One of the unfortunate things about Concours d’Elegance is that one tends to relax until the 11th hour then you end up losing points for no reason—in a competition where every half-point matters. Sometimes the cars just do not gel and something always goes wrong and you have to work overnight to fix it.
That is what 72-year-old Paul Chemngorem fears as he does the finishing touches on his vintage cars ahead of the Concours d’ Elegance staged by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club at the Nairobi Racecourse.
