It would appear that this tour Mark will be using Volkswagon for his ground transportation, probably much like he did with Range Rover. Here are links for a news article and part of a clip of a gig in Amsterdam he did for VW executives when they announced a new Series T Transporter. Guy also confirmed they will be using the VWs this year. Volkswagon Announcement Clip on Facebook It will be interesting to see if they use the Transporter model. It is supposed to have a lot of bells and whistles. |

Thanks Linda, the most interesting thing about that link is that it says Mark's record sales are now 136Million :) |

Someone has a better search engine than I do! I've tried a number of times to come up with those album numbers, or at least figure out where they come from, but no luck! It seems to me that at the time Privateering came out, they were still saying 120 million. If that was the case, maybe it and Tracker have really perked up Mark's sales! <_< |

Hi Linda, I just had to say.... I have owned a number of their vehicles and also had friends who worked for them, and it grates on me like fingernails on a chalkboard to see that name misspelt. It is: Volkswagen (with an 'e') ...or VW works... and that way it's spelled the same in both languages, too! :winky: |

I have to say that despite the recent scandal and recalls I'm still a fan of the brand and their product. Oh, and the Subject header should be spelled as, "Sponsor" ...just sayin'.... :mellow: |

Thanks QJF.... It's not important now but my main issue was with the spelling of the brand name. It is: Volkswagen (with an 'e') |

Still beating me up about the misspelling, eh, 3Pints? I guess my fingers thought I was typing English instead of German! :P |
