Just watching some running thing on TV, 26 miles, nowhere round
Helsinki and back (the cops on the cycles seemed to be having an
easier time but hey, maybe the can't all aford bikes ..)? ;-)

Anyway, I think I saw a Prius following them (Toyota sponsor them or
summat) ...

1) It seemed to be able to keep up with the runners ..

2) Nobody seeemed to be taking any notice of it (no cameras flashing
away at it because they though it was being driven by a 'celeb', let
alone a shop assistant)!

3) It seems to have lasted the ~26 miles and only 24 of them have been
on the IC engine ... !

Didn't they used to use milkfloats for this duty?

So, I've *nearly* seen 1 Prius now .. goes to tick it off in my 'I
spy book of cars' but it's not in there .. but with what Dribble
says and petrol ~£1 / l you would have thought we'd be knee deep in
them by now?
