00:03 I talk with Luis and say, let's bring a UMM
00:14 and do something different.
00:15 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:18 Since a kid, when I used to see the driver of this car of '82
00:26 driving the UMM, I got the passion for the off-roading.
00:30 I've been passionate for cars all my life,
00:32 especially rally cars and then, of course, off-road cars.
00:36 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:39 For the Portuguese, off-road crawlies means a lot
00:49 because it's the biggest Portuguese brand
00:52 car made in Portugal.
00:54 This brand doesn't exist anymore as a car brand.
00:57 For us, it means a lot to honor the real pioneers that
01:01 brought the car in '82, '83, '84 to the Dakar.
01:05 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:08 Jose Megre was the main pilot on this race.
01:16 He's very famous.
01:17 We call him the father of off-road in Portugal.
01:20 He was the guy that developed all off-road in Portugal.
01:23 And unfortunately, he's not here with us anymore.
01:26 But we pay the tribute.
01:29 Wherever he is, he will be loving it.
01:31 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:35 I was surprised about the comfort of the car
01:39 because everybody told me, oh, you
01:41 are going to be destroyed on the first day.
01:43 No, it's not.
01:45 The car also is well-prepared in suspensions and everything.
01:48 So we had a very comfortable day.
01:50 And we are quite fit for the rest of the race.
01:54 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:57 You know, being here, driving in the race
02:04 with all the challenges and lack of knowledge that I have,
02:07 being on the driver's seat, on the co-pilot's seat,
02:09 it's awesome.
02:12 Luis is a rookie.
02:14 He's starting.
02:15 I will have problems with his wife
02:17 because he will love this.
02:18 And he will come back.
02:20 He will come back.
02:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:24 We are all competitive people.
02:29 Our aim is to improve every day.
02:31 We definitely want to take the car to the end.
02:33 That's the primary goal.
02:34 Because all the UFMs that came in the first years,
02:38 they started and they finished.
02:39 We want to do the same thing.
