10535: The miles a Vauxhall VXR8 must travel between Holden's plant in Melbourne, Australia, where it's built and Vauxhall's HQ in Luton, Beds, before it can be delivered to a customer.

30: Number of fuel tanks at the oil depot in Thurrock, Essex, where last week's contaminated petrol came from. Each one had to be tested.

178.5: Speed in miles per hour of the world's fastest blind driver, Mike Newman, who set the record in 2005 in a derestricted BMW M5.

17,600: How many Clio MkIIs Renault sold in the UK in 2006. That's despite the launch of the MkIII in January, which shifted 40,000.
