I thought him excellent in K-PAX. Not what I'd call "landmark" for a film, but I can watch it over again (with a suitable interval). Loved the books as well.

Re: ..how many bikes I could get into a 12m3 van?

Thanks all. but I think I'm going to have to put several bikes together, measure the volume then mutiply up to 20 and see how that works out, as I can't test a van before I hire one :roll:

..how many bikes I could get into a 12m3 van?
