OK irrelevant fact of the day.............
We made our 500,000 Vivaro/Traffic van in Luton this morning since the start of production in 2001 (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/wink.gif)
Taking into account 80% of build has been short wheelbase and 20% long wheelbase, if they were touching bumper to bumper they would reach from Luton to................................
Istanbul (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/shame.gif)
I worked that out yesterday morning using a guestamated figure ( short wheelbase length plus 1m ) but our Finance Manager said it had to be totally acurate for the Press release (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/sad.gif)
After he had double checked all the build figures today I was 0.24% out (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/worship.gif)

If that's just one make of van, it's make you realise why traffic congestion is getting so bad (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/sad.gif)

All the blody lorrys on the road, thats the main problem. Make them drive at night or at least of peak times, god knows they get paid enough.
