With Christmas just round the corner, GSF Car Parts has released GPS art outlining a route driven by one of its fleet of vans, which depicts a familiar festive face.
The 100 kilometer (62 mile) route was designed to create the face of Father Christmas himself, while also incorporating car part pick ups from GSF Car Parts Birmingham East branch, and drop-offs at garage partners all around Birmingham.
With 194 branches nationwide supplying thousands of garages and members of the public with parts, West Midlands-based GSF Car Parts has just opened its new National Distribution Centre in Wolverhampton.
To celebrate the official opening in the first week of December, and to spread some festive cheer, the company thought it would be fun to create this GPS art in the course of a working day.
Beginning and ending near Summerfield Park in Birmingham, the route, which snakes for 99.9 kilometres around the city, passed places of interest including Edgbaston Stadium, the Wildlife Conservation Park and the National Sealife Centre.
The full route can be seen on Google Maps here.
Steve Horne, CEO of GSF Car Parts, said: “We’re proud to be based in the West Midlands, and when one of the team had the idea to recreate a festive GPS route as art – well, given we have more than 1,250 delivery vehicles on the road every single day delivering parts from our branches to our garage partners, we thought we’d have fun with it.
“One of our team was able to design a route around Birmingham that also incorporated car part drop-offs for one of our drivers, and we thought it might make people smile as we speed towards Christmas Day itself!”
