    Hello everybody! [​IMG]

    It's custom in my country to present ourself before posting so I'll do it here.

    My name's Andrea, I'm 42, I live in Italy and I'm a happy owner of a Prius since august. Before getting the car I'm been though many forums to get as much information as possible including Prius online.

    I've also opened the first Italian group dedicated to our car and it's going strong, even if our car is not popular in Italy; TDI's are.

    The main reason why I decided to come here is because.... I just ordered the CAN-viewer and, naturally, hunting for info's...

    Cheers, and happy Priussing! :)

    Some people consider it insulting to be called a "tramp" not the tramp of lady and the tramp.

    Welcome to PriusChat, Andrea! :)

    When you say you started an "Italian group", I assume you mean a web board like this one. If so, what's the URL?

    Tramp. I've seen some of your posts on Yahoo groups. It's about time you made it here to the Michelangelo of Prius groups! B)

    Nobody invited me... :p

    Always read that this site is down, so the pubblicity was not good! :D

    Had to stumble in http://www.hybridinterfaces.ca/ to learn that info on the gadget is available here for me to log in! :angry:

    But still.... This covers the USA version of the car, which is not quite the same versione we have here.... <_<

    I wasn't sure, over here we have a endearing phrase for a car buff "motor head" so I went to an Italian translation site and looked up motor and head and put them together. I assume the Salve is correct. All those years of Latin down the drain in an instant!

    Geez, and here I thought, when I saw it, that you were so much more suave than RMN (pronounced "SWAVE" :p ).
