Thy're a funny old lot... the Dutch!!
Couples in Amsterdam are writing out their dreams of passion for the chance to spend a night in a small car fitted with a bed and hoisted up on poles.
For a free overnight stay, couples must write to the Italian artist who converted the hatchback, and explain their romantic intentions - ranging from marriage proposals to re-enactments of teenaged back seat fumblings.
Federico D'Orazio says he removed the seats of the Opel Kadett, squeezed a double bed into it and placed it on four-metre-high poles to provide a place for "real love" in a city famed for its sex trade.
"I tried to make a space for real love in a city where sex is dominant," Mr D'Orazio said.
"You can have sex because it is a safe structure."
The car is not anywhere near Amsterdam's famous red light district where scantily-clad prostitutes display their charms in the windows of brothels, but it has received enough offers to be filled for six months.
It is available until mid-October.
