    Returning to reviewing vehicles after a short break can be both exciting and challenging. It's important to acknowledge the strength and resilience it takes to jump back into something you're passionate about. Remember, it's okay to take a break when needed but coming back stronger than before shows determination and dedication. Embrace the opportunity to explore and share your insights once again, knowing that your unique perspective is valuable in the automotive community. Best of luck on this next chapter of your reviewing journey!

    I have LOVED this episode! I've also seen Daktari somewhere before on Lyn Ngugi's show if I remember correctly, he's a very humble guy. It is interesting to see he's a passionate car guy like some of us. GREAT FIRST EPISODE, GREAT HOST , GREAT GUEST & GREAT CAR! well done bro 👏👍
