Exactly the point, No need for a camera when driving a BMW(or any platkar).
You will never get to see the same sights through the viewfinder as with a Hilux.

looks great :thumbup: :clap: :clap: :celebrate: :yahoo:

The great Communication Ghuru Mashal McLuhan said: "The medium is the message". In this case the Hilux is the medium : without it many pictures (message)would not have been possible - so although it would be nice to see the Hilux, we know it is/was there... the message is clear because the medium is clear!
