"Catepillar" Made in Kenya

[Mr_Black]

This guy represents generations of creative, crafty guys who have been neglected, instead of nurturing such talents we pigeon-hole such guys into the white-collar segment.

Like we say, it is the thought that counts, maybe someone somewhere will see what this guy did and challenge themselves to do better and exploit their creative juices.

I can make a car. All I need is to buy an oldchasis from Toyota, an engine from nissan, wheels, suspension, gearbox from China…you get the drift. I don’t have to go make an engine, or a chasis. Look at that contraption up there. What good use is it even to a mad man.
Suppose he made a Nduthi plough, or a water bouser powered by monkeys… They would be useful. But welding metal together to make the worst copy of a perfected invention is to me, stupid. What value does he add to caterpillars from Holand. This self defeating antics must be discouraged.

Precisely. Everybody seems to imagine that his motivation is money. For some of us, having proved that it can work and that we can do it is sufficient.

The two of you are missing the point. We have a wheel. Why do you want to invent one again. And in a very poor way too. We encourage invention, not copying. He is building a very poor contraption, much worse than Karl Benz first car.

try saying that to kasighau and co. This guy is a tinkerer, a creative guy whose passion for what be does others cannot understand.

No problem. What we know today as the Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian, Korean, etc car industry began by copying the existing.

Don’t know how I missed this one.
Who has a video of it in motion?

@Kasighau aren’t you the one who makes fake tomato sauce? Why are you reinventing the wheel?

findeo labda huko twitterville. When you look at how the Japanese car industry started, they bought Western models and “reverse engineered” the cars then made replicas of them, albeit with slight changes. For example, the first Land Cruiser by Toyota in 1940s was a Jeep knockoff.

Are you guys serious. Re inventing is world away from copying. I make use of past successful formula to make Tomatoe sauce…that is copying…,very good…I just make use of a wheel. On the other hand, that idiot from kiambu wants to invent a Caterpillar… We already have them. Best would be to buy the blue prints and copy them. Use the formula, make generics …originals need so much research and funding that we don’t have. All the world over, people copy…from roads to pen to paper to ferking…but we don’t go making a newer version of the wheel, or fire…
