"The English Bedford-Lorry was introduced to Sudan in the late 1960s. Since then, local craftsmen technically modify the truck into an ideal vehicle, adequate for taveling off-road and for performing customers' expectations. The craftsmen and drivers call the lorry 'Sifinja' because it is soft and comfortable like the plastic slippers it is named after. ... Following closely the daily work, art and history of truck-modding on the Nile, a fascinating way of African creativity dealing with global commodities - the automobile - is opened up."--Container.
