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

My Vito has been with me to all the major UK races so far this season so I reckon I have travelled about 4000 miles.

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

The Vito packed up with all the bits and bobs we need for a race weekend but the biggest single item I transported was my new W800 Motorbike.

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

Long story but I had some railway sleepers in the Vito Sport.

Favourite thing about the Vito Sport?

For me it's the ease of driving and the ease of parking, People think it's too big because it's a van but that not the case at all, it fits in any spot so make it the perfect vehicle for me.

Funniest anecdote that's happened in the vehicle?

My sons, age 6 and 2, just love Daddies van so whenever we go somewhere in it they have to run and jump all over it before they will settle down in their child seats; shouting Daddies van while doing it!

Strangest place you've taken the vehicle?

It not too strange but I felt bad leaving it in Liverpool airport while I went away for a few days, luckily it was safe and sound on my return!
