    So, there's a funny story about why Emil Jellinek chose to name the car after his daughter Mercedes. So he used to get these cars from Carl Benz, modify them and use them as race cars. But after the accident that killed his driver, him and Carl made modifications to make the cars lighter (just as mkurugenzi explained).
    So when the next one was delivered, he decided to take it on a road test. He asked his wife to join but she refused. Then her daughter agreed to ride with him on that road test. To him that was a show of great faith. So he chose to honour his daughter. Otherwise we could be having the wife's name, or even his, and not Mercedies.
    Cheers to fathers and their daughters.

    High School history only speaks about Karl Benz as the first person to build a powered car............kumbe mkuru behind the scenes anapiga research yake moja safi anagundua msupa kwa jina Bertha was also as important as Karl in this discovery alongside others like Maybach.....hahaaa wewe inakaa tutakupea hii syllabus ureview buana!!!!! BIG UP MKURU!!!!!

    The dimming of lights whilst explaining a context of flashback; and the science animations are genius. One day you and a few others will change TV as we know it.. I give you five years. And when that day comes, you will come looking for me. Cheers!

    You can tell from how Abeli passionately tells this story....that he's a die hard Mercedes Benz enthusiast/fan... And I can almost bet, he supports Hamilton on the F1 track,why??😏😏 You already know what he drives and definitely how his skills compliment the car💯 To all Benz lovers,this was definitely exciting to listen to😍😍

    @Abel Mutua, this was a very great story of tenacity and daring to believe. You may not realize this, but this episode premiered a day to the International Engineering Week, a true motivation to women around the world, more so those in STEM.,., this was a work of art. Danke schön

    I love the way you pick your heroes and or heroines; those little, minute, wee ones that no one notices. Those with little gods and, mostly tiny-winy or absolutely voiceless. Those lacklustre ones that no fellow seems to remember. Then, like Archimedes, you make a forty-five minute eureka streak out of it. You kill it man!
    Love from Thailand.
