First I owned (not a company car) was the original Suzuki jeep.

I brought it when working in the Middle East and drove it home to the UK. Not a single mechanical problem the whole way.

In the UK I use to park it wherever I wanted and smiled when I got a parking ticket as the plod had carefully written down the arabic number plate.

Then one day drinking with my mates in the pub I watched it pass by on the back of a tow truck. Was more careful from then on.
