Kulesi sihloko sibuyela emuva ku-2012. Ngaleso sikhathi, iminyaka yethu yayisondele 'kumashumi amabili' kunokuthi 'amashumi amathathu' - futhi sasinezinwele eziningi…. yona i-Automobile Ledger yayingakaqedi ngisho unyaka.
Naphezu kwentsha yaseRazão Automóvel, izimpawu zokuqala “zezempilo” (funda, nokwaziwa) zencwadi yethu zaqala ukubonakala. Ngemva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa zokubhala ngaphandle “kokuthinta” noma iyiphi imoto - namuhla isimo sihluke ngokuphelele - kwaba (ekugcineni!) isikhathi sokwenza ukuhlolwa kwethu kokuqala.
Futhi yeka isivivinyo!
Imodeli yokuqala "eyanyathela" igaraji laseRazão Automóvel kwakuyiToyota GT-86. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi ukuqala onyaweni lwesokudla… ngendlela, isondo langakwesokudla! Uyafuna ukwazi ukuthi kuhambe kanjani? Nansi imibono yethu yokuqala.Ngalolo suku, konke ukungabaza kwaqedwa: Isizathu Sezimoto sizoqhubeka, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kubiza malini. Futhi kwathatha okuningi ukufika lapha… siyakhumbula ukuthi ngaleso sikhathi sasisebenza emini futhi sibhala ebusuku ukuze sikhulise iphupho losuku olulodwa Isizathu Sezimoto sibe umsebenzi wethu oyinhloko. Ukungalali ebusuku, ukutshalwa kwezimali okunganasiqiniseko sokubuya, abangani, imindeni nezintombi bekhala ngesikhathi esasibantshontshela. Bekungelula...
Siphinde futhi? Yebo yebo.
Ngemuva kweminyaka emihlanu…
Ngemva kweminyaka emihlanu sabuyela endaweni yesehlakalo. Siphinde sacela i-GT86 kwaToyota futhi (noma kunjalo igama lemodeli lalahlekelwa i-hyphen) saya eKartódromo de Palmela, "ukuhlolwa kokuqala, eminyakeni emihlanu kamuva".
Ngesonto elizayo sizokutshela ukuthi bekunjani ukubuyela e-Palmela ngemoto efanayo, kodwa ngeminyaka emihlanu yokuhlangenwe nakho okwengeziwe. Gcina lesi sithombe ukuze nje "ukhulise isifiso sakho sokudla"...
