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).
