It's funny how trucks can 'look' European. Apart from the European number plate, I don't know what it is that makes it hard for me to imagine it being on American or Australian roads. The stockyness? The fact that it looks so clean? Maybe there just aren't Merc trucs on this side of the Atlantic or the other side of the Indian.

We had a pretty dirty, banged-up Merc school bus in Booleroo Centre. :) And it had a roo bar.

For me, the primary difference is that different companies make trucks for those markets, and they have a very European look to them.

Right, but what makes a truck 'look' European?

Then again, I've yet to be able to describe what makes somebody 'look' bisexual, even though I seem to be pretty good at guessing.
