Do Europeans drive pick-ups?
All I here from Europe is what kind of car that someone drives, but I have never heard anyone mention that they drive a truck. So is it just a North American thing or what?

We dont call them pick up trucks.
They are not very common/popular.
In the UK any way.
I prefer a pink carnantion.

In New Zealand they like the el comino kind of thing. They call them utes, it's short for utility.
I can't remember the brand but my buddy was all excited and showing me one, these two young guys had pulled up in to smoke a little weed and drink a couple of beers in after they had finished work.
I'll see what I can google up for you.
I think it was one of these.

Dad owns an older-model Datsun (most of you know them as Nissans) and some sort of lowered (shudders) chevy pick-up. A larger, non-lowered chevy sits near the shop, as does a '80 Z28 Camero. I'd like to get the later two working for my own use and sell the Grand Am.
