Now they've become quite common - in London at least, due to the
artificial tax advantages - just watch the way they are driven. Despite
claiming to have nippy performance they in practice accelerate like a side
valve Morris Minor - the owner obviously with his eyes clamped on the
economy gauge. And are always at the head of the queue, in the middle of
the road. Perhaps they should be sold complete with flat cap and pipe?

If you're talking about the Prius then they are hardly common in
London. While I respect your otherwise informed posts, you really are
heading into Jeremy Clarkson style fantasy land here.
The only thing that has ever frustrated me is just crap drivers, I've
yet to see any correlation between Prius drivers (on the rare occasion
I've seen one) and holding traffic up.
All those black London taxis accelerate like lightning, as we all know.
