Rough mileage covered so far for 2011 in the Vito Sport?

6,000 miles

What's the largest item you've transported in your Vito Sport?

A mountain bike and about ten surfboards.

What's the strangest item you've transported in your Vito Sport?

A snail hitched a lift the other day! It's going to take him ages to get home though.

Favourite thing about the Vito Sport?

Well it's all rather cool. I would have to say the heated seats being a surfer, when were up in Scotland filming for Strange Beautiful Life, the heated seats were so good. Also the van just looks slick.

Funniest anecdote that's happened in the vehicle?

Well it's a long story but the boys were trying to get me to sing songs by dropping subliminal hints. This had been going on for about a week and I had had enough of it so I said "that's it, I'm not falling for your trick again". Five minutes later they had done it to me again. We laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes and nearly drove into a bush.

Strangest place you've taken the vehicle?

John O'Groats. Have you been there? It's pretty strange.
