Nice Audi, especially as it won't suffer from DPF problems!

Sorry to keep the thread of topic....

Daeker, I think in most cases, work vehicles are exactly that and aren't privately owned. Most businesses use vans, so pickups are rare, and as gas costs the equivalent of roughly $8/ US gal, most working vehicles are diesel fuelled.

Land Rovers and small diesel pickups are often used on farms.

Ive added photos of some typical working vehicles, none of which have automatics. The combo van uses a 1.7 litre engine and the rest are 2-3 litre.
