    All i see is a technical waiting to be born.

    No one realizes how perfect of a choice this actually is.

    Can you explain why? I am from Germany ... we don't have that kind of pickup.

    You likely had it 20+ years ago, especially in the mountains. The Hilux pickup is fairly indestructible. Top Gear did an episode where they tried to kill one (linked below in other comments) and couldn't. It's rather impressive. I've seen the same exact model rolling around Africa and the Balkans today. ISIS fighters were known for using them as platforms for large-caliber guns. It's all about basic utility, stability, Toyota parts are easy to swap out, and adaptability to anything you feel like bolting on to it.

    For some reason I associate the colour red to the Renault Express. C15 is off white.

    C15 was probably white in 1986 and is now a mixture of dirt, moss, rust and soot. Inside, it smells an almost unbearable melange of engine oil, dust, ashtray, wet dog and crumbling pleather. Somehow it still runs perfectly, except for the radio.
