Two times the SMUG...

Hi folks,

Well, we're now producing twice the smug (anyone see that episode of
SouthPark?) as your average Prius owning household...

I've just been offered some more work in Bath and North -East
Somerset (UK) While Bath is only 20 miles from our house and doable as a
round trip in my EV traipsing around the countryside around Bath for
an entire day visiting various schools (and getting little recharge
time) means that we've taken the plunge and picked up a Prius for me
too.

So we now have:

Daphne, my partner Kate's Prius, which is a 56 plate TSpirit in Blue,

and

Velma, a red 53 plate T4, which I managed to get today in Slough (Just outside London) for
an amazing £8,500!

The wheels were quite badly corroded, but as I knew this was a
warranty replacement I made it a condition of sale, along with four
new tyres. Being a 2003 model it has the analogue MFD, which means I
can make peace with my EV loving side and eventually convert it to
PHEV status. Watch this space.....

Velma was quite high mileage at 66,000 but she drove just fine, has a full service record and a good few years left on her warranty. She was also the cheapest ever Prius I've seen at an approved dealer. I even managed to talk the dealer into knocking £500 off and throwing in some new shoes for her!

We'll pick up Velma on Thursday and then post some photos

Nikki and Kate.
