One of the benefits (or drawbacks) of living in South Africa is that having a car is a necessity. The lack of a vast public transport infrastructure means that for most people the daily commute cannot be avoided, but during the weekends having your own vehicle allows you to go out and explore the countryside. My chosen form of transport is the Suzuki Jimny. Its a small little car - only 2 doors and a 1.3l engine - but it packs a great deal of adventure into its size. My sister refers to it as "the Noddy car" and a 10 year old nephew is convinced that if he pushes it hard enough it'll roll over (which it will, but I'm not telling him that). Oh - and did I mention that it has 4x4 capabilities?
