    Hello, my name is John from Australia. My wife and I are about to become proud owners of a new Magnetic Bronze (Gold) Prius tomorrow.
    Here in Australia, they are in short supply with most dealers quoting 8-12 weeks delay from order. We were very lucky...had an extended test drive last weekend (after a lot of research), were very impressed, and found one available in the colour we wanted at a nearby dealer today.
    We are very much looking forward to enjoying our technological marvel, but are long-time Toyota owners...having had 17 Celicas; 4 Camrys; and 3 Corollas.
    It was very interesting to read the comments from, and now join, this community, and we look forward to happy times.

    Regards from Down Under!

    Hi all, I am Mieke, living in the Netherlands.
    Last week I bought a Prius Classic (2001), a blue one (8K8 color). I'm looking forward very much to driving it!
    At the moment I drive a VW Golf, before that I had a Toyota Starlet, I'm happy to have a Toyota again!
    Nice forum!

    Re: Your not alone - Tell me about your experience

    I'm from Belgium, living in Virginia, at the point of bying a Prius 4. I might take the car to Belgium next year. Please give me your advice on the following issues "installing rear fog lights, EUR DVD for the navigation system, US warranty to be extended to world wide warranty..." I'm looking forward to it,

    Too funny guys, I guess they let anybody in here.:rolleyes:
    But it wasn't a riddle, more like a shout out to any other kiwi jokers reading this site.

    You should get some in, you don't know the joy you're missing out on. See if you can slip a few koalas in too, they are not bloody bears, OK.

    Hi PRIUSchat members from Ireland. Picked up a 2010 in Jan. A member here since then.
    Would be great if you could set up a European sub site. They look a little bit different here and have no reports of any brake failures! Hmmm.
