold Bruiser (my beautiful 3 door 1991 Land Cruiser Prado). I know, I know. I feel awful. But, the truth is, I think he’s going to a much better home. His new mummy is an actual mummy – she has a baby girl, and a husband. Double salary… so I know Bruiser will get regularly cleans, and checks, and repairs – all the things which I wanted for him. I believe he will have a long and happy life.
But there are so many memories – breaking down in front of the President’s Office, climbing up Kigali’s hills on an empty tank and sheer willpower, looking down mockingly at all the ladies in their Rav4s, tearing through Akagera park and getting the scars to prove it, flattening that Mercedes Benz that dared to crash into us, and just driving…
The best first car I could have ever asked for. Bruiser – I will always love you.
