My Ilorin Trip, What The Emir Drives...

I headed north on the 25th September 2017 for adventures and sight seeing. I saw so many beautiful things; the scenery, people and lanscapes (obviously there are few super cars). I met so many beautiful people on my sojourn who proved to me that we can still be human and remain Nigerian come what may @ahmadslim is one of them.

 The focal point of my writing today is the official car of the paramount ruler of Ilorin and Kwara state, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu Gambari. His Mercedes Benz speaks volume of the influential and royal status of his office. The car is aesthetic, luxurious, classy, stylish and powerful, of course all those features have all come together to become the signature for the S-Class models over the years.

 The cars is a beauty to behold and also something befitting royalty. Little wonder it has been adopted as a symbol of office for most rulers and top government functionaries including the President, Vice President, Senate President, Speaker House of Rep and other key principal officers of the National Assembly.

Ahead of the LA Auto Show, peep into the 2019 CLS

Image
Mercedes-Benz doesn’t seem able to contain itself from showing us its redesigned CLS ahead of the debut in a little over a week at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show. The third generation of the iconic fastback sedan has been testing in the wild for over a year and now we have our first clear look at the interior. It follows Saturday's first official look at the exterior. While the exterior of the car doesn’t appear to be straying far from the shapely albeit somewhat subdued lines of the outgoing model, the interior appears to be taking a marked step up in quality and design. The turbine-style air vents and digital dash looks very modern. You’ll also notice the dual screens, one for the instrument cluster and the other the infotainment system, are enclosed within a single pane of glass just like on the latest S-Class models. We’re still waiting for all the details but the new CLS, which goes on sale next year, as a 2019 model, is expected to be fitted a...
