    I know what a roundabout is. We have those here in Oklahoma.

    But what is a HGV? Is it a Huge Vehicle?...:cool:

    I had to google HGV - it seems to be a SEMI-TRUCK - all WHITE.

    Roundabouts - we have heaps of them, they're wonderful for traffic flow - except that most drivers have no idea how to use them. GRRRR!! :(

    The few roundabouts here in FL folks to wrong way round and it confuses them. Then again the worst drivers in USA. Officially.

    Heavy Good Vehicles. It's what North Americans would call a semi-truck.

    Finally got my Prius back....! Again :)

    Parked up at the supermarket and couldn't help notice an old friend parked nearby. Made me realise I'm still not convinced by the new backside on the 2016!

    I think the rear end is reminiscent of an earlier Toyota sports coupe, just not sure which model/year it was.

    Not that one Alan, the Celiac Supra mk II is probably the one I meant. The back end viewed from the side.
    Thanks TP.

    Interesting spelling correction. Now we are comparing the car to a disease.

    Ha ha ha! You wouldn't believe how many times I tried to finger-slide that in and every time it screwed C e l i c a into something else. Even when I thought I'd got it right it changed it, so I blame it on Toyota for using names that confuse predictive typing.

    Or Samsung for this tab 2! ;)

    Predictive typing :LOL: and grammar correction are both unpredictable, but many times incorrect.
    Toyota named their car before both of these abominations became popular.

    As far as I can tell my PRIUS may be my first NON-gluten-free car. I suspect some of the plant-based eco-plastics could contain gluten.

    Very nice, but sadly not quite the model I've seen in UK. Looking from the side, the rear quarter had a similar crease line leading to a miniature fin/spoiler. Does that make sense to you?
