I'm allowed to laugh, because on New Year's Day I came off the road and got stuck in a bush for 2 hours. :p

Wait wait wait WAIT.

You can LIFT your car? Now if you start talking about how "macho" and strong you are, I am going to laugh. So, please answer the obvious question:

What in the WORLD do you drive, and why don't you get a truck?

It's probably a Vauxhall or something. And there are no trucks in Britain. Thank God.

1. It took FOUR of us, and that wasn't including myself. And we were only lifting the back to try and twist it round abit because there was no way we would lift the front where the engine is.

2a. I'm not made of money :p

2b. Where the hell am I gonna park a friggin' truck?

2c. Why would I NEED a truck in the first place?

2d. I wouldn't know where to buy a truck from even if I wanted one!

Nope. There's an E-type Jag over in Queens that I've got my eye on.

Mara, just kick the snow in some parking lot. Or poke it with a stick.

What about the Toyota Hilux? They've tried to kill enough of them on Top Gear ;)

Though technically...a truck there is really a truck (ie: MAN, MercedesBenz, Scania etc) none of this pickup business :p

Right. Lesson time.

Are we sitting comfortably?

No?

Well I don't care anyways...

This is a lorry:

They can also be articulated, but they are still lorries:

This is what I would call a truck:

I call this a pick-up truck (although the best pic I could find was a toy one, lol):
