Ooh, yes please! I found a perfect example among the hallowed pages (around here they are..) of AROnline, picture below is shamelessly linked to that most wonderful resource but one question: Would one Romahome camper not be enough, or does the lucky custodian of that fabulous example of Japanese engineering brilliance own one truck for each camper? Wow, talk about living the dream!

Had to Google: "Honda Acty Pickup." Can't believe that it comes out of the same stable as their more famous, widow maker, The Honda Fireblade. And talking of the stable, at 44 horses, it's hardly ever going o cause a stampede in the corral. Is it called a pickup because you can pick it up?

Not with its camper attached you couldn't! Unless you're Garth of course,
Ooh-er, you're not are you?

If that's a euphemism for: "Did I get my leg over?" Yes.
