East Empire Company or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_India_Company
EIC I suppose it should have been. EEC was probably a leftover memory from playing TES games.

That brought about direct British rule and the Raj which lasted 100 years.

Followed by a Mitsubishi dual-cab (which I learned to drive in 1995/1996). I recall some other Mazda in the early 1980s, but can't recall much about it. Parents own 3 cars and a motorcycle. I'm barely able to afford a $10,000 car bought second hand.

No aircon and vinyl seats made it super fun in summer. Later bought a brand new Hilux 4x4 which was an improvement except the diesel was pretty gutless too.
