We’re just thankful that it broke down where it did – in a nice cushy parking lot close to a coffee shop. The alternative place could have been anywhere but probably would have been somewhere along 300kms of highway between Kampala and Kibaale, as we were just about to return home when the breakdown happened.
We’re also thankful we had the chance to chat it up with such a cool old mechanic while waiting for the repairs to be finished. He’s an old car nut and takes pride in his work. The double cab is happy with a new clutch now thanks to Hamid - if you ever break down in Kampala, go to TAP Garage. And sit in the Mitsubishi Minica, ‘cause it’s awesome :)
