I have a Daihatsu HiJet 4x4 mini truck - that 660cc engine really REALLY
has to work to get me going 100km/h.  The fact that these vans are
heavier means that they would only be practical in the city which really
is what they were designed for.  I drove from Quesnel to Vancouver
and back this past weekend in my HiJet... 95km/h average going down and
85km/h average coming back with a 245kg BMW R1100 GS in the back... yeah,
I'll pass on another one of these trucks - oh yeah, mine is now for sale
if anyone is interested!
