Herb-i-Islami gets road tested
1969 VW Beetle Herb-i-Islami at dusk on her first outing in Kabul after months of repairs.
Although she made to the top of this hill in Taimani, overlooking Kabul, it was only after conking out half way up, then the accelerator pedal jammed down, sending her careering into a football game, and finally she died altogether, forcing the super-mechanic Zia Hassan Faqiri to come and save her.
