Re: new car
Very nice Dot. 
I hope that you and George havea great time zooming about in it. Will you tow it behind the bus?

Re: new car
This model can't have a tow bar on it due to chassis design but you never know what a good welder can do.
David, won't be towing this one unless on a dolly but pref not to so may get a 2 bob bomb for that.(anyone got a hitch n go spare?)
Bobr Seeing as I am now Aussie I decided that 2020 didn't exist.
It gets a bit spooky when you go over the white lines (either side) as it tells you with a bell and if you go over the double lines the steering wheel does a bit of a shake along with the alarm thing. Heaps of stuff to learn, should last us out.

Re: new car
Looks great Dot. Enjoy driving it.
Our Iveco has LDWS (lane departure warning system) which beeps like buggery when we drift over a white line without having an indicator on. Scared the bejesus out of me the first few drives. It can be turned off when the engine is started but Erich doesn’t bother.

Re: new car
A Sports GT? Was that George's choice? Nice looking car, the towbar thing could be an issue though. The Gen 2 Prius can't have a towbar according to the local Toyota people, but they sell them in the USA so maybe you can get one from there. When I finally got the receiver that slides into the towbar square box bit, it is tiny, I guess to limit the towing capacity, it would stretch like bubble gum if it was over loaded
When are you heading over this way to test drive it and show it off? Has George been allowed to drive it yet
