we finally got our new car!! it’s a 1990 2-door manual diesel toyota landcruiser. it’s pretty cute. it’s a great combination of being a tough 4×4 africa car, yet small enough to make sense driving in the city.

we drove it home from the sunday pick-up game last night. no major mishaps, but considering you’re driving on the wrong side of the ride, learning a new clutch, avoiding potholes the size of canyons…all at night with no street lights and not all the cars with all their headlights/taillights, it was a small miracle that we made it home okay. whew.

it’s going to be really nice having a car after a month in the country without one. (soon it’ll have a MIHV logo sticker on the door…or maybe a custom-made MIHV tire cover for the spare on the back?) 101paige 101africa
