Into A Greener World
So my new car was delivered yesterday, and it's a Toyota Prius. It's shiny and silver and has a very space age console which holds the controls for lots of the functions and the display for the sat-nav and engine performance monitor. There's been a certain amount of mockery of it at work, but to be honest, with a cheaper to run mileage (especially when so much of my driving is in town) and a significant tax saving, I think I know who'll be laughing loudest in the end. It's a lovely smooth drive, and it's remarkable how much interest it attracts from other road users. I haven't felt this pretty in a long time
