    I was fine in the back but an extra inch will make all the difference.
    I wonder why USA gets a spare and we don't then?
    Love that video Rene'

    Pat, did you ever post that report on the event? If so, where did you put it?

    Hey Pat, we drove the Stealth Grey Prius that you had for your challenge win in Sydney at the launch here in Brisbane yesterday.
    The cars still had the upload antennas fitted in the windscreens from that event.
    Sorry, but we weren't trying for economy all that much on our drive around Brisbane streets.....sure attracted attention, though with 14 new model Prius stopped in a line at the first traffic light!
    They certainly are a significant improvement over the NHW20 in a lot of ways.....smoother, quieter, more responsive, better seats and interior room, and lots more toys to play with.

    My only regret is not taking the time to play with all the toys.
    I'd personally have liked to have spent more time in an entry level Prius as if and when I buy a new Prius it isn't going to be an i-Tech unless I win the cross lotto.

    Jammies?
    Strange, that is what I wear on the street all the time here, I was in dress ups in Detroit.

    I think Rae is talking about the coloured people. They are weird. Are they suppose to be futuristic, or something. Nice looking car though.

    I think it is a rip-off of the Blue Man Group.
    A really crap one though.

    That was my first thought, when all I could see was an arm/leg... oh, they are using the Blue Man Group? then, I saw that they were wearing coloured jumpers, and thought... oh my, that is really dorky!
