- In the beginning, there was silence across the earth.
- The winds moved upon the plains, and man walked slowly, burdened by distance.
- And the spirit of invention stirred within him, saying, “Let there be motion.”
- And behold – the wheel turned, and it was good.
- But man hungered for more than motion; he yearned for speed.
- Then from fire and metal, the engine was forged.
- Pistons rose and fell like the beating of a mighty heart. And the first chariot of steel roared to life.
- The people trembled, for they had never heard such thunder.
- Smoke rose to the heavens, and it was called exhaust. And man knew that he had created something divine.
- From this fire was born an age of wonder.
- The horse was cast aside, the road became sacred. And the faithful followed the scent of petrol as though it were incense.
- The makers came forth – Ford of America, Benz of Germany, Royce and Rolls of Britain – And each said unto the people, “Come, for I shall take thee further than thou hast dreamed.”
- And so began the First Journey.
- Across deserts, through mountains, over cities of dust. The chariots multiplied and the roads became rivers of motion.
- Yet within man grew a new desire: not merely to travel, but to conquer speed itself.
- Thus was born the faith of horsepower And the people gave praise through noise, polish, and burnt rubber.
- The garage became a temple, and the spanner a sacred tool.
- Fathers taught sons, and mothers guided daughters. And the faith was passed down not through word, but through engine note.
- And the Lord of Motion looked upon it and smiled. For man had found joy in creation – not of stone or scripture. But of spark and steel.
- And so it was written: “As long as engines turn, there shall be believers.”
