Hello from UK

After a wait of nearly two months I get my Prius T4 Spirit in Aztec Gold with leather interior on Monday, which happens to be my birthday!

I'm part-exchanging my top-of-the-range Smart ForFour Passion which I bought new fully loaded with extras (including the gorgeous Smart Multimedia Navigator) three years ago for nearly £18k - only worth £4k now (64,000 miles, you see!). The Smart does 42ish mpg on the run or 38ish mpg around town. I plan (and have already started) to drive far less aggressively and therefore maximise the benefits of having a Prius.
I've just heard on the news that our local Police force have just got their mitts on a helicopter which can get enough evidence to prosecute for speeding from 3,000 feet up in the air - so this spells the end of speeding really and therefore its about time I calmed down a bit and concentrate on saving fuel and the planet.
I'm a gadget nutter so the Prius is really an ideal toy for me in any case.

Anyway, before you all fall asleep with boredom I'll get off now. I plan to be an active member of this forum so I'll see you again soon!

Best Wishes,


Jonathan
