Amarokhethi okhokho bethu: Peugeot 125 (1952)
Ukuthi amasondo amabili ayengaphezu kweyodwa inketho yokuhamba ngendlela egculisayo ezinsukwini zobaba nokhokho bethu akusho ukuthi kwakungekho ngisho nencane isasasa kulaba bantu. Lapho ubaba engitshela ukuthi naye wayendizela e-Trieste kabili ngosuku ne-Lambreta yakhe enoboya ukuze athole amahembe akhe, wabe esewashushumbisa ewela umngcele futhi wawadayisela "amaBosnia", ngacabanga ekuqaleni: "Niziphambanisile."
Okuthandwa yilo mshushumbisi namuhla yilapho uletha isithuthuthu esihlakaziwe ngamakesi ambalwa endaweni yakhe yokusebenzela, futhi angasiqoqa usuku lonke. Lapho ibhizinisi liqala ukusebenza futhi lizuza umfutho, lolu suku luphawulwa ekhalendeni ngokuhlukana. Emehlweni enkosi enjalo, ubona inhlansi ethi umuntu wayethanda ngempela ukugibela amasondo amabili ngesikhathi esisodwa, futhi izindaba eziphathelene nemvundla namahembe zinengqondo.
Ngakho ngathola udumo lokuyenga iPeugeot endala. Injini engu-125 cc ekuqaleni yayingafuni ukusebenza kahle. Kodwa lokho okuqoqwa yindoda, indoda ingakwehlukanisa futhi ilungise. Ngo-1952, izimangaliso ezinjalo emasondweni amabili zanikezelwa kubantu abafayo nje. Ekugcineni, imoto enokumiswa okunemibandela kuphela entofontofo, indawo ebhalansi iningi layo isezingeni eliphezulu, futhi amabhuleki ayingozi kakhulu kunokusebenzisa kabi. Ngomoya omuhle, indiza ngesivinini esingamakhilomitha angu-80 ngehora. Uma efuna ukundiza ngaphezu kuka-100, kwakuzodingeka ehle naye okungenani esuka e-Triglav. Ukugqokwa kwamasondo akubalulekile neze, njengoba le njini igoba njengenyoka ekhoneni. Umsebenzi welambu ukukubona endleleni, hhayi ukukubona emgwaqeni. Esikhundleni sezandla ezifudumele, uyalele abapheki bezingane ezimbili ukuthi bafudumale iminwe ebandayo ku-buffet, kodwa ngaphandle kokuhlangenwe nakho okuthile komshini, awukwazanga ukufika lapho. Eminye imininingwane yezobuchwepheshe ikhomba ukuvela konjiniyela bangaleso sikhathi, ngaleso sikhathi ababengakwazi ukuthembela ekusekelweni kwe-elekthronikhi, imigwaqo engenasici kanye nenethiwekhi yesevisi ebanzi.
Uma kuqhathaniswa nezilwane zanamuhla, i-oldtimer enjalo, okungenani mayelana nokuphatha, ibuhlungu ngempela, kodwa ngisho ne-Ducati 1098 R izoba neminyaka engu-50 ngolunye usuku. Khona-ke inzalo yethu izothi: "Impela babeyibuso balaba bantu abadala."
