Oh, what to do...what to do.....
Right, here's the scoop. I MAY need an alternative vehicle. Maybe. Don't think finances will stretch to two cars, but I think a pick-up is a good idea and I need something new and reliable and really swanky if I have to part with the S. Honda don't do pick-ups anymore (do they?) so I may need to look at Nissan (the Rally Raid is really neat) or Mitsubishi (L200 Warrior).
In all honesty, I can't see a dealer offering me

Graham, I wouldn't worry too much about trying to p/x it with a dealer other than Honda - if they want to sell their car badly enough, they'll do a deal. From what I understand, it's quite common for them to have "arrangement" with other dealers to shift on cars of the other dealer's marque.
Do Hyndland have other marques within their group? Or is just a one garage Honda outfit? If they do, that might give you some flexibility. If not, they still might offer you a price on the RoadieMobile, especially given your links with the staff there?

Hmm... Hyndland do have a Mazda dealership but only until the end of the month. The mazda pickup is crap.
I also think that Hyndland may even try to help sell the car for me but I just don't know. They've been pretty good lately.
I'm gonna call Mitsu and Nissan and see what the situation may be.
I really don't want to have to see the S go, particularly with you lot coming up again next year (!) but it's a case of practicality and so on. Mark, you know the score!
Thanks for the advice so far

Graham, the Rally Raid (also in Red) is what we fancy. We've found Niaasan very keen to do a deal, even to the point of being very competitive with the extra's we want. The only problem is that they are so popular, every time we get a test drive scheduled, they sell it before we get to see it!

Paul, I had the orange removed professionally
My car is now in great condition! Thanks for the advice though! Good luck with Lotto!
