Summary
After winning the drag races in Konza, he parked his car and only turned it on to go to Arusha, where he also won the rolling and drag races! In this episode of Gearhaus, Kalasinga and Vanilla are joined by Jeremy Mwendwa, who is better known as El Gapo, to discuss how a simple wish to have a fast weekend car turned into a passion for being the fastest on the drag strip. From the adrenaline of his first-ever pull in the Audi RS7 to the mechanical heartbreaks of snapped axles, Jeremy shares the full story behind his journey with the RS7, the GTR, and now the dominant TTRS. We get into: - Why we think the new Audi A6 Allroad might be the ultimate all-rounder (even with the mild-hybrid controversy). - Discussing the Nio ET9’s "Sky Ride" chassis and how European manufacturers are struggling to keep pace. - Jeremy’s experience maintaining a Discovery 4 and why 3,000km service intervals are a non-negotiable for Land Rover owners. - Why the GTR had to go: The staggering reality of $80k billet blocks and $24k transmission upgrades when you’re chasing 1,000+ horsepower.
