Twice the trouble...

Postby aminorjourney » Sat May 24, 2008 7:33 am

Meet Velma...

Image

As i've recently been offered work further afield than my El can handle I've had to take the plunge and go hybrid. Which means we're now a two-prius household.

No laughing please.

I managed to pick up Velma for an astonishingly cheap £8,500 - which is the cheapest I've ever seen a second hand Second gen for sale through an approved Toyota dealer.

I shall of course be saving up some pennies and making use of these guys as soon as I've earnt enough money from this extra work I'm getting as a consequence of being able to travel further afield...

Her numberplate ends in "VLE" and she's red... and I'm mildly dyslexic, so saw it as "Vel" for Velma....
