Why do birds suddenly appear?

[BoristheBiter]

why do they make so many white vans?

[steve_t]

Blank canvases for the signwriters to do their thing?

[BMWST?]

white good background colour for the signwriting

[mashman]

Women need something to wash once they've finished the dishes or they'd go stir crazy

[Padmei]

White is pure... & honest... like us tradesmen.
All part of the uniform really. Signwriting is a lot more visible on a white car.
Most of the vans we use are jap imports & you know how they like white cars over there.

[Scuba_Steve]

generally speaking your choices in van colours are white or mitzi red, no-one wants to look like a PIG van or own a mitzi so your left with white... simple really aint it :D

Whites the new blue collar colour

[spookytooth]

white don't show the dirt so you never need to wash em

I used to believe that but trust me, it's a myth.

Every time you are near.

[Gremlin]

Coz candy coloured ones look far too dodgy.

[Flip]

Higher resale value for the above reasons.

Factory off white is best. I've owned my car nearly a year, and washed it twice. Actually, I bribed other people to wash it for me. It lives in a garage and gets taken out 4-5 times a week. Its still not brown despite it being months since its last bath.

The big question is why do they all drive so $%#@ slowly and lose power once they have positioned their white van in a blocking move in the fast lane.

[Crasherfromwayback]

They don't...

You need to get out more often then.

We are presentable at my work, we wash our vans at least once a week. But that could be due to driving close to 1000km/week.

[Madness]

On average it's 1,500km a week covering the Norf Island for me. Last time I washed it (Triton Uterous) I had to scrub the fuck out of the front bits.

and what exactly dose getting out have to do with washing vans ?
