Update: 2008 London Motor Show Poster In High-Resolution

We received a significant number of e-mails last night from our readers asking us for higher resolution versions of the 2008 London Motor Show poster that we first showed you yesterday –see here. Although we tried to send as many e-mails as we could, we reckon that it’s just better to let you download wallpaper versions of the picture straight from our blog. The image above is 800x600, but if you follow the jump, we’ve added the most common PC/Laptop wallpaper sizes along with one that’s 1800x1350. -Continued

Nissan Qashqai : Success Leads to the Addition of Third Shift

With European sales in exceed of 130,000 models since the Qashqai’s debut in March 2007 and a customer order bank of 60,000 units, Nissan had no alternative but to proceed to the addition of a third shift in its Sunderland plant in the UK.

By December 2008, 800 additional manufacturing staff will be recruited. Of these, 400 will be permanent positions, with the remainder temporary contracts. Nissan hasn’t announced any specific numbers, but since the two shifts can produce approx 200,000 Qashqais per year, we’d say that the UK factory’s annual output will probably be in excess of 250,000 units.
