iPhone, unlocked (Apples & Oranges)

Got myself an iPhone, and spend some late hours, unlocking it...
Switching from AT&T original card, to my Orange-UK SIM Card. I guess it's Apples and Oranges from now on !


Sweet success !

Anoushka's take on the new Prius

Analysis of all the specs of the Prius


Anoushka is thrilled

What do you mean "it parks itself" ?

Arrivederci Italia
Ohayo gozaimasu Japan !
Got a new Toyota Prius T-Spirit to replace the aging Alfa Romeo 146 Turbo Diesel... Comes just in time for our 6th Wedding Anniversary... Daryl is really excited about all the "software" in this car like the autoparking feature. See the YouTube clip if you don't believe me:
Yesterday, Ben and I took the Prius to 110 Miles per hour (177 KPH) on the A329 (motorway from Bracknell to Reading). We were well impressed by it's performance at that speed and it's acceleration. So much for the slow electric car preconceptions... (ironic because the manual rates the car's maximum speed limit at 105 MPH).

Someone's got a new car !

Someone's got a new car for their 6th Wedding Anniversary... Hummm, who could it be ?
