What sort of cost is their to replacing the battery pack?

Apologies for the late response. The cost for us (a few years ago now) was €2000 with goodwill from Toyota. The new pack should well see the car through the rest of its life now, hopefully. 

We also have a 07 Civic hybrid and it is not nearly as good as the Prius.

Is that one of those weird IMA things?  I was looking at those a while back - they seem like a very half-arsed attempt at a hybrid.

That Landcrab is ace. I might not have been able to resist it if it had had a manual box, so that was a lucky escape

If I question your sexuality, will it show me in a bad, homophobic, bigoted, light? 

I quite like them too, and my kids have both called me gay on more than one occasion. (My wife agreed with them) 

This is probably the only reason I have the omega. A proper straight man's car.

I love this , Burberry, wood, fake BBS’ and all. I shouldn’t and if you described it to me I’d hate it, must be the colour. In fact if it was half the price , I’d have bought it! That, to me, is 200 quattro money .

This is a bargain at 2k, as 1 litre models are being advertised at 1500-2k.  I'm severely tempted as it's cheap to tax and insure, the only downside is it being in East Lothian where public transport is a bit lacking...

John Cooper Clarke reads his poem, Smooth Operetta - YouTube

 

'Mentioned in despatches'

 

Off grid, or off your fucking head?

a pastiche pastel ponce parlour bed

described as 'lovely', but son, you're misled

I'd sooner sleep with the recently dead...

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

...body of me great nan, who in her 90th year

would rather fight Germans or war in Crimea

and spend every day in post apocalytic fear

than spend one night in this mobile diarrhea...

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

...filled tat box with its odious vapour

what a fucking palaver,  fuck this for a caper 

fuck Laura Ashley and fuck her wall paper

pass me a sick bucket, pass me a scraper

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

...and let's get rid of the unbearable stink

save us from this hell, take us from this brink

of a nasty shade of 'dog's lipstick' pink

that's as 'tasteful' as taking a slash in the sink...

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

...that's probably hiding a nasty surprise

what's for tea mam, are you cooking us flies?

let's pack our bags and say our goodbyes

and give it a make over with no compromise

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

... on a bottle of gas and a big box matches 

and the grass is a grave where burnt  body detaches

and we're covered in medals and big fuck off patches

for services to caravanning, mentioned in despatches

Thats right; more or less just a plain old Civic with a stop start system. A nice and comfortable car and arguably better looking than the Prius, but less practical, less reliable and not as good at the hybrid jig.

Our first caravan, in 1965, was a 400!  My dad towed it behind his 1500 Corsair, until he traded that in for a lovely new Zephyr4 later in the year.  The 400 looked ridiculously small behind the Zephyr so he turned it in against a Sprite Alpine, next size up.  When we went away with him for the summer, which was our custom, there were 5 of us.....
