Another new car!

We've finally reached the end of the queue for our long awaited Toyota Prius. Back at the start of November they told us 3 months wait. In March they said 2 more months. On Friday afternoon they called to tell us it would be ready sometime between the 16th and the 21st of April... and 2 hours after that they called to say it had arrived! We picked it up on Saturday morning. I think we have spent more time reading the instruction manual than driving it so far!
Did you know that there are 5 different methods to unlock the driver's door (and none of them involve a crowbar)! So far we have achieved 53 mpg on the car which is pretty good considering it generally improves with age. I expect to achieve much less efficiency on the commute to work as it is so short.
