"Virgin Media has unveiled a Thunderbird 2-inspired van to promote its delivery of new digital services. The company has taken visual cues from Virgil Tracy&amp;#039;s International Rescue aircraft to celebrate the delivery of 120Mb broadband and TiVo to its customers.  Other &amp;#039;Super-vans&amp;#039; in the company&amp;#039;s entertainment-inspired fleet include Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters, the jeep from Jurassic Park, the Batmobile, Lightning McQueen from Cars and Optimus Prime from Transformers. Virgin Media engineer and driver of the Thunderbird 2-inspired car Mark Palmer said: &amp;quot;I am a big fan of the Thunderbirds, so being able to drive around in a van themed like Thunderbird 2 will be amazing! &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t promise I&amp;#039;ll be dressed as Virgil Tracy or that I am the &amp;#039;Brains&amp;#039; behind Virgin Media but I can certainly help to deliver our range of great products and services to customers. If anyone sees me, they should definitely give me a wave.&amp;quot;  Executive director of access at Virgin Media Maurice Daw added: &amp;quot;We are really excited about the latest additions to our super-fleet, we know how proud our engineers are when they&amp;#039;re driving around in these bespoke vans.  &amp;quot;Although they won&amp;#039;t be fighting ghosts or worrying about avoiding any T-Rex&amp;#039;s we are confident they will make our customers smile!&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
