    ...dickes B an der Spree (Berlin Germany). the German prius forum (priusfreunde) was my first try, but somehow they scared me away and there is not too much activity ....well here I am HELLO I am Daniel from Berlin and bought my 2006er Prius2 2 weeks ago. I am musician (drummer) and will use the car for small weekend tours throughout Europe and Germany. Last week we played 4 gigs down in Switzerland and northern Italy - my black beetle (i think the P2 looks like a bee) did great in the alps with such a heavy weight (drums, guitar amps + 2 passengers) and I could try out best travel speed on German Autobahn :) 95-100 mph seem to be still OK and a good traveling speed, faster speeds are possible but the car seems not to like it and work too hard :)

    well. I am super duper glad to be an new prius owner and to be member this great forum here!!! :cheer2:

    Another Welcome Dan,
    I think you will find this a great place to visit. Folks are generous with providing expertise and experiences with their Prii (?) which have been interesting and helpful.:)

    hey thanks folkes - the last 10 years I was volvoisti and member in several volvo forums, where I made such great expiriences. Since than I always buy used cars from forum members, trust 'em more than any dealer :) And had very good luck since than. Well, it's still a change having so much less horses under the hood (compared to my t5 which had 225hp) - but in city traffic I am even more flexible with my prius and speeding up from traffic lights feels great!!!
