And I'm not talking about cylinders, I'm talking about doors. And specifically about Pickup Doors. Pickups are known across the world but their use as passenger carriers is primarily an American phenomenon. My thoughts on this began a few weeks ago. We we...  

Another enjoyable installment from you Pickups are largely absent from the automotive landscape here (the practical part of their brief has historically been carried out by vans over here), so it's always fun to look across the fence - thanks for another ... 

I'm sorry we never spotted a Hummer Pickup on that search (shown here next to my 2CV Van - thank God I didn't buy it but I was sorely tempted) Nor one of these International Harvest Xtreme pickups. A bit much for a trip to the gym and a stop for some Perr...
